This DeWalt black and gold HSS jobber set is a compact, low cost drill bit kit that stands out for metal drilling and general shop use. The coating is described as helping reduce friction and hold sharpness, and the larger sizes use 3 flat shanks for better chuck grip. The set is also reported to hold up well over time. The main limitation is size, since this 14 piece version tops out at 3 8 inch, and the smooth shank on smaller bits can spin in some chucks.

Good deal. Free shipping was available. I don't know if bronze status is the default, but that's all you need to get it for free.

I didn't actually purchase it (but thinking about grabbing it as an extra set) because I thought it was the 14 piece that had the 1/2", but this set only goes to 3/8". Going to wait for the 1/2" set to go on sale again for 10 and pick up 1 or 2 sets.
Well it must be your lucky day! While perusing this deal on the site this was down in the Compare Products section. It's the 14-piece DeWalt kit with the half inch bit for only $8, at least for me. I might just buy this one instead!

I don't get dewalt's marketing.

What is so special about a "black and gold" coating?

Is this like titanium from Milwaukee or cobalt from Bosch?
It's mostly marketing for otherwise pretty standard HSS drill bits. But the black oxide coating does help maintain sharpness until it wears off and the "gold" makes them look pretty. The titanium coating seen on many other bits is similar.

But cobalt bits, from any brand, are in an entirely different class. They are made with an alloy that is much harder than these HSS bits. They hold their edge much better and are a significant improvement for drilling metals. The downside of the hardness is that they're more brittle and more likely to break if any side stress is applied.

Black and gold is a coating to help reduce friction, not rust. In general this coating denotes better quality bits than titanium "gold" or black oxide.

These are combination bits they will drill wood metal, plastic.
For steel or aluminum use cutting oil, not wd40. Wd40 is better than nothing, but it is a terrible lubricant. High sulfer oil protects the edge of the bit..3-in-1 oil, motor oil, or best is cutting oil/tap oil. It has higher smoke point and better cooling and lubrication.

As to stainless steel..yes these will drill it but it is very hard on bits...this is where cobolt bits are best..not normal steel. Cobolt doesn't drill as well in mild steel. And again the best oil possible for lube will make a huge difference.

The larger the bit the slower you should drill...but no matter what use 1st gear on your drill only.

"Jobber" refers to the length of the bit..this is the most common length. Aircraft are much longer, machine are much shorter.

I'm not a fan of these... dealt with them for quite a while until I had enough of the smooth shank on the bottom half spinning no matter how much I tightened them down. Recently bought another set with hex bit ends.
I bought a set of these at Lowes last weekend especially because the larger sizes are not smooth and have edges (you can even see it on the pictures)

Hence why I said the bottom half.
