Drill bit pack AWTools AW41382 — 10 pcs, metal/wood/general-purpose bits

AWTools AW41382 — pack of 10 general-purpose drill bits made of HSS high-speed steel, precision ground and supplied as a compact set for workshop, construction and DIY tasks. The cylindrical shank design allows quick clamping in standard drill chucks and the longer fluted length provides extended reach for drilling deeper holes. These bits are manufactured to DIN 338 dimensional standards and are suitable for working with a range of common materials depending on bit geometry, including alloyed and unalloyed steel, gray cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics. The pack contains 10 pieces with a total weight of approximately 35 g, making it a convenient set of replacement or spare bits for professional and home use.

Advantages

The HSS high-speed steel construction offers wear resistance and heat tolerance for sustained drilling. Precision ground flutes ensure consistent cutting performance and roundness across the set. Cylindrical shanks enable quick and secure clamping in most drill chucks without adapters. Compliance with DIN 338 provides predictable dimensions and compatibility with standard drill holders. The lightweight, 10‑piece pack is easy to store and transport between job sites or for household projects.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood for joinery and fittings
• Drilling through mild and alloyed steels for metal fabrication and repairs
• Creating holes in plastics for assemblies and cable routing
• General workshop and maintenance tasks requiring a small set of spare bits

How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit size for the required hole and firmly insert the cylindrical shank into the drill chuck, tightening the chuck to secure the bit. Set the drill speed and feed according to the workpiece material—lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics—use cutting lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Align the bit perpendicular to the work surface and apply steady pressure; withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and prevent clogging. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in a protective case to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metals, use appropriate cutting fluid, moderate feed rates and reduced speeds to minimize heat buildup. When drilling plastics, use higher speeds with gentle feed to avoid melting. Regularly inspect bits for wear and replace if the cutting edges become dull or damaged to maintain drilling accuracy and safety.
