Import 22359 5/32 Inch Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The IMPORT 22359 is a jobber-length drill bit sized at 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch decimal) designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Constructed from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web design reduce entry force and improve chip ejection. With a 3-1/8-inch overall length and 2-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks used daily by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades on the job site or in the shop.

This bit is suited for light- to medium-duty drilling tasks in residential and commercial trade work. Common applications include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, running conduit or pipe hangers, and general sheet metal or structural work. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks. The regular spiral flute geometry handles a wide range of materials without specialized setup. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units, making it appropriate for stocking in a service van or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully released. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent walking. Disposal of worn high speed steel bits should follow local metal recycling guidelines.
