Drill Bit Sets for Wood, Metal, and Masonry
A good drill bit set puts the right sizes in one case so you are not hunting for a single bit. Festool sets include CENTROTEC stubby wood bits, a 7-piece brad point set, twist drill sets, a ZOBO Forstner style set, and SYS3 Forstner and drill-and-driver cassettes. Snappy offers cabinet maker's, handyman, and hinge bit sets. Milwaukee covers RED HELIX titanium and cobalt sets, SHOCKWAVE carbide hammer drill sets, a flat boring set, and a countersink set. Diablo Metal Demon and a Makita 100-piece Systainer set round it out.
What to Look For
- Material. Brad point and Forstner sets are for wood. Cobalt and Metal Demon sets handle steel. Carbide hammer drill sets are for masonry.
- Shank. Hex shank sets snap into impact drivers and quick-change chucks. CENTROTEC sets fit Festool drills with a CENTROTEC chuck.
- Size range. Check that the set covers the pilot and clearance sizes you use most.
- Case. Systainer cassettes and belt pouches keep sizes in order on the job.

Drill Bit Sets FAQ
Which drill bit set covers the most jobs?
For general work in wood and light metal, a titanium set like the Milwaukee RED HELIX 23-piece is a solid start. Add a cobalt or Metal Demon set for stainless and hardened steel, and a carbide hammer drill set for concrete.
What are CENTROTEC drill bit sets?
CENTROTEC is Festool's quick-change shank system. CENTROTEC bits drop straight into the CENTROTEC chuck on Festool drills without tightening a chuck, which speeds up switching between drilling and driving.
