20 Best Wood Drill Bit Set (2023 Updated)

I’m a fan of the Irwin Marples sub-brand. High quality at a lower price point.

Irwin tools are great and under heavy use have never failed me!

I tried drilling 2” hole in wood posts and didn’t even get 1/4” before the teeth were gone and it had Burd up!

This is a great set. Cuts considerably better than any other set I have. Only issue I have is that I ordered these based off of a YouTube video recommendation by Stumpy Nubs specifically for projects that required flat bottom cuts, like shot glass holders.

The description I read for these even made that claim. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case and I basically shelled out a considerable amount of more money for an upgrade. If I was a professional, then yes, the difference is definitely worth it.

But as a wk end hobbyist…really wish the description was better.

Smooth cuts and machined nicely. The holes are so much cleaner than several other brands I’ve tried – the difference is immense. Only complaint is that the wooden box doesn’t quite close correctly; appears the foam isn’t deep enough in a few places.

But that’s something I can work around, not a big deal, nor does it adversely affect the bits at all.

I was looking for a quality 29 piece brad point set and found this very reasonably priced set. Fisch quality is apparent as you look at the bits. I have always been happy with Fisch bits.

I haven’t used many of the bits in the short time I’ve owned them but I can say they are very sharp and work great! Hopefully they will hold up. I am glad to finally buy a decent set instead of bargain bits.

Great Quality. Amazing Deal For All Of These Tools. Highly Recommend Ordering This Set From This Company. ThankYou. Looking Forward To Using My New Tools.

hubby uses this alot. he thinks it;s great!

really good assortment of what you should need for most jobs around the house.

Great drill drive kit for the price , works great.

These are good quality and have been working really with my wood working projects

I removed 3 large trees. Stump grinding was difficult because of location. I drilled several holes in each stump and killed them with chemicals. A year later I found the tree stumps, though dead, didn’t deteriorate much.

I used these wood augers to drill more holes for expedited rot. The cutting area of the auger (the shiny horizontal part in the photo) was just right, not too thick (doesn’t cut well), not too thin (chips easily).

Self feeding worked well. So far I drilled about 100 holes with 1″ auger. No dulling noticed yet.

I have a lot of different drill bit sets. A 125 PC HSS, self centering, countersink, Skil bit set and a few others. Problem is, several of them dumped out and I took the liberty of measuring them with my NEW igaging calibrated caliper.

Others had some variance in diameter. These were SPOT-ON. For wood bits, I wasn’t sure what to expect from them. If you need to go digging through some wood. These will work. As always I have a suggestion.

If you have access to the opposite side of the board. Drill until the threads start to poke through, flip it over and finish. There will be no tear-out and a clean bore. Including a picture of my measurements.

These worked slick for my electrical wiring project. I had spade bits the last time and that was tedious. These are fast. My 1-inch drill bit threads wore off after 2 holes, which had to be a defect since I’ve had no problems with the others.

Great set for the DIYer.

I only used one bit so far, it worked very cleanly in pine. Not sure about cutting hardwood but I can’t see that being an issue considering how sturdy the bits are. I’m definitely not a professional woodworker but it worked extremely well for what I needed it for.

These Hyper Tough wood drill bits are amazing! They’ve helped make drill precise holes with ease and are extremely durable with all types of wood!

This drill bit set is excellent qualtiy, good value and certalinly meets my needs and expectations.

Great set. Fantastic price. Use daily at work for the last month and have found to be great quality.

Great set of drill bits that have worked really well for my Bosch drill, good range of sizes especially for the price.

The bits are what I ordered. However, the case is not what is pictured. The photo shows a vinyl case which each grouping [3] of bits hinged to the left. What I received is a case made of metal and there is no hinging on the groupings.

The bits do not hinge making it difficult in both knowing their size but also in the removal of the bits. It would be nice to deliver what you have pictured.

The drill bit set is great! But whomever designed the metal box needs their butt kicked. The case will slam closed on your fingers. UPDATE: Get the $15. 00 Huot Drill Bit Index on Home Essentials Direct! Made the switch and Dewalt shiet metal index is in the trash.

Happy days are here again!.

DeWalt pilot point drill bits are incredible for drilling thin metal. My 3/8″ cordless drill will easily power a 1/2″ bit through 1/8″ steel in one shot – no pre-drilling smaller holes. A real time saver.

Because of the grind they are difficult to sharpen, but they last a long time. This is my third set. My complaint is that DeWalt cheapened the index. It is very difficult to see the drill size on the back rows.

The larger drills are difficult to get in and out. This index is stamped, thin gauge sheet metal, of a different design than drill indexes have been since they began making them. Very difficult to use.

I purchased this set after my hand drill broke and it’s replacement does not take the square shank. I was surprised how it’s tapered shape reduces binding from debris. I found them to be better than longer fluted bits however it’s shank length is not long enough without use of an extension.

