Why the 3-flat shank matters
The 3-flat shank design locks securely into standard drill chucks, reducing slipping under high torque.

For professional shops and serious DIYers alike, this translates to more consistent results and fewer re-drills.

Practical tips for best results
- Use steady feeds and moderate speeds suitable for metal drilling to minimize heat build-up.
- Apply a light cutting oil or coolant to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation.

- Keep the bit sharp and replace it if you notice excessive glazing or smoking, which indicates wear or overheating.
