With Christmas coming, I would like to get a good set of drill bits. I don't need specialty bits, just regular old drill bits for drilling metal, usually less than 1/2" thickness. I would like to get a set from 1/16" - 1/2" but with a 3/8" shank to fit my cordless drill. What brand/kind of bits do you recommend? I see all types with titanium, chromium, HSS, black oxide, etc. I'm looking for a good reliable set that doesn't dull the first time I use it.
What have you had good luck with? Thanks. Warrrenoliver |
