Reddit reviews DEWALT Titanium Drill Bit Set, Pilot Point, 21-Piece (DW1361)

DeWalt power drill with bit set and angle adaptor. Perfect set for someone newly living on their own or for someone who just doesn't have their own power drill. The angle adaptor is particularly handy.

Imo the single sets that have everything tend to be cheaper quality. Also it depends on your budget. My go to everyday bits are the Pilot Point Titanium from DeWalt. Use em on anything other than concrete. Amazon has them on sale now for $13 for a 21 pc set.

There are better bits out there, but these give a lot of bang for your buck.

Regarding masonry, I use Bosch Blue Granite bits, but the set I have is no longer on Amazon.

I've had this set for over two years. When one finally breaks or I lose one ( mostly the tiny ones) I just buy the single bit of the same kind. They work really well on metal and plastic. They're for making jokes in plywood or through a 2x4.

Rockler has a set of woodworking bits that I pull out when I'm working on something nice like a box or some nice hardwoods.

  and a myriad of other small parts pertaining to surveillance system installs, and screw bits for my drill, and i even have secured walkies for when i have multiple employees on site. plus i have to admit bluetooth headsets for when i have to deal with helpdesks or tech support while i'm on site... did i mention i do a lottttt of contract work. i'm all over the place. every now and then i run into things that this kit can't handle but for the most part i come away with a rather professional look.
  
  sorry for formatting, i've seen plenty of these posts this is the first time i took time to actually look up evrything i've purchased.
  
  Edit: Some formatting. added velcro :P

Haha I was actually looking at one of those 90 degree angle attachments, but figured I don't really need it yet. Will wait until it goes on clearance.

That makes sense about the bit holders though. Same thing, will wait to find some on sale since I don't need them urgently.

I came across this set of titanium bits on sale, but it only goes to 1/4. /u/blbd mentioned that this is probably the most cost effective option since it doesn't have the pricier bits, but it means if I ever need more bits, I would need a new case; this is why I was going to wait until this one goes on sale, but might be a silly endeavour.

Is this the knife you use currently? Only downside I've seen is someone people say it gets uncomfortable to hold - looks good otherwise.

What kind of work you doing? They have bits for all sorts of material and purposes. I have a set like this:

It's the set I use most often for all my projects. I also have some different style sets for woodworking, plastic and metal, but these are my go to 90% of the time.

I think I found the kit they are, here's a link for reference: DEWALT DW1361 Titanium Pilot Point Drill Bit Set, 21-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GIO0F8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mVLlzb08AERJN

I've been using a regular cheap Dewalt drill set for everything [link] (https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW1361-Titanium-Pilot-21-Piece/dp/B004GIO0F8), whatever speed you feel comfortable at. If you drill enough they will dull, but mine haven't yet. Don't overthink it :)
