Answer 1

If your Dad is mainley going to be drilling metal things, then I would go for a Titanium Drill Bit Set. don't be cheep and try to save a buck. You will only get low quality bits, that break,bend and only good for drilling one hole.Whatever brand you get, take a look at his drill first. The size of the drill chuck will determine what drills to get. If it is a 3/8 inch drillchuck, then only drill bits that have a 3/8 shank will fit into it.That's unless you can find a drill set that has all 3/8 shanks on them. A1/2 " Drill will hold any bit that has up to a 1/2" shank. A 1/4 " Drill will only hold a bit that is 1/4 ", but I dought if anyone has one of those anymore.(1/4 drill ) Don't get a set just because it looks impressive either. Most of those larger sizes are very seldom used. ( Any thing above a 1/2 bit .) If a larger bit is needed, then people usually use a holesaw or a spade bit. (wood or metal ) and that is not very often for a just around the house person. When looking for a set of drill bits, get a good quality one,they usually have a warrenty against defects in the craftmanship. And one with a case ,is nice to have. But like I said, don't buy one just because they are impressive looking. You'll be waisting your money. Get a set from 1/16th through 1/2" Titanium.Stay away from sets that top brand power tool makers sell.( Like Makita,Ryiobi, Dewalt, ) They are usually made at the same factory,but they cost more because their names are on it. A good brand to shop for are, Black and Decker, Craftsman, Master Mecanics. You are getting what you are paying for when shopping for bits that way. Good Luck, Byeee

Answer 4

any heat treated set is fine, but get a set made to drill steel,
Chicago brand has been the best i have ever used,
titainum coated doesnt last very long,

Answer 5

I purchase the Dewalt Carbide bits. They have been the strongest bits that I have ever bought. They are great quality and come with a nice case. There are no warranties on drill bits because they wear out. but the Carbide ones are generally the strongest.

Answer 6

buy him a drill index with sizes from 1/16 to 1/2 in. in 1/64 increments...

Answer 7

You get what you pay for. Titanium coating is good for keeping the bit cool, but you still need the right bits for the right job. HSS high Speed Steel cuts through metal, there are Wood working Bits, All purpose, hardened, coated, and so on. search the net for more information and compare what you find. Sears sell some nice bits and back them up with so many locations for returning them.

Answer 8

The best drill index set that Craftsman sells is the way to go...Hey he's your father and he deserves the best...

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/A5Gtg
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
