They're out of stock at both my Costco's. They have a pretty boy kit
instead.

Has anyone had experience with Craftsman brand drill bits? I bought a
30-piece Black & Decker drill bit set for $10 from Wal-Mart a few years
back. At the time, I didn't have ANY drill bits, so I was glad just to
have
SOME drill bits. I am not happy with how well they have worked (some
broke), so since then, I just went to Sears and bought a single bit in
the
size I needed. I bought one "cobalt" style drill bit, and it went
through a
hard steel pipe pretty quick! Well, it is time to quit playing
1sies-2sies
and to just buy a whole set. They have 3 different 29 piece (1/16" -
1/2",
by 1/64" sizes). Black Oxide is $60. Titanium Nitride is $90 and
Cobalt
is
$100. I am thinking about buying the $100 set of 29 cobalt drill bits.
I
would just use those for hard metal.

Besides that set, I was thinking about getting a $60 set of black oxide
drill bits. I was planning to use those for for wood, plastic or soft
metal.

Does anyone care to share their experience with Craftsman drill bits,
or
experience as to which set of bits I should buy/not buy? If it helps,
my
drill is a cordless 14.4 volt Craftsman, and I use it maybe once a
week.

Thanks!


From what I understand..the drill bit set..letter, number and
fractional, thats being sold at Costco for $49 or so..is a pretty
decent set. Several machine shop maint. department have bought them
and are quite happy with them.



Gunner who knows that many of the exact same make, model and type of
tool sells at both sears and HF..and usually for 1/2-1/3 at HF

Thanks for the suggestion to look at Costco.
