WizeBuyz Take

Overall, the Makita B-59243 5 Pc. Assorted SDS-Plus Drill Bit Set is highly recommended for those who regularly work with a rotary hammer and need the convenience and performance of drilling in both wood and metal. While some users found the wood bits to be shorter than expected, the high-speed steel and brad point design allow for clean and precise drilling. However, one user did experience an issue with the bit becoming blunt after drilling one hole in steel.

Cons

  • Some users found the wood bits to be shorter than expected

  • One user experienced an issue with the bit becoming blunt after drilling one hole in steel

Pros

  • SDS-Plus shank allows drilling in metal or wood without switching to a drill or using a special chuck adapter for operator convenience and productivity

  • Brad point wood drill bits provide clean, straight holes in wood

  • Specially designed shorter shank helps prevent damage from accidental use in 'hammering with rotation' mode on rotary hammers

  • Affordable

  • Fast shipping

One of the key features of this drill bit set is the SDS-Plus shank that allows for drilling in metal or wood without switching to a drill or using a special chuck adapter. The metal drilling bits are made of grounded high-speed steel (hss-g) for longer life, with a 135-degree split point geometry for reduced 'walking'. In addition, the wood drilling bit features a brad point that is engineered to provide clean, straight holes in wood. The 5-pc. assortment includes brad point wood bits: 3/16' x 4-5/8', 1/4' x 5-1/8', and hss-g metal bits: 1/8' x 3-7/8', 3/16' x 4-5/8', 1/4' x 5-3/16'. It is important to note that this set is engineered for use with a rotary hammer in 'rotation mode', but includes a specially-designed shorter shank to help prevent damage from accidental use in 'hammering with rotation' mode on rotary hammers.
