Surprising Drill Bit Showdown: Metal vs. Wood Bits Tested In the wild world of drilling, not all bits are created equal—and sometimes, the most high-tech options lose to humble simplicity. Our latest showdown pitted three standout sets against the test: the toolant Cobalt Drill Bit Set (Pro), celebrated for its Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating and bullet point tip, designed for hardened metals but surprisingly ambitious; the Hex Shank Drill Bit Set with its quick change design, versatile for sheet metal, wood, and plastic; and the amoolo Hex Shank Drill Bit Set, a titanium HSS twist with an impact focus, ready for everything from steel to shrink-wrap. Which one surprised us—and which one actually delivered? Let’s tunrereveal.
Title: Toolant Drill Bit Set Compared: TiAlN Coated Bits for Metal—21pcs, Tested Performance Insight… We were intrigued by the Toolant Cobalt Drill Bit Set, eager to see how its 21 titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coated bits would perform on hardened metal and stainless steel. The bullet-point tips promised durability, and we put them to the test. The set covers a wide range of sizes, from 1/16" to 1/2", making it versatile for various projects. On stainless steel, the bits cut smoothly with minimal resistance, though we noticed slight binding on very thick materials. The TiAlN coating did a fine job resisting wear, though the cobalt construction occasionally kipped on tougher alloys. Overall, we’re satisfied with the set’s balance of versatility and performance, though it’s not a top-tier professional solution. Still, for DIYers and hobbyists, it’s a reliable choice.
