Itm 255h18 Metal Drill Bit 9/32 Inch Hex Shank

Product Description

The ITM 255h18 is an M2 high-speed steel drill bit designed for use with impact drivers and drills in metal drilling applications. Built with a hex shank for positive bit retention in impact-ready chucks, it delivers consistent performance when drilling through ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 9/32-inch diameter and 4.25-inch overall length make it suitable for a wide range of fastening and fabrication tasks encountered by tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work.

This drill bit is used in residential and commercial trade applications where metal drilling is required with impact driver tooling. It is particularly useful in situations where a standard round-shank bit would slip in a quick-change chuck. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers commonly reach for impact-rated bits like this when working with metal bracket systems, ductwork, conduit supports, and structural steel components.

Key Features

• M2 high-speed steel construction for durability in metal drilling applications
• Hex shank design provides positive retention in impact driver chucks
• 9/32-inch diameter suits common pilot and clearance hole requirements
• Impact-rated for use with rotary impact drivers and drills
• 4.25-inch overall length allows reach in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with impact drivers and impact drills equipped with standard 1/4-inch hex quick-change chucks. Suitable for drilling metal, including ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Install the hex shank fully into the quick-change chuck before operation to ensure secure bit seating. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal, as chips and fragments are a hazard. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling thick or hardened metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured before drilling to prevent movement.
