Value Collection 01000157 Aircraft Extension Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01000157 is a 15/64 inch diameter aircraft extension drill bit designed for reaching into deep or obstructed work areas where a standard-length bit cannot access. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that is self-centering and reduces walking on entry, minimizing the need for a center punch. The spiral flute geometry and web-thinned, tapered web construction promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce cutting resistance. At 6 inches overall length with a 2.625 inch flute, it gives tradespeople extended reach without sacrificing rigidity. General-purpose performance makes it suitable across a range of metals and materials encountered in mechanical, HVAC, and electrical rough-in work.

This aircraft extension drill bit is used in applications where standard bit length is insufficient, such as drilling through structural framing, ductwork flanges, deep electrical boxes, or stacked sheet metal assemblies. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard keyed and keyless drill chucks. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard corded and cordless drills. General-purpose classification suits production and field service environments alike.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point is self-centering, reducing bit walking on smooth or curved surfaces
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust required during cutting
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for wear and corrosion resistance
• 6 inch overall length provides extended reach into confined or deep workspaces
• Spiral flute design with 2-flute configuration promotes consistent chip clearing
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard keyed and keyless drill chucks accepting a 15/64 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install and removal of drill bits should be performed with the drill powered off and unplugged or battery removed. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for rotating tool operation. Inspect the bit for cracks or wear before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.
