Q: Why would I need an extra-long drill bit instead of a regular one?
A standard bit forces you to remove the countersink/counterbore assembly to drill deep enough for a long screw; these extra-long taper-point drill bits skip that step entirely.

Those who regularly use #8 screws longer than 2", or #9 or #10 screws longer than 2 1/2", should buy extra-long drill bits so that they don't have to remove the countersink/counterbore unit from the drill for extra-depth drilling.
These HSS drill bits, all about 6" long, will handle just about any long screw you will be using. They can be used with our drill bit/countersink/counterbore assemblies.
Made in USA.
A standard bit forces you to remove the countersink/counterbore assembly to drill deep enough for a long screw; these extra-long taper-point drill bits skip that step entirely.
They suit #8 screws longer than 2" and #9 or #10 screws longer than 2 1/2", where a standard-length bit runs out of reach.
They're made from high-speed steel (HSS), which holds up well to repeated deep-hole drilling.
