Drill bit Makita P-16994 — 180 mm length, hex shank, 1 pc

Makita P-16994 is a single 180 mm drill bit with a hex shank designed for extended-reach drilling and stable torque transfer. The bit fits hex chucks and quick-change adapters used in many cordless and corded drills, providing accurate drilling in situations that require extra length. Delivered as one piece per pack, this bit is intended for installers, tradespeople and DIY users who need a longer working reach without sacrificing fit security.

Advantages

The hex shank ensures secure gripping and quick bit changes in compatible chucks and adapters, reducing slippage during high-torque operations. At 180 mm overall length, the bit offers additional reach for drilling into deeper cavities, recessed fixtures, or across thicker materials compared with standard-length bits. Supplied as a single item, it is straightforward to store and replace when used in tool kits or on job sites.

Suitable for

• Drilling into wood, plastic, and non-hardened materials where extra length is needed
• Work with cordless and corded drills that accept hex shank accessories
• Tasks requiring quick bit changes with hex quick-change adapters
• Reaching recessed screw positions, deep pilot holes, or through soft construction materials

Key specifications

• Length: 180 mm overall
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure chuck engagement
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack
• Compatibility: designed for drills and adapters that accept hex shanks

How to use

Fit the hex shank securely into a compatible hex chuck or quick-change adapter and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select suitable rotation speed and pressure for the material being drilled to avoid bit wandering or overheating. Withdraw the bit periodically on long holes to clear debris and reduce friction. Inspect the bit before use for damage and replace it when wear affects drilling performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed rate to the material: lower speeds for harder or thicker materials, moderate speeds for general wood and plastics. Avoid excessive lateral force to maintain bit alignment and prevent breakage.
