Five-Piece Hex-Shank Drill Bit Set

This Drill America KFD set supplies five high-speed steel bits ranging from 1/4 in. to 1/2 in. The 1/4 in. hex shanks lock into quick-change chucks on both handheld drills and impact drivers, so the kit suits tradespeople and DIYers who swap bits frequently on job sites.

Capacity and Headroom

The 135-degree split point centres itself on contact, cutting thrust force when starting holes in stainless steel and other hard metals. The range covers common fastener pilot sizes for wood and metal, but the largest 1/2 in. bit marks the upper limit; larger diameters or deeper holes will require a separate bit.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

High-speed steel construction and the black-and-gold surface treatment dissipate heat during extended drilling in tough alloys. The split-point geometry reduces load on the drill motor, lowering vibration and audible chatter. No forced-air cooling is needed, and the bits draw only the power the host tool delivers.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/4 in. hex shank fit my existing quick-change impact driver?

Yes, the 1/4 in. hex shank is designed for standard quick-change impact drivers and the chucking slot length is a standard 3/8 in.

How can I confirm the 135 split point is self-centering correctly on stainless steel?

The bit should start on contact without walking and require less thrust; the black and gold surface treatment supports drilling in stainless and hard metals.

Which bits are included and is a case or holder supplied?

The set includes five bits sized 1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in., 7/16 in. and 1/2 in.; no case or holder is mentioned in the specifications.
