Eagle Cutting Tool LHJ100-024-I Left-hand Hss Jobber Drill 3/8

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL LHJ100-024-I is a 3/8-inch left-hand high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for reverse-rotation drilling applications. Left-hand bits are the standard tool of choice when extracting broken fasteners, backing out damaged screws, or drilling pilot holes where conventional right-hand rotation is counterproductive. The HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for general-purpose metal, wood, and plastic drilling across trade and light industrial work. At 1.2 pounds, this is a solid, production-grade bit suited for daily shop or field use.

This bit is used across a wide range of trade applications wherever left-hand rotation is required. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors commonly reach for left-hand drill bits when removing stripped or seized fasteners from equipment panels, pipe flanges, and enclosures. The jobber-length geometry offers a practical balance of reach and rigidity, making it suitable for use in standard drill chucks, magnetic drill presses, and reversible hand drills in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• Left-hand flute and point geometry for reverse-rotation drilling and fastener extraction
• 3/8-inch diameter for common fastener and pilot-hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and heat resistance
• Jobber-length body balances reach with rigidity in standard chucks
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose left-hand HSS jobber drill bit compatible with any standard 3/8-inch or larger drill chuck that accepts round-shank bits.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits require a reversible drill or driver set to reverse rotation before use. Ensure the workpiece is secured and the drill is set to the correct RPM range for the material being drilled. When using for fastener extraction, center-punch the fastener head before drilling to prevent bit walking. Standard PPE including eye protection is required when drilling metal.
