What Customers Are Saying
Customers report mixed results with these drill bits. Many praise sharpness, clean drilling, and excellent value, particularly for metal work and controlled applications like drill presses. However, a substantial number experience sudden breakage during first use or with minimal pressure in wood, aluminum, and composite materials, describing the bits as brittle or poor quality. Some note inconsistent performance depending on usage context and material type. Despite durability concerns, most customers who experience successful use find them worthwhile for the price.

Wrong drill bits.
Would Not RecommendWasted money. They were chosen by an employee for me to use with electric screwdriver I also bought and they did not fit. Could not return them because I had already thrown away my receipt and the package they came in.
