What sets the Metal Demon apart
The 3-flat shank design eliminates wobble and minimizes bit slipping under high torque, delivering truer hole placement and less chatter compared with traditional round-shank bits. The stainless steel body thrives in metalwork environments, resisting rust and heat for longer life on tough drilling tasks. This bit is purpose-built for metal, providing consistent performance across steel, stainless, and aluminum workpieces.
Ideal use cases
- Automotive, fabrication, and repair projects requiring clean, precise 13/32" holes
- Deep-hole drilling in metal panels or structural components thanks to the 5.2" overall length
- DIY metal projects where dependable bite and durability matter
Practical tips for best results
Enhance longevity and cut quality by applying cutting oil or a light lubricant. Secure your workpiece with clamps to prevent movement, and start with a centered pilot if needed to guide the bit. Use moderate feed pressure and slower speeds suitable for metal drilling to reduce heat buildup and extend edge life.
