Hertel C.E96.S60A 60 Pc Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Set

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E96.S60A is a 60-piece cobalt jobber length drill bit set covering wire gauge sizes 1 through 60. Built from cobalt high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and straight shanks, these drills are engineered for heavy-duty metalworking applications where heat resistance and edge retention matter. The 135-degree split-point geometry reduces walking and allows drilling to start without a center punch on most flat surfaces. The full set stores in a metal case, keeping all 60 sizes organized and accessible on the job. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who drill into steel, stainless, cast iron, or tough alloys will find this set covers the full wire gauge range in one purchase.

This set is suited for metalworking and multipurpose drilling tasks in both residential and commercial settings. The wire gauge range from 1 to 60 makes it practical for sheet metal work, conduit knockout pilot holes, pilot drilling for taps, and precision hole sizing where fractional bits do not offer the incremental sizing needed. The cobalt construction handles the elevated heat generated when drilling harder metals without sacrificing edge life, making the set a practical choice for trade professionals who drill frequently and need consistent results across a wide range of hole sizes.

Key Features

• 60-piece set covering wire gauge sizes 1 through 60 in a single metal storage case
• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and durability in hard metals
• 135-degree split-point tip reduces bit walking and improves bite on flat stock
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or flake during high-friction drilling
• Straight shank design fits standard keyed and keyless drill chucks
• Heavy-duty performance rating suitable for stainless steel, cast iron, and tough alloys

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or upgrade for wire gauge jobber length drill bit sets used in inch-measurement metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications. Straight shanks are compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting that shank diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits should be performed by the appropriate trade professional following standard shop safety practices. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened before operating. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard metals to extend bit life, even though this set does not require through-coolant capability. Inspect bits for chipping or dulling before each use and replace individual sizes as needed to maintain hole quality.
