The part that gets dull is the tip of the bit. If you want this style of drill bit to last longer drill a 1/4" pilot hole first then switch to one of these bits. Don't go full speed on the drill, that will keep from burning up the steps of the bit.

The same goes for hole saws, drill a 1/4" hole first then switch to the hole saw. It will help to prevent from bending the 1/4" pilot bit built into the hole saw.

I know these will probably last longer, but how much longer and better are they than a Harbor Freight set for half the price considering some reviews said it snapped?

HF this set is a good quality . Bought them maybe 5 years ago and used occasionally. Still sharp. On another hand $25 is not a big deal if you are Milwaukee fan

Thanks! I've been using the HF ones for years, and don't really have any complaints, but they do get buried in my tool box. Case should help with that.

FYI - Military discount stacks with this.

So, it's a matter of faith in the brand. That is why I was originally thinking of buying this, but I won't be using this bit as much, so a Harbor Freight one seems alright enough for me.

Their website is definitely borked a bit today. Plenty of timeouts and errors. Had to go back and try a few times - died adding it to the cart, then later died never enabling the last 'place order' button.

I have a set from Harbor Freight that is 8 years old and only one of them snapped. I have drilled hundreds of holes in regular metal and they are still usable. I bought a set because I'm a Milwaukee guy but they can't be better than the ones I got from HF.

Used the HF stepped bits and would buy those at ~1/3 the price.

Thanks for this. Was in the market for a set to help with a smokeless fire pit build. Couldn't stomach paying full price for something that'll hardly get any use once I'm done.
