ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM CORE STRENGTH AND SIDE-LOAD RESISTANCE
Standard drill bits often fail at the core when subjected to the high-torque demands of modern portable drills, but the Thunderbolt® series is engineered to solve this mechanical bottleneck. By utilizing a thicker web than traditional jobber bits, this bit provides the structural integrity required to resist side-load breakage during deep-hole drilling. The 135-degree split point is a critical feature for professional accuracy, as it prevents the bit from walking on curved or hard surfaces, allowing for immediate penetration. Combined with a parabolic flute that accelerates chip evacuation to manage thermal buildup, this bit maintains its cutting edge longer, providing a significantly higher return on investment for high-volume metal and wood applications.
- / THUNDERBOLT® Web Geometry: Designed with a reinforced thicker core to provide ultimate strength and protect against snapping under heavy side-loads.
- / 135° Split Point Tip: Starts on contact to prevent walking and delivers fast, accurate holes without the need for a center punch.
- / Parabolic Flute Form: Clears chips and debris rapidly to keep the bit cool and maintain cutting efficiency in deep-hole applications.
- / 3-Flat Secure-Grip™ Shank: Engineered with three flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in the chuck, ensuring maximum torque transfer.
- / Black Oxide Coating: Provides essential lubricity to reduce friction and resists corrosion for extended tool life in harsh environments.
