Value Collection C87743-12 5/32 in Hss Jobber Drill 12 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87743-12 is a 5/32-inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built to M7 HSS material grade, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires less feed pressure at the start of a cut. A black and gold oxide finish adds surface lubricity and mild corrosion resistance. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks. This is a heavy-duty grade bit suited for production environments, maintenance shops, and trade professionals who need reliable, consistent performance in a common fractional size.

This jobber drill is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics for drilling sheet metal, structural steel, aluminum, PVC, and wood substrates. The 2-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the 5/32-inch diameter. The package contains 12 bits, making it practical for shops and field crews that go through standard sizes regularly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotary cutting tools and appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning. Match spindle speed to the material being drilled — harder materials require lower RPM. Do not force the bit; allow the cutting geometry to work at the appropriate feed rate to avoid premature wear or breakage.
