Nice little drill set reason for the 4 stars is getting the drills out is a pain in the ***

We have a loss problem in our household where pretty much every tool or piece of hardware gets lost at some point, typically to be found some days, weeks, or months later in an inexplicable location, but sometimes never to be seen again. And with things like drill bits, that effect is even more pronounced and occurs more quickly. As a result, I’d taken to buying cheap drill bits that get stripped on first use or break on the fourth or fifth use, and I’d recently been questioning my weighting of how much we’d value good quality parts versus how likely it is that we’d lose them within the first couple of days. It’s probably because I’ve always bought the bargain bin drill bitgs that I’ve only ever gotten them in those cheap plastic cases that break, just like the bits, within a few days of purchase. After that, my drill bits have always come tumbling out into whatever tool box or belt I’m using at that time, which no doubt is a huge part of why they all get lost.This product tempted me on two fronts. The obvious one of a locking case for the bits, and the titanium coated set that are advertised as being able to drill through nearly everything I ever want to drill through. And I am very happy to say that several weeks in, I not only still have every single bit (and they’re even in the proper places in the case!!), but I have also used them to drill in metal, something I’d attempted only once before with disastrous results. These bits made it seem like I was drilling through plywood, and they didn’t look even a bit worse for wear afterward. I’m thrilled, but I recognize that it may be my low level of expectations that led to this glowing review. Others who have more experience with really good bits may have a different take. But for casual DIY types, I think these are a downright bargain and are much better than bargain bin quality.

They are nice drill bits. I have only really used for a thin aluminum piece and some dense wood pieces and I had zero issues. It is almost impossible to get these out of the case which is the only negative aspect I have with the set.

This product is made of cheap materials. The first time I used two of the bits they broke in half. I’ve had tap sets before and never had this problem.

This is a decent set of drillbits for the price. I have used them on wood only so far but they seem to be doing a fine job.

These drill bits work great on wood and aluminum. I was impressed how they did not skip or walk on aluminum. I am used to using a punch to start a hole on metal and this was not needed.I did an aluminum hole first and that went fast. I then did a thin stainless hole and it worked. Drilling the aluminum yet again it was slower. Touching the tip of the bit after it cooled down you could feel it had lost the crisp sharpness of the other bits. I doubt they would hold up on multiple holes in stainless steel, but would be fine for normal use.The packaging says TIN coated, but I think and hope they mean TiN coated, which is a ceramic coating. Also the bits fit in the case so tightly you can drop it and the bits won't fly out. I almost used a pair of pliers to get a bit out.

Kik Drill Bits and Screwdriver setMy husband’s collection of drill bits and screwdriver bits are scattered and disorganized. Seeing this see, it looked like a good replacement for a “do over” for his toolbox.The Good:• This is a “quick change” set, which is probably the handiest feature I’ve seen for bits and screwdriver sets. Put the adapter on the far left in the kit into your screwdriver. After that, all of the screw bits and drills just insert into the adapter. No more adjustments.• The rotating black collar around the adapter rotates as you are drilling. This means that you can hold onto that collar as you are drilling to get better accuracy. This is awesome. Instead of trying to direct the screw ot bit from the drill, you can guide it by holding the collar close to your work.• A good assortment of sizes of drills and bits.• The adapter fits my pink girlie Skil driver with no adjustments at all.• Great sturdy case that locks. It is also bright red to make it easier to find on the work bench.The Bad:• NothingThe “Could Be Better:”• NothingGRADESPrice: A -I got the 20 piece set. This is a great price for this set.Ease of use: A+ -Amazingly easy to use.Performance: A -We put together a project using two power drills. They both performed well with the bits and screws. No slips or problems.We have decided to give this set a place in the kitchen “handy drawer” because we plan to use it often. This is a great and fast bit and screw set.
