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!
