FAQs

What materials can I use these drill bits on?

These drill bits are suitable for use on steel, wood, and plastic.

How long will the titanium nitride coating last?

The coating is designed to extend the life of the bit up to 6 times longer than standard bits. The lifespan depends on usage and materials drilled.

What is the benefit of the 1/4" hex shank?

The 1/4" hex shank allows for quick and easy bit changes in cordless screwdrivers and drills.

How do I choose the correct drill bit size?

Select the bit size that matches the diameter of the screw or fastener you are using. For precise guidance, measure the screw diameter.

Can I use these bits with a drill press?

Yes, these bits can be used with a drill press, provided the chuck accepts 1/4" hex shank bits or an adapter is used.

How should I store the drill bits?

Store the drill bits in a dry place to prevent rust. Consider using the provided case to keep them organized.

What if the bit breaks?

If a bit breaks, stop using it immediately. Replace it with a new bit of the correct size. Avoid excessive force when drilling.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is dull and not penetrating the material.

Check if the bit has become worn and replace it with a new one. Ensure you are using the correct speed and pressure for the material.

Drill bit is overheating and smoking.

Reduce the drilling speed and apply less pressure. Allow the bit to cool down periodically. Consider using a lubricant when drilling into metal.

Hole is not straight or is wandering.

Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface. Start with a pilot hole or use a center punch to guide the bit. Apply even pressure.
