Eagle Cutting Tool LHJ100-032-I Left-hand Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL LHJ100-032-I is a left-hand high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit in a 1/2-inch diameter. Left-hand bits cut in the counterclockwise direction, making them the standard choice for removing broken bolts, extracting damaged fasteners, and reversing out stuck screws without additional extraction tooling. The jobber-length body provides a balanced reach-to-rigidity ratio suited for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. At 1.2 pounds, this bit is sized for use in standard drill chucks and reversible power tools. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals keep left-hand bits on hand for fastener extraction work in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service applications.

This bit is suited for drilling into metals, plastics, and wood composites where a left-hand rotation is required. Typical use cases include extracting rounded-off or sheared fasteners encountered during equipment teardowns and mechanical repairs. The 1/2-inch diameter fits standard 1/2-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks commonly found on reversible corded and cordless drills. It is appropriate for shop use, field service work, and maintenance environments where broken fastener removal is a recurring task.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits require a reversible drill set to counterclockwise rotation before use. Always secure the workpiece and wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Confirm the drill chuck is properly tightened to the bit shank before operation to prevent slippage. Consult applicable workplace safety standards for metalworking and fastener extraction procedures.
