Drill bit STANLEY STA58000 6 mm x 100 mm, twist drill, 1 pc

STANLEY STA58000 is a single twist drill bit with a 6 mm diameter and 100 mm overall length. Designed with a standard cylindrical shank for use in hand drills and drill drivers, this drill bit is intended for general-purpose drilling where a 6 mm hole is required. The bit is supplied as one piece and is suitable for work in common construction and repair situations.

Advantages

The twist design provides straightforward chip removal and consistent cutting action during drilling. Its 100 mm length gives extended reach for drilling through thicker materials or into recessed areas. The 6 mm diameter provides a standard hole size commonly used for fasteners and fittings, and the single-piece supply makes it easy to keep as a spare or to carry on a small job. The bit is compatible with standard chucks on hand drills and drill drivers for simple interchangeability.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes for fasteners and dowels
• Woodworking tasks requiring a clean, controlled drill hole
• Light metalworking where a 6 mm twist drill is appropriate
• General repair and installation work on construction sites and homes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Total length: 100 mm
• Type: Twist drill bit
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Shank: standard cylindrical shank for hand drills and drivers
• Intended materials: general-purpose (including masonry as specified)

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a hand drill or drill driver, ensuring it is tightened and centered. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material being worked and, if drilling masonry, use a hammer-drill mode or the correct technique for the substrate. Apply steady pressure, allow the bit to cut without forcing, and withdraw periodically to clear chips. After use, clean debris from the flutes and store the bit in a suitable holder to protect the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed pressure to the material—lower speeds for masonry and harder metals, moderate speeds for wood. For prolonged life, avoid excessive side loading and replace the bit when wear degrades performance.
