DEWALT HSS-G High Performance Drill Bit 118 Degree Point Angle 8.5mm DEWDT5220-QZ

Description

High-Performance Drilling for Demanding Trade Work

The DEWALT HSS-G High Performance Drill Bit 118 Degree Point Angle 8.5mm (DEWDT5220-QZ) is built for electricians and contractors who need clean, accurate holes without slowing down on site. Manufactured from high-performance high-speed steel (HSS) to DIN 388 standards, this drill bit is designed to deliver consistent cutting performance across repeated use.

Its precision-ground 118° point angle and right-hand cutting Type N flute help ensure fast penetration and reduced walking on the surface, improving control during stationary drilling in steel and other metals. The ground spiral groove from solid stock enhances chip removal, helping maintain drilling speed and reducing heat build-up during continuous work.

For trades working under tight deadlines, this means smoother operation, fewer interruptions, and better overall drilling efficiency on every job.

Built for Reliability, Accuracy, and Material Compliance

When working across steel, cast iron, alloyed and non-alloyed materials, brass, nickel, and more, consistency matters. This DEWALT HSS-G drill bit is precision ground for excellent concentricity and diameter tolerance to H8, helping ensure accurate hole sizing and repeatable results across installations.

For licensed electricians and contractors, accuracy is not optional—it reduces rework, improves fitment of fixings and hardware, and supports compliance-driven installations. Whether working on switchboard installations, metal enclosures, or general site fabrication tasks, this drill bit helps maintain professional-grade results.

Built with durability in mind, the high-speed steel construction extends tool life, reducing frequent replacements and helping maintain productivity across multiple projects. It’s a dependable choice for trades who value consistency and reduced downtime on site.

Trade-Focused Efficiency for Faster Job Completion

Designed with professional workflows in mind, the DEWALT HSS-G 8.5mm drill bit supports efficient drilling in both workshop and site environments. Its optimized geometry allows faster drilling speeds while maintaining control, helping electricians and contractors complete repetitive drilling tasks more efficiently.

For small to medium electrical contracting teams managing multiple jobs at once, tool reliability directly impacts project timelines. This drill bit helps reduce delays caused by tool failure or inconsistent cutting performance, supporting smoother job execution from rough-in through to final fit-off.

When paired with fast procurement and reliable trade supply chains, it becomes a practical consumable for maintaining workflow continuity across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
