    Standard

    Drill multiple hole sizes using only one bit. These have steps with progressively larger diameters—the deeper they drill, the bigger the hole. Count the steps as you drill to achieve the proper size. These bits also deburr as they cut, so they're good for thin materials like sheet metal and plastic panels. Wear and heat resistant, high-speed steel is versatile for use on a range of materials.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these bits can last 50% longer than uncoated bits.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.
    Uncoated—The most economical option, uncoated bits perform best when used on low-carbon steel and aluminum. Polished to reduce friction, they're also known as bright finish bits.

    Cut large holes with drill presses and portable drills that have a standard-size chuck. The shank on these bits has a smaller diameter than the cutting tip. High-speed steel is good for general purpose drilling in most metals. Also known as Silver and Deming bits.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Extended Length—Drill through panels and thick workpieces with our longest bits. Their length is good for creating deep holes but makes them less rigid than other bits. As a result, they are more prone to wobbling or breaking, especially when drilling hard materials.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these bits can last 50% longer than uncoated bits.

    Standard

    Performance similar to solid carbide but at a lower price point. Like carbide bits, these are stronger than cobalt and high-speed steel and maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. However, when drilling tough metals like iron and hardened steel, upgrade to carbide for longer life.
    Extended Length—Drill through panels and thick workpieces with our longest bits. Their length is good for creating deep holes but makes them less rigid than other bits. As a result, they are more prone to wobbling or breaking, especially when drilling hard materials.

    Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits for Masonry and Concrete

    Crush rather than cut material so bits don’t jam or overheat while drilling masonry and concrete. The ultra-hard carbide tip breaks masonry into pieces and the widely spaced flutes channel them out of the hole. These bits stay sharp, resisting wear and heat that will dull or break other bits.

    Not only do these bits bore holes faster than standard smooth-finish bits, they create less friction and heat buildup to last longer. The spurred teeth have a long life, but they're less effective at guiding the bit so cuts on angled and overlapping holes tend to be rougher. Also known as multispur bits.

    Dust-Collecting Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits for Masonry and Concrete

    Connect these hollow bits to a vacuum system, and they'll suck up dust while drilling. Use them to meet OSHA standards for silica dust exposure when drilling in concrete, brick, and other powdery masonry material. These bits are especially useful for cutting holes for adhesive anchors—you don't need to clean out the hole before installing. They have a titanium nitride (TiN)-coated carbide tip that resists wear and heat to stay sharp.

    Rebar-Cutting Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits

    No need to move the hole when you encounter rebar in concrete—swap out your masonry bit for one of these cutters. They have a carbide tip that resists wear to stay sharp. Once you're through the rebar, resume drilling with the masonry bit.

    Tight-Tolerance Water-Hardening W1 Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Water-Hardening W1 Tool Steel Rods.
    Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances. Also known as drill rod. With far less alloy content than other tool steel, W1 is the most machinable we offer. These rods are often used to make hammers, files, and reamers—tools that don't require the dimensional stability of A2 or O1. These rods are also decarb-free, which means any surface flaws created during the manufacturing process have been removed. This makes them even more machinable and leads to better results from heat treating or finishing. Heat treat the surface for extra wear resistance. Or, quench this steel in water to boost its hardness and strength, giving it a sharper, more durable edge for small tools.

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Drill Bits. Impact Wrench High-Speed Steel Drill Bit Sets.
    Cut holes of different sizes twice as fast as a power drill. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, the bits in these sets are built to handle the high torque of your impact wrench without snapping, even in large holes and hard materials such as stainless steel. A built-in pilot with a stepped tip centers the bit, prevents it from slipping, and drills with one third the pressure of standard bits. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you if the bit snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue during long jobs.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these bits 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 bits directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.

    Speed up jobs using high torque to drill multiple hole sizes with just one bit. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, these bits are built to handle the power of your impact wrench without snapping, even in large holes and hard materials such as stainless steel. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you if the bit snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue during long jobs.
    The split point starts cutting on contact, so you don’t need to drill a pilot hole. The steps have progressively larger diameters—the deeper you drill, the bigger the hole. Count the steps as you drill to achieve the proper size. These bits also deburr as they cut, so they’re often used for thin materials such as sheet metal and plastic panels.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these bits 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 bits directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.

    Impact Wrench Taps

    Thread holes 15 times faster than by hand. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, these taps are built to handle the high torque of impact wrenches to cut material quickly. Your wrench’s rapid hammering keeps these taps moving forward for smooth, continuous cutting. Those rapid blows also help break and clear chips as you cut, so you don’t need to pause and reverse, even in large holes and tough materials. This also means the tap is less likely to jam on chips and snap.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these taps into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers (sold separately).
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Run at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.
    Taper Chamfer—Good for both starting holes and threading through holes. These taps have the longest taper to gradually engage with the material, reducing the force needed to turn them. They can't reach the bottom of blind holes, however, so you will likely need to finish with a bottoming-chamfer tap.
