Freeform Bell Hangers - All these USA manufactured Bell Hangers have an aggressive and durable high speed steel cutting head, and a wire pull hole at the chuck end. This tip is designed cut through both wood and metal. They are similar to the Freeform Flexbits but they are made with a 1/4" heavy duty shaft for added strength. The thicker more durable shaft is especially appreciated when drilling through headers or solid doors.
The BLACK SHAFT SERIES has a 118° standard point high speed steel bit tip, with an aggressive fast spiral design and a "wire pull hole at the chuck end only."
The "WH" BLUE SHAFT SERIES has a 118° split point high speed steel bit tip, with a slow spiral design for additional strength and a "wire pull hole in the bit end and the shaft end." Made with "metal cutting" grade high speed steel, this bit is not to be confused with softer (high carbon steel) bits with a pull hole. The tooling required to put a wire pull hole on the bit tip of this particular grade of steel is a complex, labor intensive process.
NOTE: The manufacturer of these blue-shaft WH Series Flexible High Speed Drill Bits is currently having a temporary shortage of the BIT TIPS with a WIRE PULL HOLE. The manufacturer says it may be June/July until they will have new inventory. Feel free to order the last of what is available, as we still have some sizes in stock (see below). Until the WH Series are again available, we suggest the standard black-shaft series American-Flex with the Hole in the back end as a temporary replacement to receive the same drilling performance and hardened steel/wood cutting bit tip.
DRILL BIT - EXTENDED - FREEFORM 23/64 x 24 Bell Hanger for 3/8 Recessed Contacts
This unique "Red Shaft" bit is made with a 23/64" cutting head for a snug fit for 3/8" recessed press-fit security contacts and magnets. It is only 1/64" smaller, but it is enough to make a difference.
