13/32" Cobalt Straight Shank Drill Bit - Hanson

The Hanson 63126 13/32" Cobalt Straight Shank Drill Bit is engineered for professional technicians who frequently work with challenging materials such as stainless steel, hardened fasteners, and high-tensile steels. Its premium cobalt high-speed steel construction is designed to maintain edge hardness under intense heat and load, ensuring consistent, accurate holes across various automotive, industrial, and MRO applications.

Key Features

• Cobalt HSS Construction: Built with cobalt high-speed steel, this drill bit withstands higher drilling temperatures than standard HSS, making it highly effective for cutting through stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened alloys commonly found on late-model vehicles and heavy equipment.
• Precision-Ground Flutes: The optimized flute design facilitates efficient chip evacuation, which is crucial for controlling heat, reducing chatter, and minimizing work hardening on tough materials.
• Standard Straight Shank: Featuring a 13/32" diameter with a straight shank, this bit offers broad compatibility with most handheld drills, drill presses, and fixture setups in professional shop environments.
• 135° Split Point Cutting Geometry: Delivers clean, true holes with reduced walking and easier penetration, essential for critical tasks such as bolt hole repair, bracket fabrication, fixture building, and precision rework.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Designed for repeated use on demanding components like exhaust hardware, suspension brackets, and high-strength fasteners in automotive, fleet, and industrial maintenance. This bit is part of the trusted Hanson cobalt family, often considered by technicians alongside options like the #31 drill bit hanson cobalt for a comprehensive toolset.

Applications

This drill bit is ideal for drilling into exhaust manifold and flange hardware, suspension components, frame and crossmember structures, engine and transmission brackets, and other hardened or stainless fasteners on passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty equipment. It is also well-suited for fabrication work, custom bracket creation, equipment repair, and general maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) tasks in professional automotive, industrial, and fleet shops.
