Review: Excellent set of METRIC bits! - At the time I purchased these, I only intended to use them for light duty (drilling into polymer). However, as fate would have it, I had to use them to drill into hardened steel, and much to my surprise, they performed admirably. It was a pleasant surprise (I was expecting "Chinese junk") and I'm very happy with this purchase; especially considering that it's a METRIC set, which is difficult to find (in the USA). I wish the set had a 1mm bit, but oh well. It's just a preference, not anything against the quality of the bits in this set. ============= Update 1/16/18 ============= My rating has changed from 5 stars down to 3. I needed to drill into metal again--actually I wasn't even drilling new holes, but just "chasing" already existing holes to expand them--and neither the 4.5mm or 4.8mm bits would do anything. They just spun around getting hot, without cutting anything. I even tried the 5mm bit, even though that was too big for my purposes, and it also did nothing but spin. Thus, I've used four of the bits (4, 4.5, 4.8, and 5mm), and only one of them did anything. The one that actually worked did its job well; the others are a HUGE disappointment. ============= Update 1/25/18 ============= Kudos to Migiwata customer service (thank you, Bella!). After hearing about my not-so-pleasant experience with these bits, they sent me a second set. Apparently their original supplier had run dry, and they had to use a second, temporary supplier while the original caught up with demand. The first set that I received was from the temporary supplier. The new set is from the original supplier, and the bits seem to be in order in this new set. So how do you tell the difference? By the case (see photos). The set with the blue dot on the case--which is a plastic retainer to keep the case closed--is from the original supplier. Now if you happen to get a set without the blue dot, don't panic. Just because I got a subpar set that slipped through the manufacturer's quality control process doesn't mean that you did, too. Try the bits out first. WORST case is that Migiwata customer service takes care of you like they did me; best case is you don't even have a problem. As for me and my review of this product, I'm a happy camper again and am bumping my rating back up to 5 stars. The bits are great (make sure to use a good cutting lubricant/coolant) and Migiwata customer service is stellar.
Review: Funny name, good drill bit. - You never know how good or bad a drill bit is going to be till you buy it and try it. Hymnorq M35 Cobalt drill bits have been the real deal for me. I've purchased multi-packs of larger daimeter and smaller diameter Hymnorq M35 Cobalt bits that have worked just as well as these 4.2mm bits. Hymnorq M35 cobalt bits are reasonably priced, cut fast, and stay sharp (I do try to take care of them regarding matching RPM to bit diameter and keeping cutting oil on the bits as much as possible). As long as I can continue to find this family of drill bits, I'll continue to replenish my toolboxes with them.

## Features

- PREMIUM M35 COBALT STEEL – Manufactured from High-Speed Steel with 5% Cobalt (M35 Grade), these bits exhibit superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard HSS bits. Engineered specifically to cut through hard abrasive materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys without dulling quickly.
- PRECISION 135° SPLIT POINT – Features a heavy-duty 135-degree split point tip that self-centers immediately upon contact. This design eliminates "walking" or skating across the work surface, ensuring accurate pilot holes and requiring less pressure to penetrate tough metals.
- FULLY GROUND METRIC SIZES – This set includes 13 specific metric sizes: 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, and 8mm. Each bit is fully ground to meet DIN 338 standards, providing precise diameter accuracy and faster chip removal through the dual twist flutes.
- PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE – The golden bronze oxide finish not only provides a sleek professional look but also increases wear resistance and lubricity. Ideal for DIY projects, maintenance, and metalworking where precision drilling in hard metals, wood, and hard plastics is required.
- ORGANIZED STORAGE CASE – Comes housed in a durable, labeled plastic index case. Each slot is marked with the corresponding metric size for quick identification and easy organization, keeping your bits secure and portable for job site use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these drill bits cut through hardened steel or stainless steel?**
A: Yes. M35 grade steel with 5% Cobalt is specifically engineered for high-tensile metals like stainless steel, cast iron, and titanium alloys. For fully hardened steel (HRC > 50), carbide bits are recommended.

**Q: Will these bits fit my standard cordless drill?**
A: Yes. These feature standard round straight shanks. The largest diameter is 8mm, allowing them to fit securely into any standard 3/8-inch (10mm) or 1/2-inch (13mm) drill chuck.

**Q: Do I need to use cutting oil or lubricant?**
A: Highly recommended. While Cobalt is heat-resistant, using cutting fluid significantly reduces friction and heat buildup. This prevents the bit from annealing (softening) and greatly extends its lifespan.

**Q: Do these bits require a center punch to start?**
A: No. These bits feature a 135° Split Point tip. This design is self-centering and cuts immediately upon contact with the metal, preventing the bit from "walking" or skating across the surface.

**Q: Are these bits just coated with Cobalt or solid?**
A: They are solid M35 Cobalt steel throughout, not just coated. Unlike titanium-coated bits that lose effectiveness once sharpened, these maintain their heat resistance and performance even after resharpening.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent budget bits, poorly made case.
*by D***. on September 1, 2025*

The bits themselves are OK, but definitely not on the higher end (also much lower price than high end bits). The case is poorly molded and low quality. Next time, I'd likely elect to buy a more expensive set.
