These are the best Drill Bits I have ever used!
I have burned up many drill bits in the past, and for the price these are the best. These bits alleviate the drill bit change from having to drill a pilot hole when using larger bits. Every hole is dead on. No drill bit traveling or pulling of the wood or steel. I have used these bits to drill through wood, 1/4″ steel plate and plastic. I have had no problems with any of the materials. The holes are straight and clean and right on the measurements that I needed. If you require an accurate hole being drilled, then there is no other drill bit to be using.
Update (5/18/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Drill bits get stuck in the wood
Pros:
- 1/64″ steps
- Very nice plastic case
- “No spin” hex shank (also lets larger bits fit 3/8″ chucks)
- Pilot point works as advertised
Cons:
- Gold Ferrous Oxide instead of TiN
- More shank and less flute than your average drill bit
- Design aggressively chews up wood badly (with tear out on exit)
- Not good for soft woods (works better with harder woods)
- Flutes seem less sharp than other brands
- Too much heat concentrated at pilot point risks burning the bit
- Halfway down, bits bite hard into the wood (especially the larger ones) and cause the drill to screw itself into the wood until the chuck hits requiring you to backout and try again. This is very frustrating and is a major design flaw in my opinion. As such these bits are not well suited to hand drills.
If you are set on this purchase, consider the package with the measuring tape:
DEWALT DW1969TM Heavy Duty 29-Piece Pilot Point Set with FREE Tape Measure
Or the 25pc Black Oxide version with the normal tip:
DEWALT DW1164 25 Piece Black Oxide Drill Bit Set
Note there also exists a cobalt version with the Pilot Point tip:
DEWALT DW1269 29 Piece Cobalt Pilot Point Metal Drill Bit Index Set

best bits for the money
For any use, go around, what are the best drill bits for the money. I wish it had a layer of titanium nitride, instead of a layer of ferrous oxide gold. The stem of non-spin is great for keyless chucks on hand drills. The point driver allows both right and bore right. The only drawback with a pilot point design is that it is virtually impossible to sharpen a bit dull at the same form. Maybe one day come out with a Drill Doctor drill bit size to emphasize the pilot points.
