- Razor-Sharp Drill Bit Tip: The precise grinding process results in a very sharp tip, allowing for quick and accurate penetration into materials. This also reduces slippage when starting a hole.
- Excellent Chip Evacuation: The precisely designed flutes efficiently clear metal chips from the drilled hole, reducing clogging and ensuring smooth drilling.
- Wear-Resistant: Thanks to its high-quality material and manufacturing, the drill bit boasts a long service life, even with heavy use in metal materials.
- 1/8-inch (3.175 mm) Size: This is a widely used size for small to medium-sized holes.
- Pack of 10 Bits: Offers great value and ensures you always have spare drill bits ready for use.
