Maintenance-Length Drill Bits

Also known as mechanics’ bits, these are shorter and more rigid than jobbers' bits but longer than short‐length bits. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.
Drill bits with flats on shank have three flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in the drill chuck.
