Drill Bit Einhell 8 x 160 mm Universal WIERTŁO UNIWERSALNE

The Einhell universal drill bit WIERTŁO UNIWERSALNE with an 8 mm diameter and 160 mm length is a general-purpose accessory for handheld and stationary drills. It is designed to perform standard drilling tasks in common materials where an 8 mm hole is required. The bit features a conventional straight shank for secure chuck clamping and a length that provides extra reach for deeper drilling or working in recessed areas.

Advantages

This 8 x 160 mm drill bit offers consistent hole diameter and a long working length for increased reach. The universal geometry is suitable for a range of general drilling tasks, making it a practical choice for DIY and routine professional use. The straight shank ensures compatibility with most standard drill chucks for a stable fit during operation.

Suitable for

• Drilling 8 mm holes in common building materials compatible with universal bits
• Home DIY projects and light renovation work
• Work with handheld electric drills and stationary drill presses that accept straight shanks
• Tasks requiring extra reach or drilling into recessed areas

When it may not be suitable

The universal design is intended for general-purpose use and may not perform optimally in very hard materials such as specialist hardened steels or certain masonry types without the appropriate tip or coating. For precision tasks requiring specific drill geometries, carbide tips, or specialized coatings for high wear resistance, a dedicated drill bit type should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 160 mm
• Shank type: straight (standard round/straight shank for chuck fitting)
• Intended use: universal/general-purpose drilling

How to use

Fit the straight shank securely into the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material being drilled and apply steady, moderate pressure to allow the bit to cut without excessive force. Use cutting fluid or reduced speed where appropriate for metals, and clear chips regularly when drilling deep holes to avoid binding. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or supported to prevent movement during drilling.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that an 8 mm universal bit is suitable for the material you plan to drill
• Confirm your drill accepts straight shank bits and can accommodate the 160 mm length
• For frequent drilling in very hard materials, consider bits with specialized tips or coatings

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the material, use appropriate cooling or lubrication for metal drilling, and regularly inspect the bit for wear. Replace the bit if it becomes dull to maintain hole quality and reduce stress on the drill.
