Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull 19 Piece HSS Jobber Drill Bit Set is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable range of metric drill bits for diverse materials. Its key benefit is the high-quality roll-forged HSS construction, which provides durability when cutting through metals and wood alike. A notable caveat is that while these bits are versatile for various projects, they are primarily optimized for steel and wood, and users should exercise caution to avoid overheating them when drilling through particularly hard alloys.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these bits suitable for masonry or concrete?

No, these are HSS metal-cutting bits. They are not designed for masonry and will dull instantly if used on concrete or brick.

Do I need to sharpen these bits?

While HSS bits can be sharpened, it requires a dedicated drill bit sharpener or specific grinding skills. For most users, replacement is more practical.

What is the largest drill size included?

The set includes a 10.0mm drill bit as the largest size.

Is the storage case waterproof?

The case is designed for secure storage and organization, but it is not waterproof. Keep it in a dry tool chest or workshop environment.

Can I use these in a hand-crank drill?

Yes, as long as the hand drill chuck is capable of securing the shank size of the specific bit you are using.

Troubleshooting

Bit is burning the material instead of cutting

Reduce the drill speed (RPM) and ensure the bit is sharp; if it is dull, it should be replaced.

Small drill bit snaps frequently

Ensure you are applying light, steady pressure and that the bit is not wobbling in the chuck.

Bit 'walks' or skids on the surface

Use a center punch to create a small indentation before starting to provide a guide for the bit tip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers a wide range of common metric sizes
  • Durable HSS material provides professional performance
  • Includes a robust, easy-to-organize storage case
  • Black oxide coating reduces friction and heat buildup

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial masonry applications
  • Requires careful speed management to avoid snapping smaller bits
  • Manual organization required to keep bits in correct slots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Faithfull HSS bits, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Compatibility: These bits are compatible with all standard 3-jaw drill chucks found on corded and cordless power drills.
  2. Drilling Technique: Always start with a center punch when drilling into metal to prevent the bit from walking. Use a low RPM for larger bits (8mm-10mm) and a higher RPM for smaller bits (1mm-3mm).
  3. Lubrication: When drilling into metal, always apply a small amount of cutting oil to reduce friction and dissipate heat, which significantly extends the life of the bit.
  4. Storage: After use, wipe the bits clean of metal shavings and dust. Store them in the provided case to prevent moisture-induced surface oxidation.
