Gerber Platinum Specialty Bits
Gerber Platinum Specialty bits take the guesswork out of choosing the correct bit for a specific substrate. Gerber Platinum bit descriptions include an application code which identifies materials and applications for which the bit is most suited. The application code is etched into the shank of the bit, along with the part number, for easy identification once the bit has been removed from its sleeve
