MaxTool60 Pieces Drill Set 60PCs/60-Piece Twist Drill Bit Set High Speed Steel M2 Fully Ground Wire Gauge/Number 1-60; JBS02H10R060

The package arrived within 2 days of ordering! The drill bit set came shipped in an Amazon bubble shipping envelope. After reading a few reviews I was expecting to see the drill bits out of the drill index box and scattered about. All of the bits were in place when I opened the box to inspect them. The shortest bit measured about 1 5/8”, longest is 3 3/4” I am using them to drill pilot holes through red oak trim woodwork. I needed these because a standard fractional bits did not match the diameter of my trim nails I am using. These work perfectly. I am pleased with these bits. I will consider purchasing a letter size drill bit set next from this manufacturer and supplier.

EDIT: Two weeks later and the price of this set has jumped an incredible 39%. My review and satisfaction with these bits stands but it's no longer such a bargain so compare your needs vs a set that costs a little more but may be made of better steel.I am not a machinist but I have become a bit of a drill bit snob to where I am very willing to pay the higher prices of high quality US made drill bits - because they are almost always much better in quality of steel and quality of manufacture. I bought this Maxtool set of wire gauge bits with great hesitation but the reviews seem legit and customer photos show a higher-than-typical quality and looked better than what the product photos show. I have to say that I am extremely impressed and these are a bargain, well worth your money. They are not perfect, nor are they the most durable HSS, but they are a quality steel, excellent overall and I don't regret this purchase at all. If Maxtool offered these in an M7 or M35 steel, I'd buy them.They arrived properly oiled, all the bits where they should be (actually the provided index looks plenty good enough to keep them all in place even with some rattling but I replaced it with a traditional index since it's more compact and I'm used to that style). I laboriously measured each and every one repeatedly with a Starrett 120A dial caliper, inspected tips and grinds, and gave them all a table-roll-test. First, each one of these is ground correctly and very nicely - nary a bur to be seen and the splits are done right. The inside of the flutes have a little grinding texture (not a bad thing necessarily) but the lands and margins are smooth and sharp. I didn't check the point angles but they all look right to me, even the smallest bits in the range.I tested five of them, 5-7 holes each, in 6061 and some 14ga and 1/4" mild steel of some kind. The bits cut great under varying feeds and a couple of them got some abuse with heavy pressure, no lube. One got an abusive tangential hole/edge that caused it to wander and chatter - expected, and the hole was bad of course, but the bit did great, came out unscathed. The finish on these bits isn't especially durable compared to what I'm used to with US bits, but it's not terrible and for anything but aluminum or stainless that is of little consequence anyway if you're not in production. These did gall a little and cling to the aluminum of course, as expected. Once chucked up, all the bits I tested spun true and started drilling true on the surfaces. Exit bur was very minimal (no backer).If I were to nitpick one thing - which I don't want to and which matters exactly zero - it would be that the cut end (base) of the bits is sometimes a little rough or the chamfers are wavy but to be fair I have seen that in US bits from time to time as well.Now the important part: sizing. I'm dinging one star because two bits (16 and 35) were quite undersized at .1745 and .108, respectively. Nearly every other bit is spot on accurate although there were a handful that were .0005-.001 undersized (which for most of us won't matter at all and/or will be negated by runout and vibration in the tool itself). Those two bits are oddballs in the set and I actually wonder how that can happen given what I know about how bits are manufactured. Anyway, no regrets and I think I'd heartily recommend these bits for most people and most uses - really a bargain and light years ahead of all the other cheaper wire gauge bits I've seen on the market, and certainly as good or better than some higher priced imported sets. 135 degree points to boot, I don't think you can go wrong choosing this set. Pleasant surprise for me.

Drill bits work very well in steel, cast iron and brass. The metal box is well made. The drill numbers on the box are a bit hard to see as they are behind the drill bits, but this is a minor issue.I am pleased with these drill bits.

Missing drill #57. Drills 4, 6, and 7 were the same diameter (so I am missing 4 and 7). Generally #45 to #1 the drills were 0.002 inches smaller in diameter than they should have been. From #46 to #60 the drills were about 0.0005 inches smaller in diameter than they should have been. I am using the drills for hobby purposes so I am not going to send them back. If you are looking for precision you should spend more money on a better quality set. I rated them 3 for durability because I have not used them yet. If durability turns out like the sizes, missing drills, etc. then a 3 is what I expect.

I'm an A&P mechanic and I use these almost every day. I've used these bits for about two months. They go through aluminum and steel rivets like a hot knife through butter. Great selection of bits, very sharp and most important they aren't brittle. Very impressed so far.

Nice set of drills. Case a little confusing, but after a while OK. So far the drills I have used worked very good and were nice and sharp.

The 5 stars are based on the price of the drills, for the money, this is a 5-star product. I am sure there are better bit s for sale for a lot more money. I used them to drill tapping holes, in 1" mild steel I had to drill 15 holes and the bit performed fine I used cutting fluid on the bit and they stood up fine, I didn't need to sharpen and it was still making a good chip on the last hole so I am pleased, also pre-drilled with a small bit.

I bought this and another set from the same seller. They covers the whole sets together from very tiny ones to the huge ones. My husband is installing a deck for us. There is a lot of drilling. He likes the sets. They are strong, smooth and fast, Very handy. Love it!JL

They are as good as any other drills that I've used in machine shops, I have no problem at all with them

At this point I have not used . purchased for tapping holes ect. having nothing to tap at this pointThe look good comes in a metal case ??

After contacting several of the suppliers in this area I found out that none of them handled numbered drillbits. Although I didn’t need a complete index the price seemed reasonable and decided to go ahead with the purchase. So far I have only used a couple of the number of beds but seem to perform well.

Received my order in reasonable time and everything was neatly organized in the case. Even with it open you would have had to shake quite vigorously to get any of the drill bits to fall out.Anyway, quite pleased with the purchase. Haven't had much opportunity to put it to use yet but I'd say it's about perfect for the hobbyist/tinkerer.

Bonjour, j'ai acheté ce produit parce que, il y a quelques mois, à voir dans mes anciennes commandes, j'ai acheté chez-vous un produit similaire pour forer de l'acier trempé et votre produit était un gros zéro et toutes les forets sont allés à la poubelle. Donc j'ai perdu l'argent de mon achat. Je n'ai pas essayer encore cette nouvelle commande parce que je n'ai pas de projets en ce moment , mais j'espère que je ne serai pas déçu, pour la raison très simple que je ne serai plus votre client.
