Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these bits suitable for masonry or concrete?

No, these are High-Speed Steel (HSS) bits designed for metal and plastic. Masonry bits require carbide tips.

Can I use these in a hand drill?

Yes, these bits are fully compatible with standard hand-held power drills and drill presses.

What is the largest drill bit in the set?

The set includes a 13mm bit as the largest size.

Should I use oil when drilling plastic?

Generally, oil is not required for plastic, but it can help reduce melting if the plastic is thick.

Are the bits individually replaceable?

While the set is sold as a 25-piece collection, standard sizes can often be replaced by purchasing individual HSS bits if one is lost or broken.

Troubleshooting

Bit wandering when starting a hole

Use a center punch to create a small indentation before drilling to keep the 118-degree tip centered.

Bit becoming hot and smoking

Reduce drill RPM and apply a steady amount of cutting fluid to manage heat dissipation.

Bit struggling to penetrate material

Ensure the drill bit is not dulled; if the edge is worn, the bit should be sharpened or replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise 0.5mm size increments ensure perfect fits
  • Durable roll-forged HSS construction
  • Wide range covers virtually all standard hole requirements
  • Optimized tip geometry reduces heat build-up
  • Suitable for both professional and home workshop environments

Cons

  • Not recommended for hardened or high-tensile steel
  • Requires regular lubrication for optimal longevity
  • Metal case can be heavy to transport daily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This drill set is compatible with all standard keyed and keyless drill chucks found on corded and cordless power drills, as well as bench-mounted drill presses.

Care Instructions:

  1. Lubrication: Always apply cutting fluid or light oil when drilling metal to reduce friction and heat.
  2. Drilling Speed: Use lower RPMs for larger bit sizes to prevent burning the steel and the bit edge.
  3. Storage: Ensure bits are returned to their designated slots in the case after use to prevent corrosion and damage to the cutting edges.
  4. Cleaning: Wipe away metal shavings and oil residue with a clean rag before storing to maintain the integrity of the bits.
