The smaller sizes are duplicated, (i.e. All in all a very terrific set. Very nice. This drill bit set has a handy, rugged, and compact case to keep the bits organized and sharp, which they are, very sharp. As a construction professional, I demand the utmost from my tools.
The only thing that would have made it better for me would be having 2 1/4" bits, but that's just because that is the most common size I tend to drill. Tools that do not perform when you need them are worthless. 1/8" and lower sizes have 2) which is helpful since they are typically the ones that get broken most often. Highly recommend. You get a back up bit right out of the box.
basically the drill bits were slow to burr through 1/2 inch plywood and then a doug fir 2 / 4, and two of them snapped without much effort. At least they were cheap
Second job, pre-drilling nail holes in oak trim, on the bench in my workshop. Be warned. Of course, the other bit in the same size finished without any problems. Not with these bits, which walk like a dog right out of a punch mark. My first disappointing experience with these was drilling a door jamb to relocate a striker plate.
Both of these things tell me there's a quality control issue. Needs a little precision, right. Simple job, right. It's like putting cheap tires on a Porsche, these bits are the most vital but weakest link. Not for these bits, broke one in two pieces with surprisingly little effort.
Two stars just for that. I didn't expect much with bits at this price, but realized yesterday trying to put a pilot pole in a simple piece of hardwood that these are some of the dullest bits I've encountered in many years of bargain-bin hardware shopping. Shocking to have the Milwaukee name on it. I'm going to swap out some of my drill bits from better kits and I think I will be happy. if their Sawzall was of this quality a lot of remodel projects would never get done.On the plus side, the case is solid and easy to open/close and the bits are easy to get in and out.
I think these drill bits are really worth the price. This set is perfect to carry with your portable drill so you have what you need where you need it. Nice case also, dropped it several times and haven't had any problems with it opening or with bits coming loose. I have drilled several holes in 1/8 inch steel with the 5/16 bit and it is still running strong unlike a different set of drill bits I paid the same price for.
