• Easy Identification: Laser‑etched size markings for quick selection on the job site.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Our Short Length Wire Gauge Drills?

When precision matters, you need a drill that delivers exact dimensions every time. Our short‑length wire gauge drills reduce the distance between the chuck and the cutting tip, giving you greater control in confined spaces such as conduit bends, panel backs, and dense wiring trays. The TiN coating not only extends tool life but also reduces friction, resulting in smoother cuts and lower heat buildup.

Applications

• Electrical conduit drilling
• HVAC ductwork preparation
• Automotive wiring harness installation
• Industrial machinery maintenance
• Prototype and custom equipment building

Installation & Usage Tips

1. Secure the drill bit in the chuck, ensuring it is fully seated.
2. Mark the desired hole location with a center punch for accurate start points.
3. Set the drill to the recommended RPM range based on material thickness.
4. Apply steady pressure; let the cutting edges do the work to avoid overheating.
5. After drilling, clean the hole with a deburring tool for a smooth finish.
6. Store the drills in a dry environment; the TiN coating protects against rust.
