Suitable for application with steel, wood, plastic or aluminium, Klein Tools Inc, a US-based manufacturer of tools designed specifically for industry professionals worldwide, is offering two premium step drill bit kits for use on jobsites.

Available in two versions – the premium electrician’s quick release step bit set and the premium electrician’s ⅜ inch hex step bit set – the drill bits all feature a coating with an aluminium titanium nitride that, the company highlights, makes them up to 10 times more durable than steamed black oxide coatings.

Laser markings are also imprinted on the bits making them easier to read for fast size identification on the jobsite. As well as this, the bits come equipped in a compact, modular case designed to fit neatly within MODbox™ toolboxes and the MODbox™ case adapter side rail attachment. 

In the quick release kit, an impact rated shaft allows for the use of impact drivers and standard drills with the bits. A double spiral flute removes chips, enabling faster cuts and drilling. Additionally, the quick release ¼ inch hex shank provides a firm grip that prevents spin out in the drill. The hex step kit offers a double straight flute design for cleaner cuts and drilling, while the durable 38 inch hex shank provides a firm hold that prevents spin out in the drill. 

“Klein Tools constantly looks to adjust its offerings to meet the needs of trade professionals,” says Amina Nunn, product manager at Klein Tools. “With these new step bit sets we’ve designed two options – one for faster cuts and drilling, and one for cleaner cuts and drilling – to ensure that pros can use the bits in a way that works best on their projects. Both sets feature bits coated with aluminium titanium nitride for long life, easy to read markings and cases that fit in Klein’s MODbox™ modular system.”
