Our Cobalt High Speed drill bits are made of high speed Cobalt Steel. The Cobalt content adds high abrasion resistance to the already hard working properties if our bits. Heavy web construction and 135 degree Split-Point add to the long life of these bits. Available in sizes 1/32″ – 1/2″.
Jobber Drill Bits are made from high-speed steel, with a 118° angle tip, and a black oxide finish. These bits are in American Wire Size. Fractional size bits are listed separately. Click on the Jobbers tag below to see more.
Paddle bits, also called spade bits, have a wide, flat blade. They are commonly used by tradesmen such as electricians and plumbers for drilling holes through studs in walls for running wiring or pipes (auger bits and hole saws are also used for this), but they also have a place in the woodshop for drilling on fine woodworking projects. An extension kit is available for the extreme jobs. It includes a 12″ extension shaft, and a bent-hex tool to securely tighten the retaining screws when the paddle bit is installed. (See image.)
Spade bits are used for rough boring in wood. Spade bits are flat, with a centering point and two cutters. The cutters are often equipped with spurs in an attempt to ensure a cleaner hole. Intended for high speed use, they are used with electric hand drills. Spade bits are also sometimes referred to as “paddle bits”. Available in 1/4″ – 1-1/2″.
Durable hardened cutting edge for long life in tough materials, including nail-embedded wood. Fully-forged bit for maximum durability. Wide flutes for maximum chip removal and less binding. Aggressive screw-pitch for faster drilling. 5/16″ – 1-1/2″ in 6″ and 18″ length.
Jobber drill bits are well-named, because they do the job as expected. The basic set contains bits made from High-Speed Steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish. The distinctive Black&Gold set has a special finish to help prevent rust. The Mechanics Stubby set features a reduced length, which means it is less prone to breakage, even under hard use. The Cobalt drill bits are specially made to drill through hard metals, including stainless steel.
