Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 9.8mm

Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 9.8mm, a purpose-built drilling bit engineered for both accuracy and endurance in demanding tasks. This is not a one-trick tool; it’s a reliable workhorse that expands what you can reach and accomplish with a single bit.

Extended reach, uncompromised performance — as a long series drill, it delivers added length that makes deep holes and hard-to-reach spots practical without swapping to extensions or additional tooling. The extra reach is precisely what you need for work on metal installations, automotive projects, or fabrication tasks where space is limited and precision matters.

Durable HSS core meets a resilient finish — crafted from high-speed steel, this 9.8mm drill bit balances toughness with sharp, consistent cutting. The black-coated finish isn't just stylish; it enhances corrosion resistance and reduces friction during drilling, helping maintain edge life and deliver cleaner holes over many sessions.

Versatility across common materials — ideal for moderate-hard metals like mild steel and aluminum, as well as plastics and certain soft composites. When used with proper speed and feed, this drill bit delivers steady chips, smooth entry, and predictable hole diameters, making it a solid choice for shop projects, hobbyist builds, or professional maintenance work.

Designed for everyday reliability — compatible with standard drill chucks and benchtop machines, this 9.8mm drill bit is easy to drop into your existing toolbox lineup. It’s built to resist wear, retain sharpness, and stand up to repeated use in workshop environments where accuracy and longevity are valued.

Practical tips for best results

• Center-punch your pilot point to start holes accurately and minimize wandering.
• Use appropriate speeds for the material—slower speeds for metal, with ample lubrication/ cutting fluid to reduce heat buildup.
• Keep chips clearing to prevent clogging and maintain a clean entry for each pass.
• Cool and inspect the bit after use; store in a protective case to preserve the edge for future jobs.

Whether you’re outfitting a professional workshop or rounding out a DIY toolset, the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 9.8mm offers a dependable combination of reach, durability, and versatile performance that helps you complete precise holes faster and with less tool swapping.
