drillbits

Spiral cutting attachments

Drillbits is the plural of drillbit—a cutting tool that attaches to a drill to bore holes in wood, metal, masonry, or other materials.

Different shapes serve different purposes: twist bits for general use, spade bits for large holes in wood, masonry bits for concrete.

I need to pick up some new drillbits at the hardware store.

Also spelled as two words: drill bits.
