Dewalt Accessories DW1912 Split Point Drill Bit 3/16 in 5pk

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1912 is a 3/16-inch split point drill bit sold in a pack of 5. It features a Pilot Point tip that starts on contact, producing clean and accurate holes without the need for a center punch. The No-Spin Shank locks securely into the chuck to prevent bit slippage during operation. A tapered web design strengthens the bit along its length, reducing the likelihood of breakage under load. Size markings are positioned above the shank where wear is minimal, keeping the measurement readable over the life of the bit. Suited for drilling in wood, metal, or plastic.

This drill bit is intended for general trade and job-site use wherever precise, clean-entry holes are required. The split point geometry reduces breakthrough lock-up, which is especially useful when drilling through sheet metal, structural steel, or dimensional lumber. The 5-piece pack format supports stocking a tool bag or service van with ready-to-use replacement bits. Applicable for HVAC techs, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who regularly drill through mixed materials during installation work.
