It cut through my 2mm aluminum bracket quite easily. Haven't tested on other metals but seems sharp and durable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easier than a spade bit *by R***T on October 31, 2025* Cuts clean & easy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You get quality and service life *by R***B on March 1, 2016* This is the 3rd Unibit of this size in the last 10 years that I have owned, it is not that it is poorly made, its just that I keep using them. This is the only bit that I have found that I can cut gasket foil, if I do not have a punch that size (requires some trickery). It has many, many uses and I keep finding new ones. I have tried other brands but in this style, of the major brands, this last the longest of the non-impact tapered bits. I have run it at 7,500 rpm without incident and as slow as 2 rpm on 1/8" titanium sheet (prepunched starter hole). The Unibits may seem expensive when compared to HF or other cheap brands but with these you get quality and service life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Irwin Tools IRWIN Step Drill Bit, 1/8-Inch to 1/2-Inch Step, 1/4-Inch Shank (10231) Silver|Silver metallic - Irwin Tools IRWIN Step Drill Bit, 3/16-Inch to 7/8-Inch, 3/8-Inch Shank (10234) - Jerax tools 1/4 to 1-3/8 Inch Step Drill Bit Straight Grooved Double Fluted, M2 High Speed Steel Drill bits for Hole Drilling in Stainless Steel, Copper, Aluminum, Wood, Plastic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/17200235-irwin-tools-irwin-step-drill-bit-1-8-inch-to](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/17200235-irwin-tools-irwin-step-drill-bit-1-8-inch-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
