Drill Holes in Tight Spaces with Milescraft StubbyBits

Standard-length drill bits can make it difficult to work inside cabinets, around corners, or in other confined areas. Milescraft StubbyBits feature a compact design that helps you reach tight spaces while reducing the risk of bending or breaking a longer drill bit.

Choose the material-specific set that best fits your project. Both options are precision ground from a single piece of durable M2 high-speed steel, eliminating the weak point found on bits that are welded or crimped together. The 1/4-inch hex shanks fit standard and quick-change chucks and pair especially well with Milescraft right-angle drill attachments.

Are these bits for wood or metal?

Their short 1-7/8" length lets you drill in confined areas and around corners where standard bits won't fit, without breaking off the tip of a longer bit.

Yes. The 1/4" hex shank fits both standard chucks and quick-change chucks for fast bit swaps.
