Harbor Freight Drill Bits Review: 115 Piece, Warrior Brand, Cobalt Drill Bits Index. Reddit said that these Harbor Freight Drill Bits were awful, but are these drill bits secretly... awesome? If you're curious about the durability and performance of these cheap Harbor Freight drill bits on different materials like steel, aluminum, and brass, you’re in the right place. I tested these cobalt drill bits with my Grizzly G0602 lathe, and with my Precision Matthews PM-25 milling machine that I converted into a CNC mill, but they'd be awesome with a Harbor Freight drill press, too. Whether you’re looking for cheap cobalt drill bits for metalworking or a versatile and complete cobalt drill bit index for DIY projects, I’ve got you covered. I will show you how these cobalt drill bits hold up against tough metal and softer materials, and compare them to other cobalt drill bit sets on the market - two cobalt drill bit sets from Bosch and one cobalt drill bit set from Milwaukee - and I'll explain why I purchased these Harbor Freight cobalt drill bits instead. Are they a budget-friendly option for your workshop? Are these Warrior drill bits the best cobalt drill bits on the market?
