Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-226-I Z Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-226-I is a Z-size high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Jobber-length drills offer a balanced combination of reach and rigidity, making them a standard choice across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades wherever a reliable twist drill is needed. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-piece cutting tool suited for handheld drill drivers, drill presses, and bench setups. The HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for everyday production drilling tasks.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service environments. Trades commonly reach for a Z-size jobber drill when creating pilot holes, clearance holes, or through-holes in sheet metal, conduit, pipe flanges, structural steel, and similar materials. Import-grade HSS bits at this size are a practical option for high-turnover applications where bit replacement is routine.