So it’s why I give it 4/5 stars.

I needed something to drill in to very hard old wood, non of my bits would even touch it so tried these, and boy am I glad I did, used with an impact driver and it blew my mind how easy they went through 4inch.

A really great set of drills for a good price.

I typically use these for running electrical lines. They self feed, meaning they pull into the wood so that you don’t have to push. You only have to push a bit at the end to get through the last part of the wood.

You have to make sure that you have a powerful enough drill to get through your wood. I tried it with a cordless 18volt drill, as I was in an area with no electricity. The drill did not have enough torque to finish the hole.

The next time I’m out of town I will bring my generator and a hole hawg to get the job done. Also, the other reviewer is correct. they should be thicker to fit a 1/2″ chuck instead. Also, stay away from any metal (nails, tracking.

) as the bits will dull easily.

This drill and driver set is a nice grouping of useful driver bits and drill bits. The case is nice and helps keep everything organized when on the move or in the shop.

I gave it a 4star bc these bits aren’t magnetic. If these bits were magnetic I’d give them 5stars with out even thinking twice about it

Just used my Bosch drive 34 piece kit today to fix an old family chair I happen to be sitting on at this time. Yep ! I am still sitting I guess it worked just fine. come on just how exactly does one review this item, it is what it is and does what it does or it doesn’t.

The shank and drillbit are two separate parts. It will separate off while drilling. Waste of time and money.

Each bit snapped off once it connected with hardwood. Only use for softwood like pine. Total waste of money then again I suppose you get what you pay for but I would expect more than a single use. Dont bother purchasing this item or wasting your money.

For the price, excellent! Ive used them a dozen times or so and they are still as sharp as a razor.

Let me explain. If you want to drill a fast hole- through a joist etc- these are great- the bit does the work for you- pulling itself effectively through the wood. If you want control- like drilling a hole for a door latch in a door- then use an ordinary side bit- before you knacker the door with hole at a not so 90 degree angle- or at least that was my experience.

The bit, in this case had a mind of it’s own. So horses for courses, I suppose. Good to have in the toolkit- but ones to be used with caution.

These are excellent Drill bits even when used on hard wood. Very sharp with little splintering on exit. Really impressive compared to ordinary flat blade type. They come in a nice little case too to protect them in your tool box.

I would definitely recommend them.

These are Bosch drill bits so they are strong durable and sharp. However they need to be used with care because the screw point draws the bit into the wood, and for hardwoods that can create a problem.

Firstly, make sure the work piece is securely clamped or fixed. Never attempt to use these bits with a drill press or pillar drill because in that case you have two fixed items which try to pull themselves together as the screw bites, and something has to give.

To keep control of drilling speed, drill a pilot hole to clear the screw point. A big point is made about how quickly these bits cut. On softwood carpentry that might be a bonus, but I’m more concerned about quality of cut and breakout on the reverse, so need to retain control.

Pretty extraordinary value even considering some obscure little used items. I appreciate the multiples of common bits and common driver tips. The down side is the actual case. First issue is how hard it is to extract the smaller drill bits from the molded slot.

I can’t even figure out how they got them in without bending or breaking. Secondly is the over packaging waste of the molded case. Considering the cost of the case it would be really attractive to get this assortment with a more minimal packaging.

Five star for the price and quality of the case. Three star for the quality of the bits doesn’t take long to wear them out. Wished there was more variety of sizes instead of multiple of the same bits.

Great set for around the house!.

This was ordered to compliment the ryobi tools I have, the reviews on it seemed worth the money compared to sets in uk. The set is very comprehensive and well packaged. Only a week from the states to get here.

I’m very impressed.

A must for for doing work in your shop, house or car. It is a great assortment of bits used on a variety of screws , wood and metals.

This is a good drill bit set.

Good product, highly recommend Ryobi products.

Can’t argue with the value and variety in this kit and the case is pretty decent. it does stack on other cases but doesn’t lock together. The bits are as good or better than most I’ve used, though I do question the thin “torque absorption zone” as it strikes me as more of marketing cover for reduce material cost during manufacturing than saving bits from damage.

Couple of potential improvements to these kits as a storage solution could be considered. If the case was some how packout compatible or if the packout storage cups were compatible with the removeable bit holders from these kits, that would be amazing.

Also having extra bit holders available to order if we wanted to re-arrange the storage in these kits. If OPT could kick that can up the hill to the product developers from Milwaukee, that would be great!.

I, mostly use this box to house the bits I prioritize for work. Which are the tinier ones for PCs and servers. But the general box set has just been great for all around work. Used the PH3 to unscrew an old screw that’s been rounded.

