It works

If you're doing some filing just keep the tiny cuttings and mix with grease, does the same

Tbh, I'd rather have separate drills and taps.
Can't really see the point of combining the two anyway .. at least not for small workshop use.
Maybe they'd have a place in a high mass production scenario where speed is an issue but apart from that I see no benefit in them.
