Excessive walking or spinning can quickly muck up your workpiece. That’s why DeWalt developed these special Pilot Point tips for portable drills. The patented tip design starts immediately on contact to promote clean holes and minimize the chances of lockup. The bits also feature DeWalt’s handy No Spin shank, allowing you to avoid the nasty problem of bits spinning in the chucks. If you’re a heavy portable drill user, this set will do you right.

What’s in the Box
Split point bits from 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch by 64ths, Pilot Point bits from 9/64-inch to 1/2-inch by 64ths, metal index

GOOD QUALITY AND FAIR PRICEDeWalt DW1969 29 Piece Pilot Point Twist Drill Bit Assortment with Metal Index

Drill bits get stuck in the wood - Reviewed on 2008-03-10

5 customers found this review helpful.

Pros:

- 1/64" steps
- Very nice plastic case
- No spin shank (also lets larger bits fit 3/8" chucks)
- Pilot point really works

Cons:

- Gold Ferrous Oxide instead of TiN
- More shank and less flute than your average drill bit
- Design chews up wood badly (completely tears on exit)
- Not good for soft woods (works better with harder woods)
- Flutes seem less sharp than other bits
- Too much heat concentrated in pilot point to give long life cutting metal
- Halfway down flute, bits bite into wood, screw the drill until the chuck hits the wood requiring you to backout and try again. This is very frustrating and is a major design flaw in my opinion.

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

I needed a high quality set of brad points for drilling pen blanks. This set is everything I was looking for. Since it increments in 1/64ths, I can usually find the exact bit I need for the pen tubes of various types of pens.

This product is a quality drill bit set. The bits are high quality pilot point and work extremely well under many conditions. The container is quite sturdy and very handy to use. The bit sizes are very easy to read.

These drills are perfect. Other than being great drills, the shanks that go into the chuck are three sided, making the bits 'spin proof'. The quaility of these bits won't let you down.
