8-piece reduced shank drill bit set
The Chicago-Latrobe 69859 set contains eight reduced shank drill bits designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. It suits tradespeople and DIY users who need a compact selection of larger-diameter bits that fit standard 1/2-inch chucks.
118-degree point angle and high-speed steel
The bits feature a 118-degree point angle, a geometry suited to a wide range of materials but less aggressive than split-point designs for hard steels. High-speed steel construction provides standard wear resistance, while the black oxide finish adds corrosion protection and helps retain lubricant during use.
Eight-piece capacity for common large-hole tasks
With eight bits included, the set covers a practical range of reduced shank sizes for typical maintenance, fabrication and automotive jobs. It handles everyday drilling needs, though users requiring finer increments, specialised coatings or extended-length bits will need supplementary tooling.

Questions about this item
Which 8-piece reduced-shank drill set should I choose for general metal drilling?
The Chicago-Latrobe 69859 set contains eight high-speed steel bits with a 118-degree point angle and black-oxide finish, suited for general-purpose metalwork.
What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I use these bits in a drill press?
A 118-degree point is the standard geometry for drilling mild steel and similar materials; it centres easily and cuts efficiently in a drill press or hand drill.
How does the reduced shank design affect the chuck size I need?
Each bit has a reduced shank that fits a 1/2-inch chuck while the cutting diameter can be larger, letting you drill bigger holes without a larger chuck.
