The DEWALT DT5038-QZ – EXTREME 2™ Metal Drill Bit is a high-performance 3 mm diameter drill bit designed for precision drilling in ferrous metals, alloyed and non-alloyed steels up to 900 N/mm², as well as wood and plastic. With an overall length of 61 mm and a working length of 33 mm, it’s ideal for portable drilling applications where accuracy and speed are essential. The bit features a pilot point tip that eliminates bit wandering and ensures clean, burr-free holes from the start, especially useful when working with thin sheet materials.
Engineered with a gold ferrous oxide coating, this drill bit resists overheating and extends tool life under demanding conditions. Its tapered web design increases core strength, reducing the risk of breakage during freehand use. Additionally, the three-flat shank prevents slipping in the chuck, offering better grip and control. Whether you’re a tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, the DT5038-QZ delivers up to 4x faster penetration and 50% more durability compared to standard HSS-R bits.
