Champion MSD-HEX Hex Shank Step Drills — 1/4" Impact-Ready, TiN Coated, Fast Clean Holes in Metal

The Champion MSD-HEX Hex Shank Step Drills are professional-grade step drills engineered for fast, clean, and burr-free holemaking in thin sheet metal up to 1/8". Designed with a 1/4" hex shank, these step drills are impact-driver compatible and ideal for electricians, HVAC installers, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers who need speed, accuracy, and versatility on the job.

Each MSD-HEX step drill features a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating that reduces friction, improves heat resistance, and significantly extends tool life compared to uncoated step drills. The precision-ground step geometry allows multiple hole sizes to be drilled with a single tool, eliminating constant bit changes and ensuring consistent hole quality in electrical panels, enclosures, studs, and sheet metal.

Key Benefits

1/4" hex shank for quick-change compatibility with impact drivers and cordless drills.
TiN-coated cutting edges for longer life, smoother cutting, and reduced heat buildup.
Self-starting split point for accurate starts with minimal walking.
Step drill geometry drills multiple hole sizes with one tool.
Two-flute design provides balanced cutting and clean, round holes.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for drilling clean holes in sheet metal, electrical panels, junction boxes, conduit knockouts, HVAC ducting, studs, and enclosures. MSD-HEX step drills are especially effective where twist drills grab, chatter, or leave burrs.

Materials & Applications

Materials	Sheet steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, thin non-ferrous metals
Applications	Electrical installation, HVAC work, metal fabrication, maintenance, field service, construction

Recommended for sheet metal up to 1/8". Use moderate speed and steady pressure. Always wear PPE and secure the workpiece.

1/4” Hex Impact-Ready Design — Allows fast bit changes and secure engagement in impact drivers, making MSD-HEX step drills significantly faster and more practical on ladders, job sites, and field installations compared to standard round-shank step drills.
