Review of DeWalt DW1956 Pilot Point Twist Drill Bit Assortment, 16-Piece

These bits were fine for utility work but when used for any finish work..(i.e. mounting hardware or trying to drill w/o going all the way through) they are too hungry for the wood.The larger bits don't actually drill through the wood so much as drill into it like a screw.Even when being extra careful to apply light pressure the drill was twisted out of my hand as the bit tore through my workpiece.while drilling through some Maple Plywood drawer fronts the bit pulled the workpiece up off the table and out of my hand leaving a large chipped out area of veneer on the face of my piece.I also wasn't impressed with the pilot point, the bit still walked.Nothing beats an awl or center punch for accurate drilling
