Right now you can get Milwaukee’s 48-89-1105 1/16″ to-1/2″ titanium coated 20-piece twist drill bit set for $24.99, about half off retail and the lowest price we found online.
According to Milwaukee’s website, the set comes with three flat, no-spin shanks at 13/64″ and larger to prevent slipping in the chuck and a 135-degree split point that self-centers to reduce “walking.” The titanium coating allows bits to withstands high temperatures by reducing friction and increasing resistance to wear over time.
Reviews [What’s This?] over at Amazon indicate that the bits are quite sharp right out of the box. This set may not be the highest quality set of bits out there, but it’s a good basic 20-piece set for a reasonable price, and it seems most of the customer reviews are positive about the general durability.
If you have experience with these bits, let us know what you think in comments.
