Stub Length Precision for Trade, Metal & Workshop Use

When accuracy & stability matter most, Sutton Tools Stub Drills deliver the strength & precision Australian trades rely on. Built shorter for rigidity & control, these stub-length HSS drills reduce flex, wander & breakage — ideal for metal fabrication, maintenance & production environments.

Each drill in this range is manufactured from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS) with a blue finish for superior wear resistance & longer tool life. Designed for tight spaces & high-accuracy work, Sutton Stub Drills give mechanics, machinists & fabricators the confidence to drill clean, straight holes through steel, alloy & other tough materials.

From Somerville workshops to manufacturing plants across the Mornington Peninsula, these drills are trusted where precision comes first. Pair your set with Cutting Lubricants & Coolants for smoother cuts, Air Tools & Compressors for consistent speed control & Measuring & Layout Tools for accurate positioning every time. Every order ships fast with Same Day Dispatch & is backed by the Industrial Shed Trade Guarantee.
