Value Collection C105408 Extra Length Drill Bit 1/8 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C105408 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for applications requiring extended reach beyond what a jobber-length bit can provide. Measuring 12 inches in overall length with a 9-inch spiral flute, this bit delivers deep-hole drilling capability in metal, wood, and plastic. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. An oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. With a straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand cutting direction, this bit fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without modification.

This extra length drill bit is suited for trade and industrial applications where standard-length bits cannot reach the target depth. Common uses include drilling through structural members, deep framing, conduit routing, HVAC equipment frames, and fabrication work. It is a general-purpose tool used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and metalworkers who need consistent performance in repetitive drilling tasks. The 1/8-inch diameter and 12-inch length make it particularly useful when threading wire, cable, or tubing through confined or deep cavities.

Key Features

• 12-inch overall length for extended reach in deep-hole drilling
• 9-inch spiral flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material compatibility
• High-speed steel construction balances hardness and toughness
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves cut initiation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 1/8-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank fully into the drill chuck and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Power down and disconnect the drill from its power source before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to extend bit life and maintain point geometry. Wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards during use.
