Metallics HSST3 Bit 3/32" Titanium Jobber Drill 13

Jobber length, like the Metallics HSST3, is the general purpose length and what most tradespeople keep in the kit: long enough to clear a bracket or plate, short enough to stay reasonably stiff in a 3/32 inch diameter. If you are working in a tight panel or stud bay where the chuck will not clear, a screw machine (stub) length bit is the better pick. If you need to reach through deep framing or behind a wall, an aircraft or extension length bit is what you want instead.

The HSST3 is a titanium coated bit. The coating is a surface treatment over the bit, and what it buys you is a harder, lower friction cutting edge that holds up longer and runs cooler than a plain uncoated high speed steel bit in metal. It does not change the 3/32 inch cutting diameter. Keep in mind the coating is only on the surface, so once you regrind the point you lose it at the cutting edge.

Order it as Metallics HSST3. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 3/32 inch titanium jobber length drill bit, and it is the number to quote if you are matching an existing line item or standardizing a bit index across crews.
