Metallics HSD5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSD5 pack, and what size are they?
The Metallics HSD5 is a 10-piece pouch of 1/8 inch high speed twist drills, each 2-3/4 inches overall. All ten bits are the same size, so it's a bulk refill pack of one diameter rather than an assortment set. That suits crews burning through pilot-hole bits, where a snapped 1/8 inch bit shouldn't stop the job.
2) Will a 1/8 inch high speed steel twist drill cut through steel, or do I need cobalt or carbide?
High speed steel is the right pick for mild steel plate, aluminum sheet, and electrical component drilling, which is what these 1/8 inch bits are built for. HSS holds its edge under the heat that would blue a carbon steel bit. Where it stops: hardened steel, stainless, and masonry or concrete. For anchor holes in concrete you need a masonry bit, not these. Run them slow in steel and use cutting fluid on the harder stuff.
3) Do these Metallics twist drills fit a standard cordless drill chuck?
Yes. The 1/8 inch shank drops straight into any standard keyless or keyed chuck on a cordless or corded drill, no adapter needed. Seat it fully and tighten hard so it doesn't spin in the jaws under load.
4) How deep a hole can I actually drill with a 2-3/4 inch bit?
Overall length is 2-3/4 inches, and part of that sits in the chuck, so usable depth is the fluted portion that clears the jaws. It's sized for sheet metal, strut, panel backs, and junction box mounting, not for boring through framing lumber or thick built-up assemblies. If you need to reach past a couple of inches, you want a longer aircraft-length or extension bit instead.
5) Is a 1/8 inch bit the right pilot size for self-tapping screws on electrical brackets?
The HSD5 bits are intended for pilot holes ahead of self-tapping screws, anchor installs, and structural fastening, and 1/8 inch is a common pilot for small sheet metal and self-tapping screws. Check the screw manufacturer's pilot chart for your specific fastener and gauge, since pilot size shifts with screw diameter and material thickness.
6) What's the exact part number to reorder these Metallics drill bits?
Order Metallics part number HSD5. That number covers the 10-piece pouch of 1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch high speed twist drills, so one line item gets the whole pouch rather than a single bit.
7) Is this packaged in a case or a pouch for the truck?
It ships in a pouch, not a rigid index case. The soft pouch keeps the ten 1/8 inch bits together in a tool bag or a van drawer, but it won't protect tips the way an indexed case will. If you want a hard case, pick up a separate index and load these into the 1/8 inch slot as refills.
