It measures 0.157 inches in diameter with a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust needed to start a hole. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during operation. With an overall length of 3.125 inches and a flute length of 1.9375 inches, this bit fits the compact profile expected in tight-clearance mechanic applications. It is suited for use by machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who drill metal regularly in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is rated for use in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. The mechanics-length format keeps the bit short and rigid, reducing deflection when drilling through metal panels, brackets, enclosures, and structural members. The oxide finish provides basic lubricity and mild corrosion resistance during storage and use. It is a right-hand cut bit with regular spiral flutes and a parallel web configuration. Web thinning reduces cutting resistance at the tip, which is especially useful when working in harder steel grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.157 inch diameter with 135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length at 3.125 inches overall for use in confined spaces with reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides lubricity and basic surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tip reduces cutting resistance in harder ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock mechanics drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.
