What Customers Are Saying

Most customers praise these drill bits for sharp performance and reliable results when used in controlled applications like drill presses or light-pressure drilling of wood and aluminum. Many report successful use for pilot holes and deck screws with good penetration and longevity. However, a significant portion express frustration with premature breakage under minimal pressure, particularly in impact drills, citing brittleness and structural weakness. Some note the bits require careful handling and lower speeds to prevent failure. Overall, customers find them effective for specific applications despite durability concerns.

Masonry Bit

Would Recommend

The bit wasn’t very expensive and it worked well. My use was limited so I’m not sure how long it would last.

Drill bits that work as drill bits are supposed to

Would Recommend

I like the fact that they drill holes as advertised.

Very brittle

Would Not Recommend

The bits are very brittle. Already broke both of them just drilling through studs. Also the aluminum base makes them wear quickly. If you use a magnetic angle head for getting into tight spaces the bit will fall out due to it having the aluminum base

All impact bits should be 2"

Would Recommend

2" depth allows alignment pilot through standard 2x4(6,8...). If you need to use sheetrock anchors it helps if they're aligned properly. 1 Drill and install one anchor. 2 Attach board you want to mount. 3 Drill remaining (pilot) holes. 4 Remove board and install anchors. 5 Mount and attach board.

NO MORE Kobalt drills!

Would Not Recommend

I've had too many of these Kobalt drill bits break under conditions when very little pressure is applied in soft wood and they are almost brand new. It's like they're made of glass.
