Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The most expensive bit you'll ever buy will be the one that snaps or won't cut when you need it most. These top-quality Cobalt coated bits will cut through even the hardest materials like stainless steel, spring steel and titanium. 1/4-inch hex shank and included Quick-Change adapter allow faster and easier bit changes. Secure-fit carry case keeps bits in order for quick selection. Sizes: 1/16 to 1/2-inch by 64ths.


Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars don't bother. bits break and strip themselves from their housing.   December 21, 2008
too much torque and the bit break, or are striped from their housing. I recommend spending the extra $$ to get more durable bits.


3 out of 5 stars many of the bits are not true   June 3, 2007

The drill bits appear of reasonable quality except for the fact that a good number are not well aligned with the hexagonal base - there is a very annoying wobble in at least 5 of the bits I received in this set.

Despite the manufacturers name (Neiko Tools USA), this set is made in China. It is of reasonable quality given the price, but in my opinion is definately not a "Professional Grade" 29-piece set, which typically sells for four times the price of this set. Perhaps OK for the occassional user, but will frustrate anyone expecting superior performance and/or durability.

THIS IS NOT A COBALT SET OF DRILLS!! This is a High Speed Steel set of hex shank drill bits that are cobalt coated. The drills are also made in China. I have never bought a single cobalt drill made in China. I buy higher quality cobalt drills made in The US. Amazon should withdraw or change the description of this listing.


4 out of 5 stars Handy to have.   April 27, 2007

I gave these drill bits 4 stars just because their so handy to have in the shop. If your needing bits to drill presion holes don't get these. The smaller bit have a lot of wobble. But for drilling holes for screws or whatever they are worth the money. What do you expect for less than forty bucks. A 29 piece cobalt set from Snap On is close to $400.00. Enough said!
