Review on πŸ”§ DEWALT DW1263 14 Piece High-Speed Steel Pilot by Juan Lockwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent quality set.

In my opinion the best value for money drill set for metal drilling. I've had better kits but they also set me back a couple 20 more. I needed a decent kit because I had to drill out some pretty strong clamped bolts holding the seats that had failed in my 20 year old truck. I had a set of Dewalt titanium drill bits and broke about 5 drill bits in 10 minutes trying to drill through screws. I bought cobalt because I saw positive reviews and noticed at a home store that they only show the metal. I thought I couldn't be wrong. These bits definitely held up much better than the jammed screws and cut through them quicker, but unfortunately despite using coolant and gradually increasing the bit size, I still managed to break a few. Nonetheless, I would buy this set again. Because those damn bolts have withstood almost a full can of PB, a MAP propane torch, a heavy-duty hole punch, a masonry drill and sledgehammer, and a Dremel with a high-speed cut-off wheel. rzunimag.

Pros
  • Maximum speed and life in stainless steel and other hard metals
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
