Value Collection 20842 Mechanics Drill Bit 0.0935 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20842 is a mechanics-length, high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and alloy materials. The 135-degree split point geometry self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. At 0.0935 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2.25 inches, this bit is suited for tight-clearance drilling tasks where a shorter, stiffer tool is required. The oxide finish provides a degree of surface hardness and corrosion resistance. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole drilling in production and field service environments.

This drill bit is intended for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and similar rotary tooling. Its mechanics-length body makes it appropriate for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications where access is restricted and a jobber-length bit would be impractical. Rated for use in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, and stainless steel workpiece materials, it covers a broad range of common trade drilling tasks. It is sold individually and packaged for bench or tool bag use.

Key Features

• 0.0935-inch diameter with 135-degree split point for self-centering starts without a center punch
• Mechanics (stub) length at 2.25 inches overall for use in confined spaces
• High-speed steel construction handles carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, and stainless steel
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned parallel web reduces thrust and improves cutting efficiency
• Right-hand, regular spiral flutes promote consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on handheld drills and drill presses. Suitable for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill chuck and verify the chuck is fully tightened before operating. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety practices during use.
