 Great - cuts like I'm drilling soft wood all the time September 12, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
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.

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.
Great bits in a sturdy case September 13, 2002

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.
