Value Collection CDS-1/4 Spring Loaded Drill Stop

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CDS-1/4 is a spring loaded drill stop designed to control drilling depth with consistent, repeatable results. The stop collar clamps onto a 1/4 inch drill bit and uses an internal spring mechanism to hold position during use. This type of drill stop is a standard accessory in trade and light fabrication work wherever precise hole depth is required. It is lightweight at 0.04 pounds, making it easy to carry in a tool bag or pocket pouch. Machinists, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians rely on drill stops when boring into studs, panels, or fittings to avoid punching through material.

The CDS-1/4 is suited for use in residential and commercial service work where repetitive drilling to a fixed depth is needed. Typical applications include setting anchor holes, mounting electrical boxes, drilling pilot holes in light gauge metal, and similar tasks where bottoming out a bit causes damage or rework. The spring loaded design allows the stop to stay set without slipping under normal drilling loads.

Key Features

• Spring loaded collar holds position on 1/4 inch drill bits without manual re-setting between holes
• Lightweight construction at 0.04 pounds adds minimal bulk to a standard bit setup
• Controls drilling depth to reduce risk of breakthrough damage on sensitive surfaces
• Compatible with standard 1/4 inch shank drill bits used across trades
• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual replacement or add-on purchase

Compatibility

Designed as a depth-control accessory for standard 1/4 inch shank drill bits used in handheld and drill press applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drill bit is removed from the drill or that the tool is unplugged before attaching or adjusting the stop collar. Set the collar at the desired depth mark on the bit and verify the spring mechanism is engaged before drilling. A licensed tradesperson should follow applicable safety standards when operating rotary tools on energized panels or pressurized systems.
