I tested the picks in a workshop using a benchtop drill press with a keyed chuck and a cordless drill driver with a keyless chuck. After reviewing more than 50 drill bit sets, I selected our top picks based on functionality, size combinations, cost, and availability. Then I began searching the most reputable tool brands to find the best drill bit designs and materials available. To kick off this project, I spent 20 hours researching drills and drill bits for common household repairs, maintenance, and DIY projects and learning about best drilling practices.

Read on to find out more about the materials and design features used to construct high-quality drill bits, the different kinds of bits available, and how to find the type you need. I worked with bits designed for metal, wood, aluminum, concrete, tile, and more, so if you’re planning to upgrade your tool kit, perhaps my findings can help.

I recently tested eight offerings from leading tool manufacturers in a quest for the best drill bits available. There’s a nearly endless supply of drill bits on the shelves of home improvement stores in different types, sizes, and material options-each suited to specific tasks-and a DIYer must know the appropriate one to use. These attachable cutting implements bore into surfaces, drilling a wide range of hole types and sizes.

When one is assembling a tool kit for home improvement, maintenance, and construction projects, one of the first items purchased is often a power drill, followed by an assortment of drill bits.
