What Customers Are Saying
Here is the refined summary: The drill bits are generally praised for their good quality and performance, being sharp and durable for DIY projects and light-duty use. The included case is also noted as a positive feature for organization and storage. However, many customers reported issues with the bits, such as them breaking easily even when drilling into soft materials, separating from the hex shank, or becoming dull quickly. There were also complaints about the poor design of the case, with the bits frequently falling out of their slots. Overall, the drill bits seem to be a mixed bag, potentially suitable for occasional, light-duty tasks but disappointing in terms of quality and durability for some customers.

Would Not RecommendBought these bits to drill 4 holes in galvanized tubing and ended going to get Milwaukee bits that took all of two seconds to drill. I will not use these bits for anything but a doorstop

Terrible Case
Would Not RecommendSo far, the drill bits have been okay. One broke, but It was one of the small ones. The really bad part is the case they come in. The little yellow latches that hold the bit holders in place are absolute garbage. They constantly come loose and allow the bit holders to move, which causes the bits to dump out in the case. Also, the black latch on the outside pops off almost every time I open it. I would not recommend this.

Not sharp even out of the box
Would Not RecommendI was very disappointed in these bits. They are not sharp enough to drill through oak or pine. Even the larger bits just throw out smoke. The are not a good investment.

Broke 2 bits within seconds
Would Not RecommendAbsolutely useless. Drilling mild steel with little pressure, they didn't bite and 2 of the bits broke that were 1.4 thick, so no excuse. Stay far far far away from these, another terrible product from Kobalt.

Comically bad
Would Not RecommendThese bits are so bad it's actually funny. I seat them in a drill, spin them and think "oh, I didn't seat it correctly." But oh, no. The runout is that bad on every bit. It's almost like they were intentionally bent. add to that the worst designed case ever and I've dropped this mess in the trash.

Horrible
Would Not RecommendSo I've used these on metal exactly twice. Both times I was simply putting a hole in thin aluminum square tubing. The bit snapped both times even with relatively low pressure. I've had a small old crummy Ryobi set for 10 years and I've only had 1 bit break in that time. These Kobalt bits are the most brittle bits I've probably ever seen.

More like Snap Off
Would Not RecommendBrittle metal that broke on first use. It was being used in soft pine and not even metal. Now I have to go all the way back to the store to return what I thought was a good brand.
