Review on πŸ”© DEWALT Industrial Cobalt Pilot Bit DWA1240 by Bennie Wilks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get out of the way of the titanium shit!

Received this on my Revain wish list as a Christmas present. These are by far the BEST drill bits I've ever had. I've used them for auto work (including drilling out broken bolts on an engine and drilling new bolt holes!), on the porch, use them for roofing, electrical and other applications. You name it, my drill was there. In 8 months of use I've only broken one of the tiny ones (and I take some of the blame, I drilled something at an angle and it broke). Result; fantastic exercises. Literally almost indestructible if you have a clean, straight drilling technique and use oil when drilling metal. I've bought so many drill bits in the past that they've all broken one way or another. I broke all those stupid black oxide titanium bits. Cobalt is where the money is. Buy them and they will last you a long time if you take care of them.

Pros
  • Industrial strength cobalt for optimum metal life and durability
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
