HSS Wire Gauge Drill Bit - No. 36 - Hanson

The Hanson 80136 HSS Wire Gauge Drill Bit – No. 36 is an essential tool engineered for professional technicians and mechanics who require precise, consistent pilot holes in demanding automotive and industrial environments. Constructed from high-speed steel, this professional-grade drill bit delivers exceptional durability and maintains its accurate diameter, ensuring reliable performance across a variety of materials and continuous use.

Key Features

• High-Speed Steel Durability: Crafted from robust High-Speed Steel (HSS), this drill bit resists heat and wear, providing extended tool life and consistent cutting performance across common materials such as carbon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, hardwoods, and various plastics.
• Precision No. 36 Wire Gauge: Engineered to deliver the exact diameter required for critical pilot holes, making it ideal for accurate tapping of small machine screws, secure mounting of sensor brackets, and precise installation of electrical hardware.
• Stable & Accurate Drilling Geometry: Optimized flute and tip geometry minimize bit wandering and 'walking,' ensuring the creation of straight, clean holes essential for maintaining tight tolerances in thin sheet metal, brackets, and panels.
• Professional-Grade Performance: Designed for rigorous use in general automotive repair, light truck service, custom fabrication, and light industrial maintenance tasks that demand accurate, smaller diameter holes.
• Efficient Chip Evacuation: The flute design promotes controlled feed rates and effective chip removal, reducing strain on drilling equipment and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Applications

This No. 36 HSS drill bit is ideal for preparing pilot holes for small fasteners in critical components like sensor mounts, relay panels, brackets, and electrical enclosures. It excels in creating clearance and mounting holes in sheet metal, chassis tabs, light brackets, and instrument panels on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and a wide range of industrial equipment. Its consistent hole size makes it particularly effective for repetitive work, including custom panel building, harness routing modifications, and routine repair and maintenance tasks.
