Drill Bits
These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Black-oxide and black-and-gold-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.
Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

Cobalt Steel Drill Bits
These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. Made of cobalt steel, which has better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, they can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated drill bits.
Gold-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.
Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

High-Speed Steel Left-Hand Drill Bits
Also known as reverse-flute bits, the flutes spiral in the opposite direction of other bits. Use in counterclockwise drilling applications such as removing broken screws. These bits are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Black-oxide and gold-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.

Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.
