If you drill through stainless steel, nickel alloys, or other tough, high-tensile materials, the Drill America DWDCO21P12 #21 Cobalt Drill Bit pack is a practical way to stock up on a commonly used size. Cobalt steel tools are similar to high-speed steel, but with more cobalt for improved performance when cutting harder metals.

Each bit features a 135° split point for easier starts and a right-hand cut, spiral-fluted design that helps evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging. The gold oxide finish is typically used to identify cobalt tools, with performance similar to uncoated tools.

With a round shank, these bits fit a wide variety of toolholding systems—handy if you switch between different drills or chucks in the shop.

  • Cobalt steel construction for improved performance in harder metals like stainless steel or nickel alloys
  • Gold oxide surface treatment (performance similar to uncoated tools)
  • #21 size with 0.16-inch cutting diameter
  • 135° split point for cleaner starts
  • Right-hand cut, spiral flutes help move chips out of the cut to reduce clogging
  • Round shank works with a wide range of toolholding systems
  • Convenient 12-piece pack for replenishing frequently used bits
