Review: Sharp! - I have a Jeep JK, and as every jeep owner knows the two piece OEM lug nuts are trash. Eventually, they will go, and when they do you will be cussing. Five lug nuts across both front wheels had the chrome cover separate, and rounded off. I put a breaker bar with a nut extractor on them, and they broke off leaving the base. Nothing to do at that point but drill the studs out. I went to the big box store L***s, they had the Dewalt Elite cobalt drills, and I bought some to use for this job. They were great, but the store is way overpriced. These bits do not specifically say "Elite" but they are in all respects identical appearance wise. These bits claim to be cobalt, and they are, and they are also a great value for the money. No they didn't go through those studs like hot butter, no bit will, but they did leave 6 inch long spirals of the steel they were cutting. Sharp. They got a tough job done with a minimum of fuss. I used Tap Magic to keep them cool, and it did the trick. The bits stayed so cool I could touch them to the back of my hand when I removed them to add more Tap Magic. I also went slow, these bits didn't really like VERY slow, so I adjusted my speed as fast as they would cut, and stay cool. They have a sweet spot, you will have to find it. They only gripes I have are the smaller bits dont clean out well, so I had to periodically pull them from the stud and spin them fast to throw off the metal chips, usually when they stopped cutting because it was clogged. And if Dewalt has a .5 inch bit like these I couldn't find it. Get them if you need good bits for steel, you wont be disappointed. Review: Cuts metal for an amateur like me - I occasionally need to drill some holes in metal to make restoration parts for antiques. Like a custom bracket here, a hidden bracing piece there. Try it with regular drill bits, the kind that come with a drill or with a "1000 tools in a 10 inch box" kind of thing. Forget it, they turn to mush, they're not meant for metal even if they say so on them. I made some messes and started some cutting oil fires, that kind of thing. So I asked a friend who works on fancy doors what he does for all the holes he has to drill in things that are metal. So what I found out is use "Cobalt" (still contains steel) bits, press really hard, and put the drill on really low speed. I knew I didn't want to pay $$$ for whatever he uses in his pro work. He admitted his bits are so precious they come packed individually. How to do this but only occasionally? So having been very pleased with Dewalt stuff in the past (my hand drill and job site saw are from them for example), I decided that a small multi-pack from a reputable brand like this would be a good bet. It was. These drill through metal sheeting with my plain 15 year old Dewalt hand drill. We're talking like millimeters in my case. So I do not know what would happen if you tried it on a hunk of railroad rail or something like that. I drill things like an extra hole in things about as thick as a shelf bracket or less. Makes a clean round hole. Punch first, then push hard and drill slowly, right into some backing material like cheap pine scraps, and a few swipes with say 150 grit sandpaper to make sure there are no burrs and you're set. So for a relatively low price, I got the result I wanted. And it's real Dewalt, so you're not just punting, yet it costs about the same as random cheap sets on here. Importantly, the benefits of it occurred to an amateur like myself, who doesn't drill metal regularly but needs it to work when he needs it. ## Features - Connectable accessory storage system to optimize storage space of drill bits for wood, metal or i-beams - Patented bit-bar design allows easy removal of drill bits and customizable placement - DEWALT drill bit set comes with clear lid allowing you to easily see contents at glance - Clip latch for secure closing - Small Bulk Storage size fits inside the Small and Medium ToughCase+ (sold separately) - Ideal for organizing loose bits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015J5HU4Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,022 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #7 in Wood Drill Bit Sets | | Brand | DEWALT | | Brand Name | DEWALT | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,488 Reviews | | Cutting Angle String | 135 degrees | | Finish Type | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Finish Types | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911410861 | | Included Components | DWA1240 - (14) Piece Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set | | Item Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.74 x 8.75 inches | | Item Type Name | Tool | | Item Weight | 362 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8.75 x 1.74 x 8.75 inches | | Manufacturer | DEWALT | | Material | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Minimum Bore Diameter | 3 millimeters | | Model | DWA1240 | | Number of Flutes | 2 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 14 | | Part Number | DWA1240 | | Point Style | Pilot Point | | Set Name | 14-Piece | | Shank Type | Straight | | Surface Recommendation | Alloy Steel,Iron,Metal,Metals,Stainless,Stainless Steel,Steel | | Tool Flute Type | Spiral | | UPC | 885911410861 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DEWALT - **Cutting Angle String:** 135 degrees - **Finish Type:** Cobalt Alloy Steel - **Material:** Cobalt Alloy Steel - **Shank Type:** Straight ## Images ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BWpyJf16L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What % cobalt?** A: The manufacturer states that this set is 8% cobalt, which would make this set grade M42.
