    Choose the right countersink angle, body diameter, and number of flutes for your application.

    Drill-Point Countersinks for Screws

    Save time by drilling a pilot hole and countersinking in a single step. These countersinks have a small drill point to drill new pilot holes topped with cone-shaped recesses for screw heads.

    These versatile, wear-resistant countersinks cut cleanly in most materials, including plastic, aluminum, and steel.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Withstand heat, corrosion, and abrasion better than uncoated and black oxide countersinks, so they stay sharp over longer periods.
    Number of Flutes—Countersinks with fewer flutes are best for aggressive cutting. They leave more room for chips to clear, reducing friction and heat. Countersinks with more flutes spread the cut across more edges for better stability, a smoother finish, and longer tool life.

    Drill-Point Counterbore Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Counterbores. Drill-Point Counterbore Sets.
    Skip a step when installing screws of various thread diameters in metal. With a sharp point on the tip, these counterbores drill a pilot hole topped with a flat recess for the screw head. That's faster and more accurate than switching to a counterbore in between passes with your drill bit.
    High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these counterbores make accurate cuts in most materials without chipping or cracking.

    Oversized Counterbores

    Designed to give screw heads a slightly loose fit, these counterbores are a bit wider than standard sizes. The extra clearance prevents binding and leaves room for a seal or O-ring around the screw head.

    Built-in-Pilot Counterbores

    A pilot centers these counterbores and prevents wobbling for an accurate cut on the first try. With dimensions that match standard screw-head diameters and thread diameters, they are your plug-and-play option for pilot-driven counterbores.
    Metric counterbores have undersized pilots to meet DIN standards.

    Impact Wrench Countersinks for Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Countersinks. Impact Wrench Countersinks for Screws.
    Trade your drill for an impact wrench to countersink faster. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, these countersinks are built to handle the high torque of your impact wrench. This means they cut material faster than a power drill without snapping, even when making large holes in hard metals. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you when a cutting tool snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue over long jobs. Choose an 82° countersink angle for inch screws and a 90° countersink angle for metric screws.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these countersinks into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers and magnetic-base drills (both sold separately). For jobs that don’t require the torque of an impact tool, you can fit these countersinks directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.

    These versatile, wear-resistant countersinks cut cleanly in most materials, including plastic, aluminum, and steel.
