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.

Great value for the price!

Couldn't have finished my screening project without these babies. They're so much more durable then the screws that came with the kit. Also I like the hex shank, the screwdriver really hangs onto them when backing out of wood, instead of being buried in a board.

I thought it was a good price and thought because it was kobalt it would work well. It says it can be used on metal. Please dont try and drill through metal with these bits. It doesnt even get dull, ut just breaks

Broke with hardly any pressure...

Would Not Recommend

I know when it's my fault if I break a drill. Sometimes I accidently apply too much pressure, sometimes the drill gets caught in the material. This 1/8" drill broke on its first use as soon as it made contact with soft pine. I'm getting so tired of paying high prices for junk.

Like Buttah!

Would Recommend

I needed a drill bit to get through 1/16" thick steel post, and a 1/4" thick metal pipe in one go. I did some research online and everything I read said a ti-coated drill bit will get through it with ease. They were not lying. With very little effort it took all of two seconds to get through both the post and pipe. Highly recommended.
