DEWALT Drill Bit Set, Brad Point, 6-Piece (DW1720) , Black

These brad point bits are perfect for putting holes in cheese, resulting in a low-cost alternative to expensive Swiss cheese. They're also pretty handy at drilling holes in reasonable materials, such as wood and sheet metal. Specifically, I bought these to drill a series of holes in sheet metal that needed precise positioning. The brad tip helped place the bit in the exact place I needed it, and there wasn't more than a millimeter of error. The cutting edge stayed sharp throughout my whole project, DeWalt is a wonderful company that makes high-quality products.

Nice drill bit set, very sharp

First time drilling for a craft idea I have. These drill bits are sharply cut. The brad point helps with centering on the sides of cut branches. They drilled through very well; even fibrous bittersweet vines. The set had four of the sizes I needed. The other two are handy duplicates that I can use as well. It seems they'll be durable. Price is reasonable. Best of all, I saved myself the hassle of trying to make sense of what was available at the big box home repair stores.

These are a "you get what you pay for" tool. You don't pay much, and you get mediocre accuracy, at best. I gave them an overall of 4 stars because they are so cheap, and for rough purposes that price makes sense. I will use them a lot, and will not feel bad about beating on them down the road if need be. It's nice to have a set of bits that you can be rough with. I didn't buy these for drilling precision holes, but I had hoped they would be a bit better. The pictured holes are drilled with a drill press, at the correct speeds, and using a nice 1/4in plug cutter you can see the difference between the 1/4in DW bit ($14 for a set of 6), and a 1/4in bit ($6 for a single bit) of a more expensive brand. The DW bit is oversized, and the plug just falls in there and would not have great glue surface for bonding, and would require some dust and glue, which would defeat the point of a matching grain plug, as it would essentially highlight it. I bought these to use for rougher purposes, where my hole doesn't need to be super accurate, but I am already a little dissapointed in the durability, even at this price. I have drilled probably 80 holes with the 1/4in bit, and the brad point itself is already quite blunt. All holes were drilled at the correct RPM with the correct feed rate, so it was all done under pretty good conditions. I struggled to rate these because they are a good value for projects where you don't need high levels of accuracy, but also aren't super accurate. I won't feel bad about sticking these in my hand drill and going to town, whereas I would cringe if I was doing that with my nicer, drill press only brad point bits. I tested every bit and none of them were accurate compared to my more expensive bits. I think this could be a mix of actual sizing, as well as machining tolerances that may produce a very small amount of wobble, increasing the size of the hole just a tad. All of them left holes slightly larger than they should be. Over time, you will need to make sure your punch hole is decently sized, as the tip gets more blunt it needs more reference surface to guide it in.

Really good quality bits, exactly what you would expect from Dewalt. Sharp and straight.

Quieres una brocas eternas que te sierva para madera y plastico, esta es la broca, anos de uso y estan iguales,

A classic DeWalt 6-piece brad point drill bit set (DW1720) covering 1/8" through 1/2" — clean packaging, sharp tips and that signature DeWalt build quality you can count on. The bits are sharp, accurate and cut cleanly through wood without splintering — exactly what you want from brad point bits. Build quality is solid as expected from DeWalt and they've held up well with regular use. For doweling and precise woodworking holes these perform perfectly. The only wish is that the set covered more sizes — the jump between some of the included sizes leaves a few common dimensions missing. A larger set would make it truly comprehensive. That said for the sizes included this is a top quality set that's hard to fault — a reliable addition to any workshop.

The brand is always good, original.
