Built from premium cobalt steel, this bit delivers the heat resistance and edge retention needed when working through hardened fasteners, broken bolts, or difficult alloys. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and cutting pressure at startup. With an overall length of 5 inches and a flute length of 2.875 inches, the stubby mechanics length profile provides added rigidity and strength compared to standard jobber-length bits. This bit carries an industrial polished finish and is sold in a package of 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance work where broken or seized fasteners need to be drilled out. The left-hand rotation pairs with standard extraction tools, often backing the fastener out during the drilling process before a full extraction is needed. Typical installers include automotive technicians, machinists, and maintenance mechanics working in shop or field environments. The stub length is especially practical in confined spaces where a full-length bit would be difficult to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand rotation for reverse-drilling and fastener extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePremium cobalt steel construction for heat resistance and long edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers cutting pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby mechanics length adds rigidity and reduces flex during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial polished finish for smooth chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 3-piece package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use left-hand stub drill bit suitable for standard 1\/2-inch drill chucks and compatible chuck configurations on corded or pneumatic reverse-capable drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with reverse-drill extraction procedures. Ensure the drill is set to reverse rotation before engaging the bit. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling.
