Precision Ground Drill Bit Set 135C Split Point For Auto Repair Stainless
13-Pc M35 Cobalt Drill Bit Kit — Precision-Ground, 135° Split Point, Auto Repair / Stainless / Metal
Designed for real shop workloads, this 13-piece M35 cobalt HSS (≈5% Co) kit combines a 135° split-point with precision-ground flutes to start fast, drill true, and last longer in stainless, carbon & alloy steels, and cast iron. Jobber-length, round-shank bits fit any 3-jaw chuck (corded, cordless, drill press). A compact metal index case keeps sizes organized for grab-and-go efficiency in the bay or on the road.
Why technicians choose it (merged highlights)
Built for tough metals: M35 cobalt maintains hot-hardness in 304/316 stainless, carbon & alloy steels; fewer change-outs, cleaner holes.
Fast, clean starts: 135° split point is self-centering, resists walking on curved/painted panels, and lowers thrust at breakthrough.
Run true, evacuate chips: Precision-ground flutes improve concentricity and chip flow for rounder holes and better finishes.
Shop-friendly set map: 13 essential inch sizes cover common pilot/clearance/tap-drill prep used across brakes, body & under-hood jobs.
Ready for daily use: Jobber length, round shank, and a labeled steel index box speed selection, storage, and inventory.

FAQ
Will these drill stainless reliably?
Yes—M35 cobalt + 135° split point are engineered for stainless. Use lower RPM, cutting oil, and peck cycles.
Impact-driver compatible?
Round shank bits are for 3-jaw chucks. Hex-shank cobalt variants available on request.
Can I get tap-drill or metric-specific maps?
Absolutely—OEM assortments tailored to common automotive tap sizes or metric ranges are available.
Can they be resharpened?
Yes. Regrind while keeping the split-point geometry; M35 grinds cleanly and holds an edge.
