Sutton 8.0mm x 300mm HSS Extra Long Reach Drill Bit
Part No: D2170800 | Barcode: 9311963640068 | Series: D217 Extra Long Reach
The Sutton D2170800 is a 8.0mm extra-long reach drill, 300mm overall length, designed for jobs where a standard jobber bit physically can’t reach — deep wall penetrations, through-stud cable runs, plumbing rough-ins, and timber-frame fitouts. Standard flute length on a long shank keeps deflection predictable.

Key Features & Benefits
- 300mm overall length — reaches through double timber stud walls, deep masonry chases, and packed-out wall cavities a jobber drill leaves you 100mm short of.
- 135° split point — self-centring on smooth and angled surfaces; eliminates the centre-punch step in steel and reduces walking on hard plastics.
- Standard flute length on long shank — flute geometry stays the same as a jobber so swarf evacuation is normal; the extra length is in the parallel shank, where deflection is well-supported by the chuck.
- M2 high-speed steel — runs hot and abrasive in mild steel, stainless, and gummy aluminium without losing the cutting edge.
- Bright finish — clean, low-friction surface for general drilling; takes cutting fluid well in metals.
When to Use This Drill
The Sutton D2170800 (8.0mm) is the right call when reach matters more than rigidity — running data cable through stud walls, drilling through joists for plumbing, or threading clearance holes through layered timber where a 150mm drill body just won’t make it. For deeper holes than 300mm, step up to an auger; for everyday drilling, use a jobber-length drill instead.
Pro Tip: Run extra-long drills at lower RPM than the equivalent jobber size and start the hole with the chuck pushed close to the work, then withdraw to give the long shank room. Walking starts with shank flex — once the flutes are cutting, deflection drops and the bit tracks straight. For 8.0mm in timber, ~600-1000 RPM with steady pressure is the sweet spot.
