Then it gets tossed and a new one rotates into service and more money is made. Every bit maybe helps then earn several thousand dollars. I finally threw out the couple of drill bit sets I’ve had since the 80s! The more I use my tools the more I appreciate things like blades and bits are “wear parts.” Get decent quality and when they get worn sharpen them or toss them. They are semi-consumable like driver bits. Drill bits are not forever accessories anyway. Makita B-49373 large set $25 for 75 pieces (metric only, which isn't ideal) Makita B-65399 Impact Gold $17 for 14 pieces Thanks!ĭeWalt DW1361 Titanium with pilot points $29 for 21 pieces (reviews seem mixed on HD website)ĭeWalt DW1177 Black & Gold oxides $26 for 21 pieces (again, some mixed reviews) And does titanium vs oxide, or hex vs smooth, matter much for simple woodwork? Can someone steer me in the right direction? I'm leaning to DW1342 or B-65399. Milwaukee are most expensive but I've seen people swear by the tools but not the bits. Here are some options below and I could really use some advice so I don't waste $25. Right now I'm looking at Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee kits, and would like to keep it under $30. I'm tempted by the Ryobi black oxide kits with 30-90 pieces they have a bit of everything but the comments on them seem pretty mixed. Now I have a new 20V DeWalt drill, I'm thinking Memorial Day / Father's Day is the time to upgrade the bits. I'm looking to replace my starter drill bit set (Hitachi hex shanks) given the attrition they have suffered over the past couple years of amateur/DIY-level house upkeep, the vast majority of it being woodwork.
