This bit set Includes drill bits from 1/16 inch through 1/4 inch by 64ths and your purchase Includes an attractive metal carrying case. I trusted Milwaukee because of their reputation for fine tools and am not disappointed. These bits are a good choice for drilling hardend materials such as thick gauge steel plate.
The Milwaukee set has the commonly used sizes (fractional sizes) and will work well for years, regardless of their use. You usually cannot find these in a home center-You might have to go online. You can use these bits for drilling wood and plastic, as well as metal.
got these bits as part of a promotion that Amazon was running called 4 for 3 where I ordered 4 sets of bits and the cheapest set was free (this set of drill bits retails for $26.47 on Amazon w/free shipping) Milwaukee makes great drills, so it stands to reason that their line of drill bits would be top notch products. Cobalt bits like the Milwaukee set are the only way to go if sharpness over time is important to you. I recomend them to anyone looking for a good set of bits for drilling in metal and other materials.
They are Manufactured from heat-resistant cobalt to last longer, are Capable of drilling heat-treated materials, stainless steel, and titanium and feature a 135-degree split point designed for faster penetration. I've learned the hard way that HSS and Titanium Nitride bits don't hold their sharpness well when pushed hard.
These are not "the better bits." They are cobalt bits.Awesome case. They're good at that. They CAN be used on wood, but they were never intended to be do-everything bits that you would use to put holes in a wall to put shelves up or just use and abuse like they were standard HSS bits.
concrete) so make sure you know what is behind any surface you're drilling.Recently, I did have a couple of bits break. I've had this set for years, with great results. Unless you're going through soft material, take the eye protection warning seriously. As I understand it, this is a trade-off for any bit: sharp and hard = brittle, so you can't have your cake and eat it too. Used for wood, thin metal, etc. They have their limits (e.g.
Can you say a lot of crap. The Cobalt Milwaukee went through easy enough but the 10 year old US made DeWalt -nothing special I assume they are HSS - went through A LOT easier. I was surprised because I had heard so much about how great Cobalt bits were. These are good bits and I applaud Milwaukee for making them in the USA. Now, you can't get these Dewalt bits anymore as the current ones are junk from China so that is why I say the Milwaukee's are probably as good as you are going to get but let's not get carried away. These bits probably ARE better than anything readily available considering the sad state of the times. These may very well be the last Milwaukee bits made in the USA and I would encourage you to get them while you can. However, I just compared these bits to 10 year old DeWalt bits in drilling through some thin galvanized steel and the results may surprise you.
More than worth the money. These are the best drill bits I've ever used. They cut thru metal with ease and stay shape.
