Hertel 85703411 Jobber Drill Bit 5/32 Inch Hss 118 Degree

Product Description

The HERTEL 85703411 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit delivers consistent performance across a wide range of shop and field applications. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank sized at 5/32 inches. The overall length is 3-1/8 inches, with a 2-inch flute length. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry resistance and improves chip clearance during drilling.

This bit is suited for maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable general-purpose drill bit for everyday hole-making tasks. At 5/32-inch diameter (0.1562 inches decimal), it fits common drilling needs such as pilot holes for sheet metal fasteners, conduit mounting hardware, and bracket installation. The regular spiral flute and standard point make it compatible with conventional handheld drills and drill presses. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 12 units.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by trade professionals and general technicians using standard 3-jaw chucks on corded or cordless drills and drill presses. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling through ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edge for wear before each use and replace if the point shows chipping or heat discoloration.
