Titanium nitride coating is gold-colored and harder than standard high-speed steel — it resists the heat that dulls regular bits and cuts friction in the chuck. The 7/64-inch size is right for light-gauge metal and precision work. 1/4-inch shank fits standard 3/8-inch drill chucks without an adapter.
