17 Best Hex Drill Bit Set (2023 Updated)

So far these look like a very high quality product like something you would get from Milwaukee. Only time will tell if they hold up as well, but so far I am very impressed with these. I will update this if things change, but right now I don’t see that happening.

These look more like they were cut on a CNC then molded. All of the ones I have tried so far have fit perfectly. No rough edges or slightly over or undersized like most inexpensive bits.

Good set. One star off cause they fall out of my extension very easily. Guess I need to buy better extensions that are magnetic but pretty much all the other bits I have fit tighter.

These were exactly what I needed to repair an office chair with. Beats using a key to turn hex head screws. They plug right into my drill and bit holder. Couldn’t be easier to use. The steel seems much better than most off brand sets and the size selection is better than any other set I looked at.

They are all metric and sized correctly. Can’t beat the performance at this price.

Really happy with these. Have used with ratchet, screwdriver handle and torque screwdriver. Best addition to the toolbox in ages. Especially superior for the really small size allen heads, because these don’t flex.

Steel seems good.

I got this Milwaukee set to go with my inpact driver for pilot holes so I only need one tool they work really well stand. Up to the impact driver do what they are design for what more can I. Ask for I recommend them pick up a few sets.

not bad for import

Perfect. Just what I needed. Quick delivery also.

I have used screwfix for a number of years and have never felt the need to review a product until today. I bought this drill set this morning on my way to site as I didn’t want to set up my 240v SDS to drill 4 holes in a brick wall.

7mm in my impact driver and drilled the wall like butter, facing brick to be fair but so much easier! Highly recommend these drills. Given 3 stars for reliability as only used for 1 job. Hopefully they will wear well.

Just fitted new bathroom for the wife. procaine tiles and my SDS drill bits were not touching. Googled and see these and brought couple sets to try. OMG these bits what they say and went trough tile no problems, 12 holes in 20 mins.

put in my cordless drill and slow speed and I’m buying couple more boxes as the so cheap to. thank you Bosch for making my life easier.

Bought these to mount a brass plaque on a marble gravestone. They were actually a backup to a diamond drill which I thought would do the job. As it happened that didn’t work, but the Bosch drills did.

Drilling 3cm holes took some time, but they did the job on a particularly difficult material.

I bought them knowing they probably weren’t the best quality. Honestly, I wanted the case as much as anything and had had trouble finding a set like this with a case. After only a few uses the bits became very dull and almost useless.

I drilled a total of 6 holes in some 1/16th weld steel and by the 4th or 5th hole the bit was so dull it wouldn’t drill through the steel anymore. I’ll keep the case and replace the bits with better quality.

–Update: Changed from 5 stars to 3 stars– The 7/64″ bit (the one I used the most) broke after a moderate amount of use: the drill shaft came loose from the hex base. Already looking for another set or maybe just replacement drill bits.

Might still be worth getting for the case and quick change extension. ———————————————— I got this set because I got tired of constantly switching between the smaller drill bits and the 1/4″ hex screw bits.

Drill, screw, drill, screw, back and forth it got irritating, but a lot of times I didn’t want to drill all the holes at once. So far the bits have been holding up well and none of them have broken off at the hex base like some people have complained about with some other kits.

The bonus is the magnetic quick change bit is nicer than the one I had from my Dewalt kit and its got its own slot to keep it secure as well.

Considering the entire reason I ordered this online was for the T30 security bit, and now it is completely useless as a bit is not great. Security bits must have the hole or they don’t work. How could Milwaukee release a product that doesn’t do what it is explicitly intended for? Ends up being a complete waste of money for me.

The kit looks great besides that, but considering that is the only reason I ordered this kit. It is important enough considering now all the security bits you should considered unusable and so it definitely no longer becomes worth the price.

I’m an oil-tools manual machinist, and I know my cutting tools very well. The TNi coating acts as if it was painted on; drilling thru metal pretty much erases the TNi from cutting edges. If you’re serious about hole diameter size and tool life, don’t bother with these drills, as they wear FAR too quickly for serious metal removal.

Sad, but true. I bought them initially because they were right there at HF while I was purchasing a Bauer impact driver/drill, and knew the quality of TNi coating on HSS drills. These drills do NOT match up with Industry Standard TNi drills and mills.

Keep ’em for wood or plastic. Bauer impact drill kicks ass, ‘tho.

I needed some good drill bits. I prefer cobalt bits for their durability, but these appear to be quite durable while being significantly less expensive than cobalt bits. I had to drill some holes in a steel welding stock and then in a trailer frame, both of which have killed some drill bits.

I figured these would be okay, even if they failed. I was surprised to see that even after completing the job, the bits looked just about like new. Because of that, I feel confident in recommending them.

They cut really well, but have had the base come off a drill bit on one size, although I just chuck it up like a regular drill bit. The bits fall out of the index holes and are loose inside the index box when I open it after I carry in my tool bag.

The drill bits work very well, stay sharp and cut well but several are very short on flutes so need to pull out and clean out when drilling very deep. Over all barely ok when considering the issues with features and this is supposed to be HF’s highest line of tools.

The first thing to mention is the superbly thought out box which has clearly been designed to be practical in use and made to put up with all the knocks in the workshop. Inside each set of bits are removable and each bit locates positively in its holder.

All carry a label which makes identification easy especially when selecting the different star type bits. This also differentiates between the pozidrive and phillips driver bits which is not always easy.

The hex shank drills are the same as i have reviewed recently and have proved themselves even with difficult materials such as concrete lintels. There are two of each of the four common sizes, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

Having used several of the driver bits removing ‘difficult’ screws there have been no breakages yet. Good value.

