    Quick-Change Hex Drill-Bit Countersinks for Wood and Plastic

    Switch bits instead of tools to simplify jobs. These snap directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. You can slide the countersink up and down the drill bit and then secure it with a set screw, so one tool will drill countersunk holes for screws of different lengths. These countersinks cut a smooth and even finish in wood and plastic on the first pass.

    Our basic drill bits are also the most versatile. Cut holes in a variety of metals, from the softest aluminum to the hardest steel.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.
    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.

    Chip-Clearing Drill Bits for Wood

    Prevent clogs that wear the bit and slow down drilling. The flutes on these bits have an open design that pulls chips out of the hole faster than standard spiral flutes. Also known as pole or ship auger bits, they are used to cut deep holes through lumber, railroad ties, and utility poles.
    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.

    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.
    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.

    Drill, countersink, and drive screws without switching three separate bits in and out of your power tool. With a single hand, flip between drilling countersunk holes and driving screws. The countersinking drill and screwdriver bit are secured with set screws, so you can switch them out for any bits with a 1/4” hex shank.
    The countersinking drill has an 82° angle, allowing inch-sized flat- and oval-head screws to sit flush with the surface.

    Drill Stops

    Drill Stops—Attach with a set screw to stop the counterbore at the exact depth you need. These stops have a ring on the end that rotates separately from the body. When the ring touches your workpiece, it stops spinning to prevent scratches and dents. An opening in the side clears chips from the hole as you cut.

    Drill Bits with Countersunk-Hole Guide

    Center holes perfectly before installing hinges, latches, and other hardware that require a countersunk screw. These bits have a built-in guide with a beveled tip that keeps the bit in position as it enters the material. So instead of measuring and marking, use your hardware as a template to drill the pilot holes. Once screws are installed, they're straight and the heads are flush. Also known as Vix bits, they're made of wear- and heat-resistant high-speed steel.

    Fasten differently sized screws with these sets. They save you the effort of switching three separate bits in and out of a power tool, instead letting you flip between a countersinking drill and a screwdriver bit with a single hand. You can also attach your own countersinking drills and screwdriver bits as long as they have a 1/4” hex shank.
    Countersinking drills have an 82° angle, allowing inch-sized flat- and oval-head screws to sit flush with the surface.

    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.
    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.
