The shortened shank and flute length give tradespeople better control and reduced flex when working in confined areas such as wall cavities, junction boxes, and mechanical chases. High speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for repetitive drilling through wood, light metal, and composite materials. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers reach for stubby bits when clearance is limited and a right-angle drill or compact tool is in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where access constraints are common. Typical applications include drilling through framing, electrical boxes, plumbing rough-in locations, and HVAC mounting points in confined spaces. The 3\/8-inch diameter makes it a commonly specified size for conduit knockout pilots, anchor bolt holes, and general fastener clearance holes encountered in day-to-day trade installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStubby length for use in tight, restricted-access work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch diameter for common trade drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced flex compared to standard-length bits in compact drill applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard 3\/8-inch and 1\/2-inch chuck drills and right-angle drill attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8-inch and 1\/2-inch drill chucks.

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before drilling to prevent slippage. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection at all times during drilling operations per standard jobsite safety requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STEWART FASTENER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1705-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STEWART FASTENER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346573820210,"sku":"1705-3\/8","price":31.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552395.jpg?v=1782084134","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/stewart-fastener-1705-3-8-stubby-hss-drill-bit-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
