What makes hex drill bits better than standard round-shank bits?

Hex drill bits feature a 1/4″ hexagonal shank that locks securely into quick-change chucks and impact drivers. This design prevents slippage, increases torque transfer by up to six times, and eliminates bit “walking” when starting holes — giving you faster, cleaner results with less effort.

Can these titanium-coated bits drill through metal?

Yes. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and resists heat buildup, allowing smooth drilling through light metals such as aluminium, copper, and thin steel sheet. For thicker or hardened metals, use cutting fluid and moderate speed to extend bit life.

Are these hex drill bits compatible with all drills and impact drivers?

Absolutely. Each bit has a universal 1/4″ hex shank that fits any quick-change chuck, standard drill-driver, or cordless impact driver. You can swap bits in seconds — ideal for fast-paced workshop or on-site use.

What sizes are included in the 13-piece Imperial set?

The set covers the most common Imperial sizes for DIY and trade work: 1/16″, 5/64″, 3/32″, 7/64″, 1/8″, 9/64″, 5/32″, 11/64″, 3/16″, 13/64″, 7/32″, 15/64″, and 1/4″ — all neatly organised in a durable storage case.
