If you can live with a little hesitation, they're great.

This is Bosch so the bits are strong. They are also very convenient when the work requires frequent bit changes. The problem is that they wobble a bit, which is to be expected from any hex tool or bit. If you can live with a little hesitation, they're great.

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Disappear

Suitable for wood and soft metal

I got this to drill metal. The 1/8 inch bit is broken. Broke again after sharpening. I know what you're thinking, probably user error (high speed, too much pressure, etc.), right? Well I can't rule it out, although I was careful. But other 1/8's from other manufacturers (some sharpened, some not) still work fine with my "drilling style". However, larger sizes seem to be acceptable.

Pros
  • Power tool parts and accessories
Cons
  • Can't remember

Durable and sharp. in Electric Drill Parts & Accessories

Purchased for use with a Porter Cable Impact Wrench (also from Revain). I've tried out beats from Harbor Freight and Walmart and swept up a lot of broken beats. I've put these bits through the same duties with no problem - and they went through ⅛ inch steel strapping like cheese. Hard cheese, but cheese. Part of the durability may be due to the short length - the smaller bits in this set are about half the length of comparable bits in cheaper OTTO sets, they all look long enough for any…

Pros
  • Twist Drill Bit
Cons
  • I will add later
