Irwin 62124 3/8 x 12-Inch Black Oxide Twist Drill Bit, M-2 High Speed Steel

The Irwin 62124 3/8 x 12-Inch Black Oxide Twist Drill Bit is engineered for professionals who need extended reach when drilling through studs, joists, and other hard-to-access framing to run wires and cable. Machined from M-2 high speed steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black oxide coating, this twist bit delivers the strength, heat resistance, and wear resistance needed for repeated use in wood, metal, and plastic. Its aircraft-length 12-inch body and 3/8-inch diameter make it well suited for long-reach boring applications, while the 135-degree split point ensures a true, centered start and eliminates bit walking on contact.
