Dewalt DW1622 Black Oxide Drill Bit 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1622 is a black oxide drill bit designed for metal drilling applications. It features a 5/8-inch cutting diameter with a reduced 3/8-inch shank, allowing it to be used in standard 3/8-inch chuck drills without requiring a larger capacity tool. The black oxide coating reduces friction and heat buildup during drilling, helping extend bit life in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This bit is a practical choice for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who regularly drill through metal enclosures, brackets, strut, and structural steel on the job.

This bit is suited for metal drilling tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include drilling through steel panels, electrical boxes, pipe hangers, and sheet metal components. It is a common tool for trade professionals who need a reliable reduced-shank bit that fits into standard drill chucks already on hand. Sold individually per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit requires seating the reduced shank securely in a 3/8-inch chuck before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured before drilling to prevent spinning or shifting. Use cutting fluid on harder metals to reduce heat and extend bit life.
