DEWALT Extreme 2 HSS-G 5.2mm Twist Drill Bit for Metal, Wood and Plastic - Split Point 135° DIN 338

Drilling precise holes in tough materials demands a bit that resists heat, stays sharp, and starts exactly where you aim. The DEWALT Extreme 2 HSS-G 5.2mm twist drill bit delivers that reliability, turning your corded or cordless drill into a precision tool for metal, wood, and plastics. Its ground high-speed steel body and split point tip reduce walking and extend life, so you spend less time re-drilling and more time completing the job.

Who is it for

This bit is built for professional tradespeople, metalworkers, and serious DIYers who need consistent, accurate holes in a range of materials. Whether you are fabricating brackets, installing hardware, or working on mixed-material projects, the 5.2mm diameter covers common screw clearance and pilot hole sizes. It fits any standard drill chuck and works with both corded and cordless drills.

Main features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction with ground flutes for efficient chip removal and heat resistance.
• 135° split point tip self-centers on contact, eliminating the need for a center punch and reducing walking.
• Precision-ground cutting edges deliver clean, burr-free holes in metal, wood, and plastic.
• DIN 338 standard dimensions ensure compatibility with standard drill chucks and common applications.
• Bright/bronze finish resists corrosion and reduces friction for smoother drilling.

Tips

For best results in metal, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and extend bit life. Apply moderate, steady pressure and let the bit do the work—excessive force can dull the cutting edges. When drilling wood or plastic, reduce speed to prevent melting or burning. Store the bit in a dry place to maintain its finish.
