Dewalt DW1602 Black Oxide Drill Bit 1/8 X 12 Inches

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1602 is a black oxide coated twist drill bit designed for drilling into metal. At 0.125 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this extra-long bit reaches deep into workpieces where standard-length bits fall short. The black oxide finish reduces friction and helps extend bit life during ferrous metal applications. This bit is sized for trade and industrial use and is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who need reliable metal penetration in tight or deep access situations.

This bit is suited for drilling mild steel, iron, and similar ferrous metals encountered in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. The extended 12-inch length makes it practical for drilling through structural members, deep panels, or stacked material where standard-length bits cannot reach. Sold individually, it fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks used with corded and cordless drill drivers.

Key Features

• Black oxide coating reduces friction and slows corrosion on cutting edges
• Extra-long 12-inch length for deep-reach metal drilling applications
• 0.125-inch diameter for precise pilot and clearance holes in metal
• Compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Single-piece construction with no moving parts to maintain

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank twist drill bit for use with any 3-jaw keyed or keyless chuck accepting a 0.125-inch round shank, including corded and cordless drill drivers common in trade applications.

Installation Notes

Metal drilling bits of this type are installed and used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant on ferrous metals to extend bit life. Wear eye protection in compliance with applicable jobsite safety requirements. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the tip shows signs of dulling or chipping.
