The Diablo DSD0500S06 Impact Strong™ Step Drill Bit is the definitive high-performance solution for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors who demand speed and accuracy. Featuring a revolutionary 132° Split Point Tip, this bit eliminates the need for pre-drilling by providing an aggressive, on-point start that prevents "walking" on smooth surfaces. Whether you are drilling through thin sheet metal, stainless steel, or PVC, this bit is engineered to deliver up to 6X longer life than standard bits, making it a rugged essential for your heavy-duty tool kit.

Precision-engineered with an automated CNC grinding process, each of the 6 steps is held to strict tolerances to ensure 2X faster cuts and minimal tool wear. The optimized dual flute design guarantees jam-free operation and rapid chip evacuation, which is critical for maintaining high speeds in cordless high-speed modes. With laser-etched markings for easy size identification and a 1/4-inch hex shank that is Impact Ready, this bit maximizes power transfer and efficiency, allowing for up to 75% more holes per battery charge.

Pro-Tip: When drilling through stainless steel or thicker mild metals, use a small amount of cutting fluid or thread oil to lubricate the bit. This reduces friction and heat buildup, which not only keeps your steps sharp for a longer period but also prevents the metal from hardening around the hole, ensuring a much smoother finish.