I have two of these sets, they are a great small set of bits that fits inside my drill boxes (dewalt), even enough space to put a handful of extra loose bits inside. Highly recommended as a starter set or to avoid lugging around a massive box, but beware that the drill bits do not perform as well in concrete/brick as real masonry bits, I drilled some fence posts for lights and needed to often move down a size and then step back up in order to get the hole made.

This is as to be expected with any kind of non material specialised bit though, it’s always a compromise in exchange for convenience, in the same way as a combi drill is a compromise over an SDS.

Bought this set a little over two weeks ago. Upto now gone through nearly all the philips head bits. As these are the only ones i have regularly used upto now. No doubt the rest will be the same. Heads breaking without putting up with much abuse.

Hex drill bits are decent enough though but would be better to just buy these seprate than waste the money on screw drivers bits that are not going to last. Not impressed. Should have stuck with the Ebauer bits i had previous.

I thought this set was really nice with the exception being The actual drill bits that are included are cheaply made and extremely fragile!! A couple popped at the first sign of resistance! However all of the drill driver parts were impact duty and did feel of real solid quality construction.

the bit “holder” was NOT magnetic! the quick change bits fall out if not at at least a 0 degree or higher angle and was beyond frustrating!!! i am beyond shocked at the lack of quality of this set! i am very disappointed!.

Not quite as pictured but a much better design (same external size). Small enough to fit into the almost cubical aluminum case for the 12v Max drill and impact drive combo (Need to cut the foam from under the space for the charger).

Good selection of bits and most important the new design has a built in lidded box for loose bits so you can add quite a few of your own special bits. Latch and hinge are strong and break resistant. Good value.

I purchased this product because I had just bought a multi-tool Makita kit and wanted Makita brand accessories. After I received them I found that I could have gotten a better bargain buying a Dewalt bit set for a lot cheaper.

What a handy little tool set! The bits are high quality and come with a great assortment of drive types. The mini ratchet feels great, it has some heft to it despite its size. The bit holder is excellent, it positively holds bits and releases them easily by sliding the collar.

The metal case is small and compact, and more durable than the plastic cases for similar sets from other brands. The only downside is that the ratchet doesn’t hold the bit holder as well as just the bit due to weight, but not a huge deal.

I’m a transit bus operator and I carry this set daily, it’s handy for tightening up screws on the bus when out on the route instead of calling a mechanic out or having to pull back into the garage.

The Terminator Blue Impact Bit Box – Phillips #2 came in handy during my last DIY solar fan installation project. I have old bits and did not know which one fit the phillips screws to secure the solar fan to the roof.

I like how these Terminator Blue Impact Bits come in a clear and red flip top box. The flip top box fits in my pocket or in this project I put everything in a 5 gallon bucket. The Terminator Blue Impact Bits are excellent quality.

They are rated for power tools and rigorously heat-treated to produce a bit lasting 120 times the service life compared to standard bits. Furthermore, they are designed torsion zone absorbs 30 times the impact energy compared to standard bits, allowing a maximum torsion flex that goes unmatched.

I found the right bit to fit the solar fan screw. I put the bit into my impact. I fastened the screw into the solar fan and roof. I can wait to use these bits in my next DIY projects.

This review is for the Wiha Terminator Blue Impact Bit Box – Phillips #2 – 1 Inch – 20 Pack, which I use in conjunction with the Wiha impact driver. The Phillips screwdriver is my most regularly use tool, so this product is perfect for my needs.

The screwdriver tips are excellent quality and everything that you would ask for. They are precise, fits in tightly, sturdy, and strong. They come in a reusable, space-saving box with an easy-open lid.

I am thrilled to have so many replacement tips for when they will inevitably worn out. I don’t anticipate that happening for awhile as they have held up so well so far! Highly recommend!.

I bought this for my partner to go with his set of Makita power tools. Had all the necessary drill bits and extra storage underneath for other smaller tools. The macpac box is much better for organising, storing and easy pick up.

Great value for money.

Good improved makita stack box ( box clips much better) Spayed wood bits poor quality Hss drill bits good Wood bits poor Sockets good

The plastic container holding the bits inside is very fragile and won’t stand much action and I would have liked the set to contain some steel drills also. Apart from that a good set.

This item is a must have if you do any kind of work at home and even mechanic work. This can be used for almost anything you do. It comes with all the bits needed for almost any job. Screwdriver bits are something I use all the time.

It has different sizes and shapes that can be used on any project you are doing. All the other pieces are very useful to and has sizes of everything that is everyday use. I also like the case that everything is stored in, keeps things neat and in place.

Very good quality, the bits and case. Highly recommend.

Needed the triple square (12 point) 8mm for a VW Cabrio axle replacement. Checking the O’Reilly site I found that they had this set for $7. 99 which included 6/8/10/12mm – I only needed the 8mm – and it was in stock at my local store.

I was pleasantly surprised that the shaft was 1/2″ which is beefier than I expected for this price. It fit perfect in all 12 bolts once they were cleaned out. The fit was snug. I removed all 12 bolts without any issues and torqued them all back in to the recommended torque with no issues.

My daughter is back on the road and I have additional tools in my toolbox! Very happy with this purchase.

Working on a 2016 Tiguan for the first time and needed a M12 Triple Square bit to remove front wheel hubs. Visited no less than 5 stores as I needed immediately. Visited O’Reilly’s last, should have visited first as they were the only one to have it in stock.

Quality is very good. A fair price. Better than the sets that have only a 3/8 drive. Would buy again. Would make a nice gift for the mechanic in your life. I didn’t know I needed the set until it was the only option.

I could’ve used a torx but they tend to break or mess up the triple square bolt. Either way not good.
