Like a custom bracket here, a hidden bracing piece there. Try it with regular drill bits, the kind that come with a drill or with a "1000 tools in a 10 inch box" kind of thing. Forget it, they turn to mush, they're not meant for metal even if they say so on them. I made some messes and started some cutting oil fires, that kind of thing. So I asked a friend who works on fancy doors what he does for all the holes he has to drill in things that are metal. So what I found out is use "Cobalt" (still contains steel) bits, press really hard, and put the drill on really low speed. I knew I didn't want to pay $$$ for whatever he uses in his pro work. He admitted his bits are so precious they come packed individually. How to do this but only occasionally? So having been very pleased with Dewalt stuff in the past (my hand drill and job site saw are from them for example), I decided that a small multi-pack from a reputable brand like this would be a good bet. It was. These drill through metal sheeting with my plain 15 year old Dewalt hand drill. We're talking like millimeters in my case. So I do not know what would happen if you tried it on a hunk of railroad rail or something like that. I drill things like an extra hole in things about as thick as a shelf bracket or less. Makes a clean round hole. Punch first, then push hard and drill slowly, right into some backing material like cheap pine scraps, and a few swipes with say 150 grit sandpaper to make sure there are no burrs and you're set. So for a relatively low price, I got the result I wanted. And it's real Dewalt, so you're not just punting, yet it costs about the same as random cheap sets on here. Importantly, the benefits of it occurred to an amateur like myself, who doesn't drill metal regularly but needs it to work when he needs it. ## Features - Connectable accessory storage system to optimize storage space of drill bits for wood, metal or i-beams - Patented bit-bar design allows easy removal of drill bits and customizable placement - DEWALT drill bit set comes with clear lid allowing you to easily see contents at glance - Clip latch for secure closing - Small Bulk Storage size fits inside the Small and Medium ToughCase+ (sold separately) - Ideal for organizing loose bits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015J5HU4Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,416 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #10 in Wood Drill Bit Sets | | Brand | DEWALT | | Brand Name | DEWALT | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,438 Reviews | | Cutting Angle String | 135 Degrees | | Finish Type | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Finish Types | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911410861 | | Included Components | DWA1240 - (14) Piece Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set | | Item Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.74 x 8.75 inches | | Item Type Name | Tool | | Item Weight | 362 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8.75 x 1.74 x 8.75 inches | | Manufacturer | DEWALT | | Material | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Cobalt Alloy Steel | | Minimum Bore Diameter | 3 Millimeters | | Model | DWA1240 | | Number of Flutes | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 14 | | Part Number | DWA1240 | | Point Style | Pilot Point | | Set Name | 14-Piece | | Shank Type | Straight | | Surface Recommendation | Alloy Steel,Iron,Metal,Metals,Stainless,Stainless Steel,Steel | | Tool Flute Type | Spiral | | UPC | 885911410861 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DEWALT - **Cutting Angle String:** 135 Degrees - **Finish Type:** Cobalt Alloy Steel - **Material:** Cobalt Alloy Steel - **Shank Type:** Straight ## Images ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BWpyJf16L.jpg) ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hNcjCx-iL.jpg) ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dmp8+gquL.jpg) ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SsphAnRnL.jpg) ![DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51267LpPEbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What % cobalt?** A: The manufacturer states that this set is 8% cobalt, which would make this set grade M42.

Anyway, over the weekend, I was working on my car replacing all the suspension (ball joints, control arms, axles, tie rods, struts, etc.) and when I was nearly done, I had one screw to take off the rear lower control arm and it was the one that screws the lower ball joint onto the control. And guess what? It snapped with little to no pressure just to find out that the only thing keeping the bolt from coming was that it was rust welded onto the tack welded but on the other end! (I’m pretty glad I found that out now rather than later while I’m driving). I tried using all the drill bits I had at home and none of them worked. Even the screw extractor kit I bought Autozone didn’t even work, but with this one, it was magical. The fact that I didn’t have to punch the screw before hand was great because not of my punches would actually make an indentation on the darn bolt. But man, I put a bit of cutting oil and started drilling and man. I’ll tell you what. It was drilling through that screw like a hot knife going through butter. After drilling through two inches of Grade 8 bolt, it didn’t even seem to show any wear on the drill (besides metal flakes). This set is absolutely great and will last for years to come! Highly recommend these! ## Frequently Bought Together - DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) - DEWALT Titanium Nitride Coated Drill Bit Set, Pilot Point, 21-Piece (DW1361) - DEWALT Drill Bit Set, 21-Piece, 135 Degree Split Point, 31 Degree Helix, Black Oxide Coated, For Plastic, Wood and Metal (DWA1181) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/21156672-dewalt-cobalt-alloy-steel-drill-bit-set-with-pilot-point](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/21156672-dewalt-cobalt-alloy-steel-drill-bit-set-with-pilot-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
