Irwin IR60505 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 5/64 Inch 118 Degree

Product Description

The IRWIN IR60505 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It features a 118-degree standard point angle for fast penetration and easy starting on flat surfaces. The 5/64 inch diameter and straight shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. At 2 inches overall length with a 1 inch flute, this bit suits tight-clearance drilling tasks on assemblies, sheet metal, and structural components. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for jobber-length bits as the everyday go-to for pilot holes and through-hole work.

This bit is sized for light-duty drilling where precision hole placement matters. The 5/64 inch diameter is commonly used for pilot holes ahead of self-tapping screws, small fasteners, and wire-routing penetrations in sheet metal or thin stock. Its compact 2 inch overall length makes it practical in tight spaces encountered in panel work, equipment enclosures, and mechanical rooms. Sold individually, it fits standard 3-jaw keyless and keyed chucks on corded and cordless drills.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only with the drill unplugged or the battery pack removed. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before drilling to prevent slippage.
