Bosch SP508 Shank Screw Pilot Review

They are too short and when I first saw them I thought of returning them but in most cases they were long enough. Then they turned out to be very boring and unfaithful. My cobalt conical countersinks (Lowe brand) are much better in every way, but only if you need a taper. Otherwise, it's a throwback to the old-fashioned way. I expected more from Bosch.

Bosch is a household name with many reliable tools. I have their hammer drills and drill bits which are fantastic. This product, on the other hand, is absolute junk. Drill bit #6 broke completely in half at the start of sinking. Don't waste money. I should have gone with a different set. It's not worth it.

Should have bought these a few years ago. Works MUCH better than just drilling a pilot hole with a regular drill bit. Cleaner, neater, more precise; will no longer crack/burst/dent when the screw head is in place. OK. There is also a good selection of the most commonly used sizes. (It's almost a shame they didn't come with some kind of case; I keep them together in a little plastic container.)

It is very annoying to switch off the drill after drilling. These bits won't snap into the 1/4 hammer drill chuck and it's just annoying. They don't come with a bit holder or box, so you'll have to come up with your own storage. They don't chew at work either; they seem a bit boring. In general, I expected more from Bosch.
