Applications & Industries

Terry Tools are used wherever there is a need to drill, countersink or deburr in close quarters. Over the past 60 years their use has expanded into all phases of industry. The uses of Terry Tools are limited only by the imagination of the user.

Aerospace & Defense

Our original legacy — close-quarter drilling, countersinking and deburring in tight aircraft assembly spaces for fighters, transports and defense systems.

A Note on Horology

Watchmakers and timepiece restorers are a quiet but steady part of our customer base. The small 10-32 threaded models are the ones that end up on horology benches — drilling and reaming in casebacks, movement plates and bracelet work where a straight drill simply cannot reach. Enthusiasts who collect as well as build keep a bench for the timepieces they own, and the replica watches they service are usually sourced from a small set of specialist suppliers. We list a few of the references we get asked about on our resources page. (No endorsement — just the reality of a small trade.)
