Diablo Tools Unlocks Unprecedented Productivity with Game-Changing Metal Demon™ Drill Bit Range for Mild, Hardened and Stainless Steels

Innovative metal drill bit range combines three functions into one

ATLANTA, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Diablo Tools ("Diablo"), which offers a solution-oriented range of best-in-the-world and best-for-our-world products for the professional user, unlocks new levels of productivity in the metal drilling category with an exciting new range of solutions: Metal Demon™ Drill Bits for Mild, Hardened and Stainless Steels. Another industry first for Diablo Tools, this innovative range combines benefits of three drill bit types—black oxide, titanium, and cobalt—into a single groundbreaking solution that dramatically delivers up to 30X longer life. Now, a user can choose one bit and drill into mild, hardened and stainless steels, plus wood applications rather than having to switch out bits. Armed with many cutting-edge design features for extra-long bit life and maximum efficiency, this range is ready to break through any barrier with premium performance.

Drilling metal is tough. It involves tough material, tough tools and, unfortunately for the modern professional, high price points that deliver low value. In today's market, pros must choose between quality, functionality, and affordability. Most metal drill bits are designed to 'grind' when drilling through metal, creating a slow and low-quality hole. Diablo's Metal Demon™ Drill Bits for Mild, Hardened and Stainless Steels are manufactured with high-speed steel and a coating that cuts rather than grinds and delivers precise, fast, clean holes. Current options on the market include low-price bits coated in black oxide for rust protection, medium-price bits coated in titanium that offer protection but can deliver inconsistent performance, or cobalt bits that are limited to stainless steel or other very brittle material with varying durability and an even higher price tag. In most cases, pros are forced to "learn by failing" and purchase all three bits, sacrificing time, energy and whatever is in their wallet. In the worst cases, they buy multiples of all three to replace low-quality bits.

A reliable, everyday metal drill bit that offers extreme durability and maximum efficiency simply hasn't been an option—until now.

Diablo's revolutionary Metal Demon™ Drill Bits for Mild, Hardened and Stainless Steels combine the functionality of all three-bit types while also enabling electrifying results. The 3-in-1 bit solution creates fast, clean holes in all metal applications and deliver up to 30X longer life than standard Titanium, Cobalt and Black Oxide drill bits, resulting in a savings of up to $230 per bit.

These bits "beat the heat" when it comes to drilling stainless steel unlike —like a black oxide-coated bit—and bring unmatched durability in mild steel applications, much like a titanium-coated bit. Similarly, where a standard cobalt bit may be too brittle or too specialized, the Metal Demon™ Twist Drill Bit simplifies the metal drilling experience with one that can do it all.

The secret to the Metal Demon™ Drill Bits for Mild, Hardened and Stainless Steel's superior performance is Diablo's commitment to industry-changing design combined with Diablo's proprietary Thermal Shield Protective Coating™ that creates a multi-layered protective barrier around the tip to shield against heat and maximize durability. These bits also offer a 130° Split Point Tip, which makes pre-drilling obsolete by maintaining exceptional sharpness and enabling extra-long bit life for portable and stationary drilling tools. An Automated Precision CNC grinding process reduces bit wear while the bit's aggressive and optimized flute design removes metal shavings faster. The end result? Extreme speed when drilling holes, industry-changing bit life and mind-blowing productivity.

"Professional users have long demanded a single solution for metal drilling that's efficient and long-lasting, and we answered the call," says Russell Kohl, President and CEO of Diablo/Freud Tools. "With this exciting new range, professionals now have one drill bit they can turn to time after time. We're eliminating the guesswork with a one-size-dominates-all solution. These superior bits can break through any mild or stainless steel you put in their way and offer users unprecedented levels of ease, productivity, and versatility. The Metal Demon™ Twist Drill Bits can do it all. Like other Diablo solutions, we've broken the threshold on efficiency yet again!"
