Value Collection 10-040 Threaded Shank Drill Bit No. 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10-040 is a No. 40 threaded shank drill bit designed for precise hole-making in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The threaded shank design allows for secure chuck engagement, reducing slippage during drilling operations. At 1 pound, this bit is suitable for use with standard drill presses and handheld power drills commonly found in trade and light industrial settings. It is sold as a single unit, making it a straightforward replacement or addition to an existing bit set. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with small-diameter hole requirements will find this bit a practical shop staple.

The No. 40 size corresponds to a wire gauge drill specification, which is standard in precision machining, electrical enclosure work, sheet metal fabrication, and general maintenance applications. The threaded shank configuration is compatible with drill chucks designed to accept threaded-shank tooling, making it a reliable choice for controlled, repeatable drilling tasks in both shop and field environments.
