Century Drill Tool 22324 3/8 Inch Gp Drill Bit 3 Pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 22324 is a 3/8-inch general purpose drill bit designed for drilling through wood, metal, and plastic. The 135-degree split-point tip is self-centering, eliminating the need for a center punch before drilling. The point penetrates faster and with less applied pressure than standard 118-degree points, and it resists walking or wandering at the starting surface. Ground flats on the shank ensure tight, secure chucking in both keyed and keyless chucks. This bit is suited for use by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who need a reliable general-purpose bit on the job.

The 22324 drill bit is appropriate for light to medium drilling tasks across residential and commercial jobsites. Common applications include drilling clearance holes for fasteners, conduit runs, pipe penetrations, and mounting hardware in wood framing, sheet metal, and plastic materials. This SKU is sold in a pack of 3, making it a practical choice for tool bags and service vans where bit replacement is routine.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before use and verify the chuck is fully tightened to prevent slippage. Match drill speed to the material being drilled — lower RPM for metal, higher RPM for wood and plastic. When drilling metal, use cutting fluid or oil to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace worn bits promptly to maintain clean, accurate holes.
