The DEWALT DW1163 Black Oxide Drill Bit Set, 13-Piece, is a versatile addition to any toolbox. Made from high-speed steel with a black and gold coating, these bits resist rust and wear while drilling through plastic, wood, and metal. The 135-degree split point tip reduces walking for precise starts, and the tapered web design adds durability to resist breakage. The 3-flats shank fits securely in your chuck, preventing spin-out. With sizes from 1/16-inch to 1/4-inch and a tough storage case, this set is a reliable everyday choice.
Whether you’re a weekend woodworker or a professional contractor, the DW1163 is designed to handle a wide range of materials. The black and gold coating not only distinguishes DEWALT bits but also provides rust protection. The 135-degree split point is a game-changer for precision – it bites into the surface immediately, so you don’t have to deal with the bit skidding across your workpiece.
A common question is whether these bits can drill stainless steel. The answer is yes, with the right technique. Because the bits are made of high-speed steel, they can handle the hardness of stainless, but you’ll want to use a slower speed and apply cutting fluid or oil to reduce heat. For frequent stainless steel work, consider a cobalt bit, but for occasional use, the DW1163 will get the job done.
Black oxide coating is a surface treatment that improves lubricity and provides resistance to corrosion. It also helps prevent chips from welding to the bit, especially in softer materials. Combined with the split point and tapered web, these bits are engineered to deliver clean holes without excessive wear on the bit or your drill.

Black oxide bits are a great balance of affordability and performance. The coating reduces friction and enhances corrosion resistance, while titanium bits offer even more heat resistance for extended use in metal. For general purpose drilling in wood, wood composites, and occasional metal, black oxide is a smart choice. If you find yourself drilling stainless steel or abrasive materials regularly, a titanium step-up keeps the edge longer.
Start with a center punch to create a dimple, especially on metal. The 135° split point then reduces walking and keeps the bit centered. For wood, you can use a higher speed; for metal, slow down and apply oil. The tapered web design sheds chips efficiently, so you get cleaner holes and less heat buildup.
The included tough case keeps each bit in its own slot, with the size marked on the case. You can easily carry this set to a job site or store it in a drawer. Pair it with a DEWALT impact driver or drill for a reliable drilling combo.
Yes, high-speed steel bits with a 135° split point can penetrate stainless steel when used with proper speed and lubricant. For frequent stainless work, a cobalt bit is more efficient.
The set includes bits from 1/16-inch to 1/4-inch in 1/64-inch increments, plus a 1/32-inch bit, giving you a practical range for most household and job-site tasks.
No, this set is designed for wood, plastic, and metal. For masonry, you’ll need a carbide-tipped masonry bit.
The three flats on the shank grip the chuck more securely, reducing the chance of the bit spinning inside the chuck under heavy load.
Yes, each bit has the size marking stamped on the shank, so you can quickly find the bit you need without measuring.
Drill clean.
They're accurate. The case is nice. But they dull quickly.
I'm a handyman and use these daily. The pilot point starts on contact. They go through wood and metal easily. The black oxide resists rust. The case keeps them organized. It's a great set for the price.
Bits bend.
I bought these for my toolbox. They work well. The sizes are marked clearly. The case is sturdy.
These bits have paid for themselves. I've drilled hundreds of holes. They haven't shattered. The pilot point is great. The case is compact. I recommend them.
They're sharp. The storage is good. But the small bits are hard to remove.
I love these.
I'm a teacher and use them for student projects. They're durable. The case is handy. The sizes cover all basics. The bits stay sharp. Good product.
They drill as expected. The case is a bit flimsy. But the bits are fine.
Used them on metal and wood.
I'm an industrial electrician. These bits last longer than others. The pilot point prevents walking. The black oxide is tough. They fit in tight spots. The case is robust. I'll buy another set for home.
