The Onsite+ Step Tip Reduced Shank Drill Bit is perfect for metalworkers, fabricators or anyone using a power drill or drill press.
These bits are an Australian first, designed to drill hundreds of holes in half the time.
With the revolutionary step tip design, this drill bit effortlessly glides through materials, greatly reducing user fatigue and cutting down drilling time.
This drill bit features a patented step tip to reduce heat buildup, preventing jamming and extending sharpness. A black oxide treatment enhances lubricant hold, improves heat dissipation, and ensures smooth chip flow. It creates perfectly centred, burr-free holes and has a 12.7mm non-slip 3-flat shank for maximum control.
Teaming up with some seasoned tradies, Scott and Monique from Barry’s Metalworks, we compared two reduced shank drill bits: a standard market model and our new Onsite+ Step Tip Reduced Shank Drill Bit.
“My wife, Monique, is the drill press operator, and she will sing from the hilltops if you can reduce her time spent drilling,” Scott said.
The standard reduced shank drill bit took 1 minute and 20 seconds to drill one hole. Multiply that across all 600 holes, and you’re looking at an average of 13 hours and 20 minutes. And that doesn’t account for user fatigue, drill wear, or burnout, which could further increase the time.
With our Onsite+ Step Tip Reduced Shank Drill Bit, one hole took 30 seconds—a 50-second time difference. That brings the job down to an average of 5 hours for all 600 holes, cutting it to just over half a day of work.
That’s an 8-hour and 20-minute time-saving—a FULL DAY of work saved.
“Much better, so much faster and way easier to drill,” Scott said.
“You are onto a winner here—this drill bit is AWESOME!”
