Dewalt Accessories DWA1206 Cobalt Drill Bit 3/32 Inch 5 Pack

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DWA1206 is a 3/32 inch cobalt split point drill bit sold in a 5-pack, engineered for professionals who drill frequently into metal, stainless steel, and heavy steel. The cobalt construction delivers significantly longer service life compared to standard black oxide bits — approximately 4 times the longevity under similar conditions. The split point tip engages the work surface on contact, eliminating the need for a center punch and reducing walking on hard materials. This bit is a practical choice for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal fabricators who need consistent performance drilling through tough ferrous metals on the job.

The DWA1206 is suited for use in residential and commercial trade applications where frequent metal drilling is required. Common scenarios include drilling pilot holes in equipment panels, electrical enclosures, ductwork flanges, and structural steel brackets. The 3/32 inch diameter is a standard size used for pilot holes before self-tapping screws or for clearance holes for small fasteners. The 5-pack format reduces downtime when bits wear or break on demanding materials such as stainless steel and heavy-gauge steel plate.

Installation Notes

Cobalt drill bits are installed and used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers using standard keyed or keyless drill chucks. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before drilling and verify chuck tightness before applying load. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling stainless steel or heavy steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Wear appropriate eye protection per applicable safety standards when drilling metal.
