13/32" Fractional 3/8" Reduced Shank Jobber Length Drill Bit - Hanson

The Hanson 73826 13/32" Fractional 3/8" Reduced Shank Jobber Length Drill Bit is engineered for precise metal drilling in demanding professional automotive and industrial environments. This high-speed steel drill bit allows technicians to achieve a precise 13/32" bore using a standard 3/8" drill chuck, providing a practical solution for specific drilling requirements without needing a larger chuck.

Key Features

• High-Performance Metal Drilling: Designed for robust and consistent performance across various metals, making it suitable for portable drill users and effective on curved surfaces.
• TURBOMAX Tip Design: Features a self-centering tip that ensures clean entry, fast starts, and enhanced longevity, contributing to improved drilling speed.
• Durable High-Speed Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-speed steel with a black body and gold flute finish, ensuring prolonged sharpness and resistance to wear under professional use.
• Reduced Shank Versatility: The 13/32" cutting diameter transitions to a 3/8" reduced shank, offering essential compatibility for professionals who require a precise 13/32" hole but are limited to a 3/8" drill chuck. This design effectively addresses the need for a 13/32 to 3/8 adaptation.
• Enhanced Chuck Grip: A three-flatted shank, present on sizes 3/16" and above, provides a secure grip within the drill chuck, preventing slippage during high-torque operations and ensuring stable drilling.

Applications

This jobber length drill bit is essential for professional mechanics and industrial technicians performing tasks such as fabricating custom parts, repairing machinery, or drilling precise holes in metal components. Its utility spans automotive chassis work, engine modifications, and general maintenance, particularly when a precise 13/32" diameter is critical. It helps clarify the practical distinctions between 13/32 vs 3/8 applications when existing tool setups dictate chuck size.
