    Our basic drill bit material is also the most versatile. These jobbers' bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    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.
    Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
    Standard Point—Good for general purpose drilling. You’ll need to make a pilot hole to center the bit.

    The toughness and wear resistance of cobalt steel in a length that's rigid enough for most applications. Cobalt lasts at least twice as long as high-speed steel. It can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without damaging the bit on hard materials such as nickel.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—The hardest and most wear-resistant coating, especially at high temperatures. These bits are best for hard and abrasive materials, such as iron, titanium, and fiberglass.
    Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
    Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
    Split Point—Starts cutting on contact so you don’t need a pilot hole. The point also keeps the bit centered for straight and accurate holes, even with a portable drill.

    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.

    SDS-Plus

    Shank

    The slotted shank fits SDS-Plus-drive rotary hammers, which rotate and hammer bits simultaneously to penetrate material. Also known as percussion or impact bits.
    Standard Point—The most common point type handles most jobs. However, for more aggressive cutting that generates a lot of heat, consider a multipoint or serrated bit.

    Drill Bits for Plastic

    The precision-ground, 60° point penetrates gradually to prevent cracking and chipping. It also reduces heat that can deform the material. Use these bits for drilling into acrylic, laminate, and other plastics.
