Klein Tools 4.77 in. L High Speed Steel Step Drill Bit Hex Shank is built for precision and efficiency, delivering clean, progressively larger holes in metal and plastic with a single bit. With an overall length of 4.77 inches, this bit reaches into tight spaces and through panels where multiple hole sizes are needed without swapping bits.
Designed to reduce downtime and upgrades in your workflow, the stepped geometry lets you enlargen holes smoothly from a small pilot to larger diameters in one pass. The result is accurate hole sizes, fewer burrs, and a faster drilling process—ideal for electricians, metalworkers, and DIY enthusiasts who value reliability and speed.
