Its an odd size but needed it for my application. Cobalt bit should last for a long time

Great drill. A little proces but it went through 3/16″ mild steel like butter without having to drill a bunch of sequentially larger pilot holes.

I have doors that are made from recycled wood. I tried to drill holes through the door with a cheap-o drill bit I had and it took over 10 minutes to get one hole drilled. I bought this drill bit, and it turned that time into 10 seconds per hole. I wish I had purchased this before making the first hole.

bought this to drill a hole into an Elfa support bracket. Took a little time, but the bit didn’t overheat or break.

I bought this to drill through a metal plate that I could not see inside a brick wall. It did not go through. I tried it on some scrape metal and it went through clean and fast so not sure why. The other issue was I bought a Milwaukee bit extender to reach through the wall and this bit would not in fit the 1/4 inch holder.

These are the best bits I have ever used. They last through many uses on heavy steel. (I recommend going slow, and putting a drop of oil on the tip every 30-60 seconds.) I used this bit to drill 10 holes thru 1/4” steel, then thru a bunch of rivets, and it is still sharp!

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 cobalt bit drills stainless steel well. The Milwaukee brand performs much better than the competition.
