Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Diablo Metal Demon 9/64 in. x 2.8 in. L Metal Drill Bit with a 3-flat shank is built for reliable metalworking performance. Designed to deliver clean, accurate holes in steel, aluminum, and other metals, this single, durable bit is a standout choice for fabricators, hobbyists, and pros who demand consistent results on every project.

Key specifications at a glance

  • Drill size: 9/64 in
  • Overall length: 2.8 in

  • Shank type: 3-flat shank
  • Material: Metal
  • Brand: Diablo

Why the 3-flat shank matters

The 3-flat shank design provides a secure, slip‑resistant grip in standard drill chucks, delivering improved torque transfer and reduced bit wandering. That means starting holes with precision, maintaining straight trajectories, and achieving cleaner cuts in tougher metals compared with round-shank alternatives.

Ideal use cases

  • Drilling holes in steel brackets, chassis components, and metal hardware
  • Fabrication work where precise hole placement is critical
  • Hobbyist projects involving aluminum panels or thin sheet metal

Performance and outcomes you can expect

With a 9/64 in diameter, this drill bit is suited for small, precise holes where clean edges and controlled chip removal matter. The 1.5 in flute length helps evacuate material efficiently, reducing heat buildup and prolonging bit life during extended metal-cutting sessions.

Practical tips for best results

  • Secure the workpiece with clamps to prevent movement and ensure holes start true.
  • Use a steady feed and moderate RPM appropriate for the metal you’re drilling; avoid high speeds that can overheat and dull the bit.
  • Apply a light cutting fluid or oil when drilling tougher metals to improve lubrication and extend bit life.
  • Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent binding.

Whether you’re outfitting a shop crate or stocking a toolbelt for on-site metalwork, the Diablo Metal Demon 9/64 in. drill bit delivers dependable performance, precise starts, and durable construction designed to handle everyday metal drilling with confidence.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
