Drill bits – selection and workshop applications

This category includes bits for drilling metal and other materials approved by the manufacturer. Check each tool's intended use and specifications, since similar bits can differ in performance and operating requirements.

How to choose a drill bit

Compare diameter, length, shank type, tool material and suitability for steel, aluminium or other surfaces. Review the catalogue number, set contents and documentation.

Before drilling

Wear eye protection, secure the workpiece and use the correct speed. Match coolant or lubricant to the material. Follow tool and vehicle manufacturer instructions; unsuitable tools can cause damage or injury.

Comparing equipment

Look beyond the price and number of pieces. Consider compatibility, accessories, ergonomics and durability, and verify the service requirements of the vehicle concerned.
