Value Collection 01220078 Left Hand Jobber Drill 7/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01220078 is a left-hand jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. It measures 7/64 inches (0.1094 inches decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 2-5/8 inches and a flute length of 1-1/2 inches. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree point angle. The straight cylindrical shank and regular spiral flute geometry make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Left-hand cutting direction makes it particularly useful for removing broken fasteners and studs that have seized in place.

This bit is suited for maintenance, repair, and operations work where left-hand rotation is required to back out damaged or broken bolts. It is a common tool in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work where broken machine screws and sheet-metal fasteners are encountered. The general-purpose grade and compact jobber length allow use in cordless drills, drill presses, and reversible hand drills in tight service spaces.

Key Features

• Left-hand cutting direction for reverse-rotation drilling and broken fastener extraction
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across common materials
• High-speed steel construction for durability in metal and wood drilling
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerance
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose left-hand jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 7/64-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits require a reversible drill or drill press set to counterclockwise rotation. Ensure the workpiece is firmly secured before drilling to prevent movement during chip extraction. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel to extend bit life. Wear eye protection at all times when drilling.
