Amazon.com Review

We've all dealt with drill bits that couldn't stand up to our everyday demands. Fortunately, Milwaukee's 13-piece cobalt bit set can. Manufactured from heat-resistant cobalt, these self-centering, 135-degree split-point bits are designed for exceptional strength and faster penetration. Now you can drill through stainless steel, titanium, and the toughest heat-treated materials more easily, and with far fewer broken bits. The bits range in size from 1/16 to 1/4 inches and come housed in an attractive metal carrying case. --Carl Thress

These will be the last drill bits you will need to buy. They are super hard and will go through the toughest heat-treated metal. You will need to be carefull with them; even though they are hard, they will break if you were to drop them onto a concrete floor. But will a little care they should last a lifetime.

I purchased these as a gift for the home improvement junkie that I share a house with and guess who uses them constantly? ME! They are razor sharp and quite an upgrade from the cheap dull ones we had previously. Don't buy cheap tools! They are dangerous and frustrating. We also have the 14 volt Milwaukee cordless drill and I love that too. Very happy with the bits.

I've learned the hard way that HSS and Titanium Nitride bits don't hold their sharpness well when pushed hard. Cobalt bits like the Milwaukee set are the only way to go if sharpness over time is important to you. The Milwaukee set has the commonly used sizes (fractional sizes) and will work well for years, regardless of their use. I trusted Milwaukee because of their reputation for fine tools and am not disappionted.
