The Methodology: What I Considered When Picking the Drill Bit Sets Featured Above Things to Keep in Mind Before Buying This Product: The design best suits drill presses over hand drills due to a slight lack of stability.

Things I Like About This Product: A durable case is included and all of the bits have relatively small shank sizes so you can easily fit them into most drills. As mentioned earlier, having reduced shank sizes help with easy drill fitting – standard drills with up to 1/2 inch diameter chuck can work well with all of these bits. The bits included range from 1/8- to 1/2-inch and are neatly arranged in a durable storage case with a handle.īits 23/64-inch in diameter and larger have a 3/8-inch shank while the remaining ones have a 1/4-inch shank. The 25-piece Steelex D1034 brad point drill bit set uses high-speed steel so it could be more suitable for hardwood and tougher projects. Things to Keep in Mind Before Buying This Product: The bits don’t have reduced shank sizes on the largest bits so not all drill brands and models will be able to accommodate them. Additionally, the edge design and outer spurs (crown-like design) help prevent tear-outs and enhance the attachment and stability of the brad-point tip as well as the whole drill bit. Things I Like About This Product: A travel-friendly case makes it portable. Adding to the edges would be the outer spur lips to help increase the anchorage of the whole drill bit. Having the signature beveled edge on the side to help the brad-point tip hold onto wood better, it also helps to get the exact diameter drilled. Consisting of eight bits ranging from 3 mm to 10 mm (1/8- to 3/16-inch) in size, the set also comes in a case like the other Fisch picks mentioned above. Another beginner-friendly (and budget-friendly) option worth considering would be the Fisch FSF-328094 set of chrome-vanadium brad point drill bits.
