Eagle Cutting Tool LHJ100-023-I Left Hand Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL LHJ100-023-I is a 23/64-inch left-hand high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for reverse-rotation drilling applications. Left-hand drill bits rotate counterclockwise, making them the standard choice for extracting broken fasteners, removing stripped screws, and backing out damaged bolts without additional extraction tools. The HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for drilling through steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials encountered in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. Machinists, mechanics, and trade professionals keep left-hand bits on hand for broken-fastener removal tasks where standard right-hand bits are not suitable.

This bit is sized at 23/64 inch, a fractional size commonly used when working with medium-to-large fasteners and threaded stock. It fits standard drill chucks and is suited for bench drill presses, hand drills, and reversible drill/driver units capable of counterclockwise operation. Typical applications include fastener extraction in automotive, industrial maintenance, and field service settings where broken or seized hardware must be removed without damaging the surrounding threads or base material.

Key Features

• Left-hand (counterclockwise) cutting geometry for broken fastener extraction and reverse-rotation drilling
• 23/64-inch fractional diameter for medium-to-large fastener removal work
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and heat resistance across common metals
• Jobber length for balance between reach and rigidity in standard drill chucks
• Compatible with any reversible drill or drill press capable of counterclockwise rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style left-hand jobber drill bit suitable for use in any standard reversible drill chuck accepting 23/64-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits must be used in a drill set to counterclockwise (reverse) rotation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Center-punch the target fastener before starting the bit to prevent walking. Use cutting fluid when drilling hardened or stainless steel to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup.
