The Dewalt bit still looks as though it has not been used. I used one Dewalt countersink bit to finish my project, drilling about 50 holes. I highly recommend this countersink set for any project involving composite decking boards. I bought this set after breaking several countersink drill bits bought at major home improvement stores. Those bits would break after drilling 3 or 4 holes in my composite decking material.
This is the best set on the market for general woodworking and furniture building (I am not including specialized bits and screws professional cabinet makers use). The end result is that you can make clean, precise cut every time, without splinters, without fear that the collar will slip. Other sets are cheaper, so you go for them, but you end up frustrated.
and 2 (not one). If I had to do it all over again, I would have bought this set right away. screws to hold the collar in place without slipping.
I will probably repeat some other reviewers, but I have similar experience. The collar has multiple cutters (BTW, Hitachi collars have just 1). Other sets will only waste your money and you will eventually end up buying this set anyway.
That's what happened to me as well. The drills are sharp and longer than competing sets, which gives you added flexibility to adjust depth.
It would be of benefit if the manufacture provided different length drill bits in the kit. The drill bits are to long if installing screws less than 1½" unless you don't mind a hole on the other side of your work.
the tapered drills are consistent and the 4 cutters on the countersink make fast work, even in oak. The Dewalt counntersinks are among the best that I have used.
That is frustrating. The collars easily adjust to different screw lengths and the collar don't slip. My first cheap version would slip without me noticing, until I drill right out the front side of the project. This bit set is not cheap. But it doesn't happen any more. I find that I'm using these more and more, from shed building to jig building. However, I would have only spent $10 extra to get them, if I had not tried to get cheaper sets first. I have one of these bits in the cordless drill and a screw driver bit in the cordless impact driver.
