8-piece reduced shank drill bit set
The Chicago-Latrobe 69860 set contains eight drill bits built with a 1/2-inch reduced shank design. Each bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and wear protection. The 118-degree point angle provides a standard cutting profile for general-purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or job-site environment.
Mechanics and maintenance teams needing larger holes
These bits suit professionals who need to drill diameters beyond the capacity of a standard 3/8-inch chuck while using a common 1/2-inch drill. The reduced shank allows the larger cutting diameter to fit the tool holder without a specialised chuck. Users who require a split-point tip for self-centring on hard metals or a different point angle for specialised alloys should evaluate alternative bit designs.
118-degree point angle for general drilling
The 118-degree point angle is the primary specification that determines how the bit engages the workpiece. It delivers reliable performance in mild steel, cast iron, wood and plastic where a standard point is adequate. If the application demands a flatter or steeper angle for specific materials, this geometry will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item
Which drill bit sizes are included in the 69860 set?
The set contains eight reduced shank drill bits designed for 1/2 inch capacity chucks, covering a range of larger diameters.
What does the 118 degree point angle mean for drilling performance?
The 118 degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres easily on steel and wood, offering reliable starts without a pilot hole.
How does the black oxide finish affect the bits during use?
Black oxide reduces friction and resists corrosion, helping the high speed steel bits run cooler and stay sharp longer in metal.
