 Great Set Of BitsJun 04, 2002
By ScottG
These are the best bits I have owned particularly for metal. They cut extremely well and stay sharp. In a cordless drill, even the 1/2 inch bit drills through steel like butter. In wood they will literally pull the cordless drill through causing some tear-out on the back side unless a backer board is used or you hold back on the drill as it breaks through. They are exceptional when used in a drill press for both wood and metal.

 Far too agressive!!!Oct 08, 2005
By M. Geiser

These bits were fine for utility work but when used for any finish work.. (i.e. mounting hardware or trying to drill w/o going all the way through) they are too hungry for the wood. The larger bits don't actually drill through the wood so much as drill into it like a screw. Even when being extra careful to apply light pressure the drill was twisted out of my hand as the bit tore through my workpiece. while drilling through some Maple Plywood drawer fronts the bit pulled the workpiece up off the table and out of my hand leaving a large chipped out area of veneer on the face of my piece. I also wasn't impressed with the pilot point, the bit still walked. Nothing beats an awl or center punch for accurate drilling

These are very good bits!Jan 17, 2005

I bought this set at Lowe's and so far I am very pleased with their quality. I paid about the same price but I also got a free DeWalt baseball cap in the deal! The bits have stayed sharp through many projects and this new design for the case is a vast improvement - the hinge is much stronger and I feel it will hold up well. Because this assortment includes all of the sizes you would use most often, I keep mine right in the case with my DeWalt cordless drill so I am never without them!
Buy these and you won't regret it - especially if you often work away from your workshop!

Great bits while they last . . . .Jun 03, 2004
I am a big fan of this set and of DeWalt's pilot point drill bits. However, once the pilot point dulls it is difficult to sharpen, and individual replacement pilot point bits are hard/impossible to find. So it's either go back to regular bits for replacement, or buy an entirely new kit.

 It's OK set of drill bits but not all that great.Jun 24, 2005
By V. Hoang
I've owned this set for a year with very infrequent use and half of the bits are useless now. It was sharp at first but dulls pretty quickly although it lasted much longer than the Black and Decker bits. I dropped the largest bit 3/8 from waiste height and it broke in half. Anyway, I'm now shopping for another set of drill bits and Dewalt drill bits are not going to be on my shopping list.
