What Customers Are Saying

The drill bit performs well for many common drilling tasks, but may struggle with very hard or thick materials like stainless steel. Customers report the bit is great, long-lasting, and able to drill through a variety of materials with ease. However, some customers experienced issues, particularly when drilling through stainless steel, with the bit struggling or failing completely in those cases. Using cutting oil and drilling slowly is recommended to get the best results.

Not for hardened steel

This bit works well for mild steel but will not touch hardened steel after the “pilot” tip cuts in. The pilot tip cuts it like butter, but once the shoulders of the bit hits the steel it’s done. It’s a shame, if the whole cutting edge were made of the same material or same geometry the pilot tip is made up of, this would be a great bit.

Description incorrect.

Would Not Recommend

Description says DEWALT 1/4-in x 6-in Cobalt Twist Drill Bit. But this bit is standard jobber length (4 inches long).

I’ve only used this bit a few times thus far on my jobs but I’m eager to see how these newer bits that are 2x & 4x longer lasting, if they really are able to stand to the challenge.

Low wear, fast cutting

Would Recommend

Bought this drill bit after burning our two on hard steel in just 2 holes. One of these allowed me to finish 4 more hole and the bit still has life left in it. I was surprised. Advertised at 4X life of other quality bits. It is every bit of that for a 5% higher price.
