Not sure what you mean. HSS is just a low carbon heat treated steel alloy. I don't believe there is any sort of spec they "have" to follow to the letter, so obviously some are better than others, but generally speaking HSS will be harder and more heat resistant than other higher carbon alloys. Of course there is no way to know for sure if they're just using the term loosely especially on these cheaper bits, but I doubt they'd outright lie about it.

Unless you're willing to sink a couple hundred into some really good bits, just plan on picking up a set during these deals once or twice a year, that's what I do. No point in sharpening bits or spending a ton on top of the line ones that can get lost or broken (or more commonly, walk away on you). But on the flipside you want it to last more than one use too so I don't go bottom of the barrel like harbor freight etc.

When I see a good deal on bits I'll usually grab some, the ones you can tell are really on the cheap side I'll use for wood etc and the better ones like the $10 dewalts I'll use for metal, but with slow speed and frequent oiling. As they dull or break, just swap in the next set. I do like the sets that come with 2 of the smaller sizes as those are most likely to break. Hopefully the 21 piece HSS dewalt set goes on sale again soon for $15 as I'm ready for a refresh of several sizes.

Have to look at drill bits like a grinding or cut off wheel. You don't want a dirt cheap one that is going to break or wear down super fast, but it is a consumable item that is going to wear out regardless of how much you pay, so have to find the sweet spot between price and longevity. I'd say any of the dewalts would fit that bill but I'd lean toward the black and gold (or black oxide if you can find them in a local store) over these.

The FP deal are HSS bits (not black oxide anymore but not necessarily critical, the underlying metal is the most important part). These are just titanium coated hardened steel, not HSS and definitely not solid titanium at this price.

Thanks to globalists (who don't care about anyone or anything except their own ability to make money) and specifically wall St. firms (profits over people all the time), it's hard to find anything not made in china these days. When the US is destroyed, they'll take their money and move on to a new country to decimate. And no, this is not about the evils of capitalism, it's simply the truth about unchecked, ,unmitigated, and unbridled greed.

That said, you can get these at Lowes right now for the same price, and the the black & gold 14 pc. set is $9.98 if you want it.

This drill bit set is $11.81 at Home Depot. The 10 piece set is $7.97. The plastic box they come in is worth that.

China has tons of their own problems, it's still a tossup between us and them to see who digs their own grave first. also, Japan owns just about the same amount of US dept as China, around 1.1 trillion. we blow through that on our military every 16 months. if anything is going to do us in, it's not our debt. most of US debt is held by americans.

I assume these are better than these "black & gold" ones, right??

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...UTF8&psc=1
Not a good assumption. The black and gold are made of high speed steel, these aren't. Many reviews of this set talk about them snapping, especially the pilot points on the larger ones, which would seem to confirm this set is a cheaper high carbon steel. Don't be tricked by the whole titanium coated thing, it doesn't buy much (if anything) especially if the core is weak.

I think so just based on price history, but I had the same question.
I'd go with the HSS black and gold over these.

I think so too. Titanium is always better than black oxide in terms of drill bits. Someone mentioned about the core but i didn't find anything specific about the cores of either bits in Dewalt site. Also this one has more than 61K ratings in Amazon compared to 4K for the black & gold ones.

The Project Farm video does not test the drill bits in this deal.

Had he tested all the different varieties of DeWalt bits against each other, then that'd be something.

Sigh.... Interesting in what way? The way common sense is not all that common? Your statement is very worrying...

There are NO evils of capitalism. *Corruption* of ANY monetary and/or incentive/exchange system or set of practices eventually allows malignant greed that transcends any form of government (republics (the old USA), monarchies, communist autocracies, and even ignorant mob rule (growing here the US), etc. The answer is to fix the problems, not discard the most successful foundation the world has ever known.

Where do you get the idea that titanium is always better than black oxide? If you're comparing a solid titanium bit vs a black oxide coated, then yes, absolutely. These are not solid titanium. They have a thin coating on them which is mostly for show. For the most part these coatings are for marketing. Yes, titanium has a bit better heat resistance (and cobalt even more) but the coating wears off so quickly it doesn't help much, if any.

Titanium coated and black oxide coated aren't going to be much different. A coating does very little and will wear off the tip extremely quickly anyway. I have a black oxide 1/8" bit (one that gets used a ton) that has far outlasted 3 titanium coated that came before it.

HSS is High Speed Steel which the Black and Gold sets are according to the specs - which will hold up much better than standard higher carbon tool steel used in this set. That is far more important than whatever coating is put on.

True solid titanium bits would be far superior but plan to spend a couple hundred on a set of those.

Look at the 61k ratings you mention and see all the complaints about these breaking and dulling, especially the pilot points.

Bits hardness is always Black oxide < Titanium < Cobalt. Google a bit and you will get more about it.

Again if these are solid titanium or not, I don't know. It's how DeWalt markets it. On their site, DeWALT says "Constructed from one solid piece of heavy-duty metal, DEWALT IMPACT READY® titanium drill bits are up to 5 times more durable than 2-piece conventional bits. A patented web taper helps to increase bit strength, and a proprietary PILOT POINT® tip delivers speed and clear, burr-free holes with helps to reduced bit walking. Ideal for metal, wood, and plastic".

If you are drilling wood, black oxide will suffice but if you are drilling thin metal and wood, you would want to go with Titanium. Its a personal choice, I would say.
