DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240)

I am astonished! Believe me, I have purchased hundreds of different types and brands of drill bits in my 60 years of woodworking and medal working. These bits are like a hot knife cutting through butter. They are the best of all of my bits collection. Highly recommended.

I usually burn thru bit sets pretty quick but these have stayed sharp and unbroken for almost a year now. Use them on metal wood plastics and everything in between and are still going strong

superb drill bits. will buy again. sharp. better than cone drill set

I have used many different kinds of wood, metal and masonry drill bits over the years. Some are good, some are absolutely horrible (start burning almost immediately), and only a few are what I would consider the hammer of Thor of type of efficiency. I recently had to bore some holes in a 2x4 for a steel target hook that needed to be fastened to the post with screws/nuts/ washers. When I started the job I began by using these wood- specific IRWIN Marples Woodboring Forstner Drill Bits, and no joke all of those "special" bits I used started smoking nearly immediately. So, I stopped and went back to the garage and grabbed these. I said a quick prayer that these bits can last me through the 2 holes I needed to make, got the Dewalt bit set up and holy God! These Dewalt bits chewed through the wood in less than 2 seconds (multiple holes made). I couldn't believe how fast and powerful these bits were. Maybe I got lucky with these, but man these bits were amazing! Time will tell how long they last for, but for now I'm truly impressed.

These are excellent drill bits. A very sharp caught heavy steel like butter.

This drill bit set is a game-changer for anyone working with metal. Engineered for durability and precision, these bits feature high-quality construction that resists wear and delivers exceptional performance. Drilling through metal feels effortless—like cutting through butter—thanks to their sharp cutting edges.One standout feature is the larger bits, which come with an integrated pilot tip. This clever design eliminates the need to pre-drill smaller holes, saving you time and effort. The set is neatly housed in a sturdy, transparent case, making it easy to organize and identify the bits at a glance while keeping them secure and ready for use. This set combines innovation, convenience, and reliability.

I occasionally need to drill some holes in metal to make restoration parts for antiques. Like a custom bracket here, a hidden bracing piece there. Try it with regular drill bits, the kind that come with a drill or with a "1000 tools in a 10 inch box" kind of thing. Forget it, they turn to mush, they're not meant for metal even if they say so on them. I made some messes and started some cutting oil fires, that kind of thing. So I asked a friend who works on fancy doors what he does for all the holes he has to drill in things that are metal. So what I found out is use "Cobalt" (still contains steel) bits, press really hard, and put the drill on really low speed. I knew I didn't want to pay $$$ for whatever he uses in his pro work. He admitted his bits are so precious they come packed individually. How to do this but only occasionally? So having been very pleased with Dewalt stuff in the past (my hand drill and job site saw are from them for example), I decided that a small multi-pack from a reputable brand like this would be a good bet. It was. These drill through metal sheeting with my plain 15 year old Dewalt hand drill. We're talking like millimeters in my case. So I do not know what would happen if you tried it on a hunk of railroad rail or something like that. I drill things like an extra hole in things about as thick as a shelf bracket or less. Makes a clean round hole. Punch first, then push hard and drill slowly, right into some backing material like cheap pine scraps, and a few swipes with say 150 grit sandpaper to make sure there are no burrs and you're set. So for a relatively low price, I got the result I wanted. And it's real Dewalt, so you're not just punting, yet it costs about the same as random cheap sets on here. Importantly, the benefits of it occurred to an amateur like myself, who doesn't drill metal regularly but needs it to work when he needs it.
