Amazon.com Product Description
The DeWalt 29-Piece DW1969 twist drill bit assortment is a professional kit designed to deliver reliable performance across the board. Each bit larger than 1/8-inch features a patented Pilot Point Tip to prevent walking for improved accuracy and better finished products. DeWalt's patented tapered web prevents the frustration caused by broken bits, and a no-spin shank keeps the bits securely positioned, even when working with keyless chucks. As a bonus, the size markings on these bits are located above the shank, so you won't have to worry about wear making them unreadable. To help you stay organized, a useful metal index is included in this kit, along with split point bits from 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch and Pilot Point bits from 9/64-inch to 1/2-inch in 64th-inch increments.

 There are a couple things the bits don't do well November 20, 2008
When I first bought these drill bits I was delighted. They are agressive and the pilot bit makes starting large bits very easy. I did a lot of work with hardwoods.
Things changed this weekend. I used a handheld drill and did some drilling in softwood and it was rather frustrating. The last quarter-inch or so the bit grabbed and basically "screwed" its way through to the other side, leaving pieces of undrilled wood to act as the threads. The problem wouldn't have occurred had I been using a drill press (I think), but given the very agressive nature of this drills I will limit the amount I use them, particularly with softwoods and with a handheld drill. I suspect that these drills will not perform well when drill through thin sheets of metal also.
I'd give these 3.5 stars, but decided to round up.

 Drill bits get stuck in the wood March 10, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Pros:
- 1/64" steps
- Very nice plastic case
- No spin shank (also lets larger bits fit 3/8" chucks)
- Pilot point really works
Cons:
- Gold Ferrous Oxide instead of TiN
- More shank and less flute than your average drill bit
- Design chews up wood badly (completely tears on exit)
- Not good for soft woods (works better with harder woods)
- Flutes seem less sharp than other bits
- Too much heat concentrated in pilot point to give long life cutting metal
- Halfway down flute, bits bite into wood, screw the drill until the chuck hits the wood requiring you to backout and try again. This is very frustrating and is a major design flaw in my opinion.
If you are set on this purchase, consider the package with the measuring tape:
DEWALT DW1969TM Heavy Duty 29-Piece Pilot Point Set with FREE Tape Measure
Or the 25pc Black Oxide version with the normal tip:
DEWALT DW1164 25 Piece Black Oxide Drill Bit Set
Note there also exists a cobalt version with the Pilot Point tip:
DEWALT DW1269 29 Piece Cobalt Pilot Point Metal Drill Bit Index Set
Excellent product December 26, 2007
I needed a high quality set of brad points for drilling pen blanks. This set is everything I was looking for. Since it increments in 1/64ths, I can usually find the exact bit I need for the pen tubes of various types of pens.

This product is a quality drill bit set. The bits are high quality pilot point and work extremely well under many conditions. The container is quite sturdy and very handy to use. The bit sizes are very easy to read.
