Makita D-59178 18 Pc. Assorted Drill Bit Set

Enhance your drilling capabilities with the Makita 18 Piece Assorted Drill Bit Set (D-59178). This versatile set provides the perfect bits for your driver-drill or hammer driver-drill. It includes a variety of straight shank bits suitable for metal, wood, and masonry materials. The metal drill bits are crafted from HSS-G for extended durability. Their 135-degree split-point design ensures quick starts and minimizes bit wandering. The brad point wood drill bits are engineered to create clean, straight holes in wood. The masonry hammer drill bits work well with most hammer drills and are ideal for brick, block, and concrete. These straight shank bits fit most corded and cordless 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drills (drills sold separately). Additionally, the set comes with a handy metal carrying case for easy storage and transportation.

Using the Makita 18 Piece Assorted Drill Bit Set is straightforward. First, select the appropriate bit for the material you're drilling. For metal, use the HSS-G bits. For wood, choose the brad point bits, and for masonry, go for the hammer drill bits. Make sure your drill is the right size - most corded and cordless 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drills will work. Insert the bit into the drill chuck and tighten it securely. When starting to drill, apply gentle pressure, especially with the metal bits with the 135-degree split point. This helps with a fast start and reduces bit walking. When drilling wood, let the brad point bit guide itself to create clean holes. For masonry, use a hammer drill setting if available. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the bits with a brush to remove any debris. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the metal bits to prevent rust. Store the bits in the included metal carrying case to keep them organized and protected.
