Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Jobber-length bits are most common type of drill bits. The length of the flutes is ten times the diameter of the drill. Milwaukee's 29-Piece Cobalt Jobbers Twist Drill Bit Set is perfect for everyday tasks as well as heavy duty jobs that require drilling through hard materials. The bits range in size from 1/16-inch to 1/2-inch, allowing for a wide range of boring options. Like other drill bits made from cobalt steel, these Milwaukee bits have an exceptional ability to maintain their hardness at high temperatures. This enables them to pierce materials such as stainless steel and titanium without a substantial reduction in sharpness. On top of that, they feature self-centering capabilities and 135-degree split-point construction for minimal walk. If you're looking for drill bits that will stand up to the most demanding tasks, this is a good option.

These are what drill bits should be, they are straight and sharp. I was using my drill press when tired them. First on wood, they started where I wanted, no skipping, cut clean, both entry and exit, true, with out deflection, and with such ease from the smallest to the largest in softwood or hardwood. This wasn't love but it was a thrill I was totally satisfied right then but I had to try metal. The same results I don't work with Stainless or Titanium. These bits are a real pleasure. These are the most expensive set of Drill Bits that I have ever purchased I'm sorry I spent so much money on cheaper bits.

I know what you're thinking, "THAT'S $6.00 A BIT!" Well yes it is, and it's worth every penny. I thought the same thing, but after a very frustrating experience trying to drill cast iron with lesser bits, I decided it was time to try something better. My wife bought me this set as a gift about 2 years ago and I love them. I abuse these bits and they take it with a smile. I'm one of those guys that's too lazy to get the out the cutting fliud when a I only have a couple holes to drill. I regularly drill steel angle without lubricant and my bits are none the worse for wear. I did manage to dull one drilling too fast in a stone tile. Thinking, "maybe all cobalt bits are this good," I bought a Steel-X cobalt replacement. I ended up throwing the brand new Steel-X in the trash - the dull Milwaukee was still better. If I ever manage to wear these things out, I fully intend to replace them with the same set. If you're suspicious or don't need the larger bits, then try the 13 peice set. You won't regret it.

Good drill bits are getting harder and harder to find! These are the fastest and smoothest bits I've found for drilling metal hands down.
