Cleveland C72197 Jobber Length Drill Bit Set 29 Pc

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72197 is a 29-piece jobber length drill bit set covering sizes from 1/16 inch (0.0625 inches) to 1/2 inch (0.5 inches) in 1/64-inch step increments. Each bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide finish for basic corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The 118-degree radial point is a general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of materials. Straight shanks fit standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters. This set is used in metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a complete fractional inch coverage in a single case.

The C72197 set belongs to the Cleveland Series 2001G CLE-MAX product line and is intended for general-purpose hole-making in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The 29-bit sequence steps through every 1/64-inch increment from 1/16 to 1/2 inch, giving a technician coverage for tapping prep, anchor pilot holes, sheet metal work, and panel knockouts. The bits are stored in a metal case that indexes each size for quick identification on the job. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and handheld drill driver use.

Installation Notes

Drill bit sets of this type are installed and used by licensed trades and general technicians working on metal fabrication, panel work, and structural prep. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm chuck jaws are fully tightened on the straight shank before operating. For metalworking applications, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
