What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit for exceptional durability and reliability in metal applications. Most highlight its ability to outlast competing bits when drilling steel, stainless steel, and aluminum repeatedly without rapid wear. Reviewers consistently note clean, accurate holes with minimal slipping, particularly in mild and hardened steel. Many justify the higher cost through extended service life and reduced replacement frequency. A small number report failures on hardened steel or specialty materials like sterling silver, though these appear tied to mismatched expectations rather than product flaw. Overall, customers strongly recommend it for demanding metal drilling tasks.

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.
