Really? You want me to review a drill bit? Umm, it put a hole in the material I wanted so I guess it was at least good.

The best type of drill bit I use to work on stainless steel, the only bad point about them is that they are very fragile and break at the first mistake made during a manual drilling operation, but using correctly , they are the best!

Working on a deck project that requires me to drill into aluminum posts. This drill bit appeared to be the best that Home Depot had to offer for a metal project.

this drill bit did exactly what I needed it for. I especially liked the guiding nipple at the tip. I have had it for a month now and needed it to drill a large hole into a barbecue in order to insert a thermometer.

Very good quality drill bit. I was able to drill through a quarter inch thick metal plate with relative ease.

Throw this in a drill press and it cuts through steel like it’s aluminium. Does well with a cordless drill as well. Doesn’t wander much. So far has lasted way longer than a normal junk carbide or titanium coated bit. For metal drilling I’m going cobalt from now on, the price is worth it.

Worked well drilling on cast iron and metal.

These cobalt drill bits last longer than standard black oxide or those gimmicky titanium coated ones do.

Bought it to drill stainless steel shelves. Used the lower speed on my Ryobi battery drill as recommended on the drill package and was amazed at how well it worked.

I have been drain drilling holes into galvanized steel planters and it has been doing fine. Very pleased. I bought two just in case but now I know I won’t need the other one.

I am new to knife making. I have tried several different drills and this was the best of the lot for drilling hard metal. Drill speed is vital to successTool speed charts are available onlineI use 600 rpm on my drill press with a little motor oil

Item in great shape out of the container. Very sharp, definitely straight, and superb craftsmanship. Cut right through steel, wood and almost anything else you might desire. Excellent drill bit.
