firefighter4187 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 A drill is useless without the bits. Which brand is your favorite and what style do you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've been using the Milwaukee bits the last couple years. I've been happy with them. The Dewalt bits are alright too. My dad uses them and seems to like them. I'll never buy cheap ass bits again though. Morse are probably the best bits all around, but the price typically reflects that.

firefighter4187 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have been happy with my bits. I got a 4 pack at Lowes for $25 and it had the impact ready, gold ferious drill bits and two normal screw driving sets. I have only had one impact break and it is the #2 drywall bit because i used it for driving every screw i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Please define bits please guys, because over here getting your bits out means something completely different. LOL e.g do you mean screwdriver bits as opposed to drill bits or does bits cover the whole genre as over here where anything that goes in a drill is a bit of one kind or another?

Conductor562 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I thought we were talking about drill bits. Maybe I misunderstood though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 In that case may I suggest that Irwin are one of my fave drill bit manufacturers and also Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Speaking of Irwin I just bought a 7 pack of speedbore paddle bits for $7 at lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FerTheHandyman Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 For drill bits I've always liked the Dewalt for the bigger ones. for pilot holes I always buy a bunch of cheaper bits because no matter what you get they break. For the auger bits I like the Irwin. I bought a set of Milwaukee auger bits but the 1/4" shank broke on them so I'll stick with the Irwin.

crazyandy Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I love my Milwaukee wood bits but I also love the Irwin ones also. The Milwaukee wood bits with the 1/4" shaft have treated me amazingly, I use them almost everyday. For metal bits dewalt is my way to go!

Conductor562 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I haven't bought a non-sds masonry bit in so long I really don't have sufficient info to have an opinion. In my experience you can't go wrong with Bosch consumables though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerTheHandyman Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I buy Bosch for masonry for sds and standard. They have lasted me a long time for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneburgess Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes and to be honest the drill bits were great but the impact screwdriver bits were useless the whole pack shattered in less than a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ever used any DeWalt SDS? No, I bought a big set of cheap ass bits and I've added Bosch in the sizes I use most often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I had my DeWalt bits since Christmas. None have shattered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Wayne has a secret he's not telling you. By night he's a superhero. He has superhuman strength. Kinda like Hulk with a funny accent and he turns purple instead of green. His super strength transfers to whatever he's holding like electricity looking for a ground. Rides around in a purple Mini Cooper and survives solely on Earl Grey and crumpets. I'll let him tell you what name he goes by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
