Metal drill bits KREATOR HEX HSS 3.0 x 82 mm, set of 2

Set of two KREATOR HEX HSS metal drill bits, diameter 3.0 mm and overall length 82 mm, designed for drilling metal. Each bit features a HEX shank to ensure secure grip in chucks and quick-change holders. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability and wear resistance during general metalworking and repair tasks; suitable for use with hand drills and drill drivers that accept HEX shanks.

Advantages

The HSS material provides reliable hardness and heat resistance for repeated drilling through steel and other common metals. The HEX shank reduces slippage in the drill chuck or quick-change adapter, improving torque transfer and control. Supplied as a matched pair, the set gives a spare or replacement bit on hand and allows working with two tools or stages without interruption.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild steel, sheet metal and metal profiles
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and garages
• Use with cordless and corded hand drills and drill drivers that accept HEX shanks
• Fabrication and light metalworking projects

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3.0 mm
• Overall length: 82 mm
• Shank type: HEX
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Pack quantity: 2 drill bits

How to use

Clamp the HEX shank securely in a compatible drill chuck or quick-change holder. Use appropriate cutting speed and feed for the metal being drilled to reduce heat build-up; apply cutting fluid when drilling thicker or harder metals to extend tool life. Start with a pilot mark or centre punch on thin or sheet materials to prevent walking, and drill with steady pressure until the hole is complete. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best life and hole quality, select drill speeds lower than for wood, use cutting fluid on steel, and avoid excessive pressure that can cause premature wear or breakage of the 3.0 mm HSS cutting edge.
