Value Collection 1035N132 Reduced Shank Drill Bit 0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1035N132 is a reduced shank twist drill bit designed for drilling through metal, wood, and plastic in a wide range of trade and shop applications. The bit measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a straight cylindrical shank, allowing it to seat securely in standard drill chucks even when the shank diameter is smaller than the cutting diameter. The 4.5-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance during deeper boring operations. At 0.22 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool suited for both bench-top drill presses and handheld power drills.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where a half-inch bore is required. The reduced shank design is particularly useful when a standard drill chuck cannot accept a full-size shank at this diameter, making it a practical option for field technicians and shop workers who need a 0.5-inch cutting diameter without requiring a specialized chuck. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch cutting diameter for standard half-inch bore applications
• Straight cylindrical reduced shank seats in most conventional three-jaw drill chucks
• 4.5-inch flute length supports chip evacuation in deeper cuts
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds for extended handheld use
• Single-piece construction with no moving parts or inserts

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld power drills and bench-top drill presses accepting a straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or licensed trade professionals using a compatible power drill or drill press. Secure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck and verify the bit is centered before beginning. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Follow applicable workplace safety guidelines for rotating tool operation.
