Value Collection C87739-1 Jobber Drill Bit 3/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87739-1 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. Built to M7 HSS material grade, it features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces the thrust needed to start a hole. The black and gold oxide coating provides surface hardness and lubricity, extending tool life in repetitive drilling operations. At 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch decimal) diameter with a 2.25-inch overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and handles the tight-clearance holes common in HVAC sheet metal, bracket fabrication, and mechanical assembly work.

This jobber drill is suited for drilling steel and cast iron in residential and commercial trade settings. Typical applications include pilot holes in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing support brackets, and structural steel components. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in keyed or keyless chucks without an adapter. The regular spiral flute clears chips efficiently in through-hole drilling on ferrous materials. This is a single-piece unit intended for professional tradespeople who need a reliable short-run or spot-use drill bit at a compact size.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling in steel and cast iron
• 135-degree split point self-centers and reduces walking on flat surfaces
• Black and gold oxide finish improves lubricity and wear resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance and heat buildup
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3/32 inch drill chucks directly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use jobber drill bit for standard 3/32 inch straight-shank drill chucks used in hand drills, drill presses, and multi-spindle fixtures rated for that shank diameter.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or qualified tradesperson should secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit walking or workpiece rotation. Use cutting fluid or a suitable lubricant when drilling ferrous materials to reduce heat and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before use and discard any bit showing chipping or blunting, as a damaged split point will not self-center reliably. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection during all drilling operations.
