What Customers Are Saying

Most customers praise these drill bits for sharp performance, clean drilling, and excellent value, particularly for metal, wood, and plastic applications. The hex shank design and titanium coating earn consistent appreciation. However, a notable group reports unexpected breakage under light use, describing bits shattering or twisting apart during routine tasks. Some warn of safety risks when used in impact drills. Despite durability concerns, many find them ideal for replacements or occasional use. Overall, customers who experience no breakage consider them reliable and affordable, though unpredictable failures remain a persistent issue for others.

WRONG DRILL BIT, LOWE'S

Would Recommend

THE drill bit I purchased was a Bosch Bulldog Xtreme 8 (8 cutter carbide head), 1/2"X6". I'm going to use it to drill 2 holes in the concrete cover of the opening of my concrete septic tank so I can install a ubolt to lift the top off the tank when having it pumped out. The original ubolt was cast into the cover and has rotted out. It's worrisome to me that Lowe's systems would identify the incorrect item as my purchase. And I'm a Lowe's stockholder!!

Long, brittle bits. Use only in drill press.

Would Not Recommend

They broke very easily when used in a hand drill. Might work okay in a drill press. They cost little and still provided decent value.

The Tin coat is my go-to and the 1/4" hex shank means it fits pretty much any chuck.