It worked great until the middle of the screw showed its head and was determined to be too rusty and couldn’t withstand the force of unscrewing anymore. So. the pro is that it can still screw a partially rounded screw head.

it’ll obviously break the screw if it’s not up to getting unscrewed and removed. Hahaha. But my favorite thing about this set has been the magnetized holders AND the little organizers (especially the short ones) so that I can organize my work-prioritized bits for computers and other smaller electronic devices.

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction to purchase more of those rubber organizers so that I can add one more layer of bits into my work packout. Thanks!.

I bought this a while back for my husband since it appears every time he’s looking to fix something he can’t find his set. Now he can have this on hand, and when he’s completed his task he can place each bit right back in the case.

This bit set is a great buy, and to be honest every home should have one on hand. The other day he was fixing a cabinet and used one of the bits. He mentioned he really like this kit a lot since it has so many bits he didn’t have already.

However, he did say he noticed it was a little hard to remove some of the bits from the case but, that wasn’t a big deal! He also said it was easy to insert them into his drill. I like that it has so many sizes, a nice holder inside to keep each bit organized.

and each bit is labeled with the size on it and Milwaukee signature logo. So once you’re finished, you can place it right back in its spot within the case. Inside this Milwaukee 40 piece Shockwave Drill & Drive Set you will see: Hex Bit 1″ 1/4″, Phillips bit 2″ P2 (4), Phillips bit 2″ P3, 3/16″ Shockwave Hex Drive Bit, Shockwave Hex Drive Bit, Phillips Bit 1″ P3, Phillips Bit 1″ P2, Phillips Bit 1″ P1, Slotted 1″ No.

8 Bit, 1/8″ Drill Bit, 3/8″ Socket Adapter, 3/8″ Magnetic Nut Driver, Insert 1/2″ Socket Adapter, Hex bit 1″ 3/16″, Hex Bit 1″ 5/32″, 5/16 Magnetic Nut Driver, Shockwave Compact Magnetic Bit Holder, 1/4″ Magnetic Nut Driver, Hex Bit 1″ 1/8″, Phillips Reduced 1″ PR2 Bit, Slotted 1″ No.

10 Bit. that’s a lot of bits way more than what we had. Plus, Milwaukee has always been known for its quality products and let me say. this set is made of good quality steel. I feel I can fix anything myself without the worries of stripping or slipping due to the 40 Pc Shockwave Drill & Drive Set forged tip that allows for a secure grip and maximum contact.

I think we both have found our next brand of tools to add to our collection. The most important thing to me being a woman is they are easy for me to use also!!.

Needed the extra length on this bit to bore 1. 5″ further beyond a 3. 5″ pilot hole (1/2″ diam), to make a full pass through a post (4×4) and cross member (1. 5″ thick). Pilot hole took 10 seconds using a standard pilot bit.

With this “speed feed” bit, applying full strength on the back of the drill, it took over 1. 5 minutes to go half as far, i. e. 20x slower, and required many manual pickings of chip matter out of the drill head.

I’ve had to pause the project until I can get a bit that works. The problem seems to be that the treated lumber clogs the bit channels, so the bit basically turns into a cylinder head. Researching the problem, I saw some references to “clean wood” in some of the online product specs, but found nothing prominent on the product packaging about it (poor packaging design).

The packaging should make this clear, in BIG PRINT. Maybe I should have done more research or read the fine print, but I didn’t expect this to be complicated, and unfortunately this experience soured me on the brand.

I bought this 6pc set but mine came in a convenient canvas pouch. I completely disagree with the other reviews of these bits. Ive had mine for almost 2 years and have NEVER had the cutting tips clog up.

And I have to pay close attention if I’m not drilling all the way through a post because once these bits get a bite they are coming out the other side, and quickly. I’ve build several large decks and used these bits to drill holes in the preasure treated posts for large carriage bolts and haven’t had any problems whatsoever.

I need to say that I am using the M18 Hole Hawg drill and that thing is a beast!.

I purchased this bit set with the impression that it would fly through wood with ease. I tested them out on a simple pallet and they would drill fast but would not break through the other side unless I pushed as hard as I could.

I was hoping these would make drilling a lot easier but they ended up being more of a gadfly than anything. I gave it two stars because they do look cool just didn’t perform how I was expecting.

These bits are great for the price. They make clean holes and are fairly easy to sharpen with a file if they get dull. I think they are a good buy especially if you don’t have a budget for the high dollar sets.

I have no issue with the product. In fact I have no issue with Factory Direct Supply. My problem is with the USPS. The package was sent USPS 3-day priority. I received the package on October 14th (or 15th), i.

e. two weeks. Where we live we no longer get daily mail. Typically 1 or 2 days a week are missed, sometimes 2 days in a row. FDS needs to change its carrier.

Heavy duty. Cuts like a knife through butter!

The shank is small and light duty. Not at all capable of holding up to contractors duties. Wont use. Cant recommend
