Klein Tools 53100 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes do Klein Tools 118-degree high speed drill bits come in?
Klein's 118-degree jobber length HSS bits run in 1/64-inch steps through most of the range: 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 11/64, 3/16, 13/64, 7/32, 15/64, 1/4, 17/64, 9/32, 5/16 and 21/64 inch. Each diameter is its own part number, 53100 through 53117 (there is no 53115 in the run).
2) How deep can I drill with the 13/64-inch Klein 53109 bit?
The 53109 has a 2-7/16 inch flute length on a 3-5/8 inch overall length, so usable cutting depth is the flute: about 2-7/16 inches before the shank bottoms out. For anything deeper you need an aircraft-length or extension bit, not a jobber bit.
3) Will these Klein drill bits work in a standard cordless drill chuck?
Yes. These are straight-shank jobber length bits, and every size tops out at 21/64 inch, so they all fit inside the 3/8-inch capacity of a typical keyless drill chuck with room to spare. No adapter or hex shank needed.
4) What is the point angle on these bits, and what material is it meant for?
They are ground to a 118-degree point, which is the general-purpose angle for drilling mild steel, aluminum, brass and wood. The bits are high speed steel with a black-oxide finish that cuts down on chip welding when you are working metal.
5) Can I use these bits on live circuits or in an electrical panel that is energized?
No. These are plain steel bits with no insulation. Klein states directly that they must never be used on or near live electrical circuits. De-energize and verify the panel first, and wear approved eye protection.
6) Which bit size do I pick to drill a pilot hole for a 1/4-20 tap?
13/64 inch is the standard tap drill for 1/4-20 threads, and that is Klein part 53109. If you are drilling clearance rather than tapping, step up to the 1/4-inch bit, part 53112.
7) Are these Klein high speed drill bits made in the USA?
Yes, the 118-degree jobber length HSS bits are made in the USA, which matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a public job.
8) Do these bits come as a set or individually?
Each diameter is ordered on its own part number, from 53100 at 1/16 inch through 53117 at 21/64 inch, so you buy only the sizes you actually consume. That suits an MRO crib restocking the two or three sizes that run out rather than replacing a whole index.
9) Why does the surface of the Klein bit look dull instead of polished?
That is intentional. The flutes carry a lightly roughened surface, which gives higher lubricity so chips clear the hole more easily instead of packing in. Combined with the black-oxide finish it reduces chip welding on steel.
