Featuring a pilot point tip design that reduces walking at startup to provide you with more precise performance, these industrial-strength Cobalt bits make quick work of tough tasks like drilling through stainless steel. And they come neatly packaged in a heavy-duty case made from industrial-grade ABS material, so you never end up sorting through the bottom of a big tool kit for a bit, only to find that it's been damaged in transport. This durable case also offers an interlocking hinge and a sliding, rubber lock, so you can count on it to stay closed and hold up to the test of time. Labeled slots for each bit and an advanced bit holder help you stay organized and ensure that you know which bits are which at a glance. Included in this kit are two 1/16-, two 3/32-, and two 1/8-inch commonly used bits, and bits in 5/64-, 7/64-, 9/64-, 5/32-, 3/16-, 7/32-, 1/4-, and 5/16-inch sizes suitable for a wide variety of applications. |

 Great bits in a sturdy caseSep 13, 2002
By Mr Joseph M. Goldberg
What a great purchase! The bits are sharp and sturdy, and they cut through wood like it's butter. They come to a point at a wide angle, so they're less likely to slide away from your drilling point as you start drilling.I've only owned them for a few weeks, so I can't attest to how long they'll stay this sharp. Also, I've yet to try drilling through metal. The set comes with two bits for some of the popular sizes, which is great since I tend to lose or break my 1/8" bit all the time. The case itself is quite sturdy, but a little oversized. The bits are held firmly in place, so you never open your case after a bumpy car ride to have all 13 bits fall to your feet. If you own a DeWalt drill, it fits snugly in the drill case.
My one complaint is that the sliding lock is really tough to open and close.

Excellent quality and durabilityJan 06, 2004
I was amazed at the rate these drill bits chew through metal... I drilled through a 1/4" of a piece of tempered steel in half a minute and through 16ga copper sheet in barely a second. The cobalt bits in the copper were incredible, I did not even have to apply much pressure to get the bit to bite. Very impressed.

 very aggresive little bits!Jan 24, 2009

you have been reading my reviews lately, you know I have reviewed drill bits. Alot of drill bits in fact.Spadebits, auger bits, hole saw bits, masonary bits and finally twist bits. These are the standard drill bits most of us are familiar with and use for drilling in metals, woods and plastics. Good bits are vital to a drills ability to do its thing. I have reviewed many(see other reviews) and these bits had some problems.
I got 2 sets of these bits on clearance (what else is new)
This set includes two 1/16-inch split point bits; 1 each split point bits from 5/64- to 7/64-inch-by-64ths; 2 1/8-inch split point bits; 1 each Pilot Point bit: 9/64, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 5/16; and 3/8-inch Pilot Point bits in a tough yellow plastic case.
I like The "no-spin" shank used on bits sizes 3/16-inch and over, as it eliminated the anoyance of bits spining in the chuck instead of drilling.
In use, I found these bits to be a bit too aggressive due to the pilot point grabbing violently. If my workpiece hadn't been clamped down, the results may have been disasterous. I would recomend these only for rough work where tearout and overall finish didnt matter. These bits simply rip into the workpiece with a little to much zest for my taste. You could damage some expensive wood with these bits performing like this. They have all the smoothness of a spade bit.
At 16 dollars and change from amazon, they are reasonable cheap. Good quality, sure. But way too aggresive for my liking!

Great - cuts like I'm drilling soft wood all the timeSep 12, 2005
By B. Waller

I bought htese because my old drill kit was missing a few bits and they were getting old. I had no idea how dull they were until I bought these. The effort required to drill holes was minimal. No more pushing hard and smoking holes from the heat of a dull bit.
Sure, I could have sharpened my old bits, but for the cost of a Drill Doctor, I can buy enough of these sets to last a lifetime.

Working very wellJul 25, 2011
By Injuis
Had these for nearly a year now and I'm glad I bought them. They replaced some black oxide junk I had from Ryobi.
First thing is that this are very stiff. They do not bend like the cheap stuff I had before. Second thing is that they cut into stuff like a enraged demon. Most of my projects are wood or sheet metal and they dont slow down one bit. They are a tad too aggressive for me at times, but all I do is slow down and not push too hard. Lastly, they seem to have great wear characteristics. All my bits still look like new, despite fairly heavy usage.
Highly recommended if you're in need of high quality bits.
