Drill Bit Set AWTools AW42318, titanium-coated metal bits 19 pcs, sizes 1–10 mm in plastic case

AWTools AW42318 is a 19-piece drill bit set for metal with titanium coating, covering sizes from 1 mm to 10 mm in consecutive increments. The set contains twist drill bits intended for use with handheld drills and drill presses and is supplied in a compact plastic case that keeps bits organised and protected. These bits are designed for general-purpose metalworking tasks such as maintenance, repairs and light fabrication where reliable hole-drilling in steel and other metals is required.

Advantages

The titanium coating increases surface hardness and offers improved wear resistance compared with uncoated bits, extending service life under typical workshop conditions. The consecutive size range from 1 mm to 10 mm provides flexibility for stepped drilling tasks and matching common fastener diameters. The plastic case provides straightforward storage and transport, with individual seating that helps prevent loss and simplifies bit selection.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, iron and non-ferrous metals
• Maintenance and repair work in workshops and garages
• Light fabrication and assembly tasks requiring a variety of hole sizes
• Use with handheld electric drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 19
• Size range: 1 mm to 10 mm (consecutive increments)
• Tip type: twist drill geometry suitable for metal
• Surface finish: titanium coating for increased wear resistance
• Storage: plastic case with individual slots

How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit size for the required hole, clamp the workpiece securely, and install the bit into the drill chuck ensuring it is seated and tightened. For drilling metal, use cutting oil or suitable lubricant to reduce heat and prolong bit life, start at low to moderate speed to establish the hole, and apply steady, even pressure. Retract periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes and allow the bit to cool if excessive heat develops.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed to material hardness (lower speeds for harder steels), and reapply lubricant during prolonged cuts. Store bits dry in the supplied plastic case to prevent corrosion and check regularly for wear; replace bits that are blunt or damaged to maintain drilling accuracy.
