What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit for its precision, durability, and reliable performance on metalworking tasks. Most highlight its true-to-size dimensions and 0.005-inch accuracy, noting it drills cleanly without drifting—a critical advantage for tight-tolerance projects. Many report it lasts substantially longer than competitor bits, especially on mild and medium-grade steel, making frequent replacement unnecessary. Reviewers consistently describe it as tough and sturdy, with several noting it outperforms older bits that dulled or skipped quickly. A few mention it dulls on extremely hard materials or snapped under heavy loads, but these isolated cases do not reflect the majority experience. Overall, most customers consider it a reliable, worthwhile investment for serious metalworking.

Wouldn’t drill through hardened steel
Although cobalt supposedly will drill through hardened steel, this wouldn’t cut at all. I bought this as a pilot for a 1/4” hole in hardened steel. Lowe’s didn’t have any carbide bits. I ended up forcing my HSS bits through and reaming to final size. I returned the 1/4” cobalt bit unopened and will use the 1/8” carbide for softer stuff.
