DEWALT DW1269 29-Piece Cobalt Pilot-Point Metal Drill Bit Index Set

 (14 customer reviews)

I've always used dollar store drill bits before this set, and after breaking the better part of two different sets of cheap bits, I decided to get something a little more enduring. These bits are great, they cut metal and wood like butter. The pilot tip is awesome, now I can use a hand drill in cases where with junk bits, I definitely would have used my drill press. A couple words of caution, these bits bite hard into plastic (sometimes when the pilot tip breaks through, rest of the bit grabs and tears through), so go slow.

These drill bits are the envy of all my friends. They are expensive compared to other drill bits of less quality, but very well worth the price after you have had a chance to use them. They make drilling effortlessly when compared to titanium drill bits.

These drill bits are simply amazing - 10 out of 5 stars!!!! I cut 20 5/16" holes through 1/4" stainless steel almost as fast as I can drill through a piece of wood (use cutting lubricant for this and start with a smaller bit first - you don't need to start with an 1/8, you can start larger) and on the last hole, the bit was just as sharp a when I started. They cut as a high quality tool should, by cutting steel into long shavings, not little pieces. Oh and if you have to cut regular old mild steel, the metal doesn't stand a chance. I wonder what they do to aluminum, they probably eat it for breakfast!

For a set of bits that can cut stainless like butter, the price is also amazing!

Love them!
