Value Collection 01220250 Jobber Drill Bit 25/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01220250 is a left-hand jobber-length drill bit engineered for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it is suited for shops and field technicians who need a reliable cutting tool without specialty coatings. The 118-degree standard point angle provides an aggressive entry geometry appropriate for a wide range of common materials. At 25/64 inch (0.3906 inch) in diameter and 5.125 inches overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and handles typical jobber-length drilling tasks efficiently.

This drill bit is sized for applications requiring a 25/64-inch bore, commonly encountered in metalworking, mechanical assembly, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC bracket fabrication. The left-hand cutting direction makes it especially useful for removing broken fasteners and studs — a common task for service technicians working on aged equipment. The regular spiral flute with tapered web and web-thinned geometry helps clear chips efficiently during drilling operations.

Key Features

• Left-hand cutting direction aids in broken fastener and stud extraction
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common metals and materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating degradation during regrinding
• Web-thinned, tapered web geometry improves chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 25/64-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits require a drill or driver capable of reversing rotation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit walk or workpiece movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened metals to extend bit life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
