It’s built to be a reliable go-to set for tradespeople, DIYers and hobbyists who need consistent, ready-to-use bits for projects that demand clean holes and long bit life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the pilot point tips improve hole starts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pilot point geometry creates an initial contact point that helps the bit bite immediately instead of wandering across the workpiece.
