Chicago-Latrobe 69859 8-piece reduced shank drill bit set

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.
