Customer Review: OK general purpose bits
I’ve been using these bits for general purpose construction of my house for the last 7 months. For drilling lumber they work well but are very aggressive (as another reviewer pointed out). You need to be very careful not to let the larger bits bite and start screwing into the work piece. Other than that, the pilot point seems to work as intended and really cuts down on bit walk.

I just recently tried to use the 1/2″ bit to drill some 1/4″ mild steel plate. After the first hole, the bit was dull and useless. I’m not sure if it was a factory defect or if the bits are just not intended for this type of work. One interesting observation is that the bits do not seem to get hot while drilling into metal.
Customer Review: Pilot point? Not sure where it would be useful.
I was looking for a set of drill bits in the 5/8 – 1/2 inch category, and I happened to see this dewalt set at home depot. I got it thinking its dewalt, its got to be good. Well, maye Im using it for the wrong purpose, but when I drill holes in soft wood like pine, it rips up the wood at the top pretty bad. My old B&D twist drill bits do a cleaner job. Guess I should have done my research before buying this set.
