What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these drill bits for reliable performance and durability across metal drilling tasks. Most report they drilled cleanly and efficiently through aluminum, steel, and angle iron with precise holes and no drifting. Many note the bits outlasted competing products, particularly on mild to medium-grade metals, and describe them as tough and hardened. Reviewers frequently commend the quality-to-price balance, expressing surprise at strong performance given the cost. A small number report wear on hardened steel or aluminum, but overall, most customers consider them excellent value and highly recommend them.

Would buy to drill in brick or concrete

Would Not Recommend

Did a poor job of drilling a 3/4" in grout. Took almost an hour using an awl to loosen up the the concrete.

This bit didn't work for me

Would Not Recommend

I purchased the drill bit to help my grandson on a project on which he was working. He was trying to drill a 1/8 hole in a piece of steel. The drill bit wasn't able to drill the hole. It wasn't even able to virtually make a scratch on it. I switched to another bit from another manufacturer and cut right through the steel

Its actually true sized!

Would Recommend

Many small drill bits are undersized, this Dewalt 3/32 inch diameter drill bit is actually true to size. At this small diameter even 0.005 inches off on the dimension can be a problem when having a mating metal part going into the hole, so I am grateful that the drill bit is the correct size!
