Our take on the Milwaukee Thunderbolt Black Oxide Drill Bit Set

A Milwaukee Thunderbolt drill bit set in black oxide, aimed at drill-driver users who cut metal, wood and plastic. The bits use a 135-degree split point that bites without a pilot hole, parabolic flutes for chip clearance, and a thicker core for stiffness. The 3-flat Secure-Grip shank stops slipping in a 3/8-inch chuck, and the set adds six insert driver bits. Against generic high-speed-steel sets, the split point and anti-slip shank are the real advantages; the black oxide coating is a general-purpose finish, not the cobalt or titanium grade that holds up to hard stainless or repeated heavy metal work.

Best forDrill-driver owners cutting mild steel, wood and plasticMixed jobs that need drilling and driving from one kitBuyers who want bits that grip a 3/8-inch chuck without spinning
Pros

Questions and answers

What is the split point for?
The 135-degree split point cuts at the tip so the bit starts without a pilot hole and is less likely to wander on smooth metal.
Will these bits fit my drill?
They have a 3-flat shank sized for a 3/8-inch chuck, so they suit most corded and cordless drill drivers.
Can they drill stainless steel?
Black oxide is a general-purpose finish. For hard stainless or repeated heavy metal work, a cobalt bit is the better choice.
What comes in the set?
The drill bits plus six insert driver bits for driving screws.
Do they need a pilot hole?
No. The split point is designed to start on its own, though hard or polished metal still benefits from a center punch mark.
