        No, the DEWALT DWA1180 Drill Bit set is not for drilling into concrete. A masonry drill bit is recommended

          These are common twists drill designed for creating holes vertically. If you need side cutting, then a milling bit is used.

                Do all the drill bits fit into the MAXFIT Right Angle Magnetic Attachment.
                ByJul 17, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Most drill bits in the DWA1181 set will fit into the DEWALT MAXFIT Right Angle Magnetic Attachment, provided they have a standard 1/4" hex shank or are compatible with the attachment's chuck. However, the DWA1181 set includes bits with straight shanks, not all of which may fit securely in the MAXFIT attachment, which is designed primarily for 1/4" hex shank accessories used in impact drivers. Please check the shank type of each bit for compatibility.

                    The DWA1181 21-piece drill bit set includes sizes from 1/16" to 3/8" in 1/64" increments.

                      The Dewalt Product Specialist is wrong. This set does go from 1/16” (4/64”) to 1/4” (16/64”) in 1/64” increments but then it jumps to 5/16” & 3/8”; therefore it is missing 17/64”, 9/32”, 19/64”, 21/64”, 11/32” and 23/64”.

                        Cheap soft steel
                        These bits are soft. I somehow bent the 1/4” bit. Luckily they give you a bonus 1/4”, but after only 3 or 4 holes through 1/4” steel it’s very dull. I don’t know if Dewalt started getting cheaper steel, but my last Dewalt kit lasted a couple years with light use, these new ones won’t last a job.

                          Not even worth the time or money
                          Absolute JUNK. I pulled one out, brand new, went to drill through some 18ga. It snapped. 1/4 inch bit. THEN I went up a size, pulled it out of case and dropped it like 3 feet onto a wood floot... it BROKE. So I have a new set of drill bits, 2 broken bits and have yet to drill a hole. Yeah These are going bac kto HD, last junk from DeWalt I get.

                            These drill bits are great for around the house projects that you encounter. The sizes are from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch totaling 21 bits. The compact locking case is excepional and all bits are held firmly in place, so that you will never lose a bit. The bits stay sharp and are well engineered.

                            The drill bits were great standardly sized for a beginner diy kit. They drill great through wood and metal so far. Great product.

                                Very bad design flaw
                                I'm debating on whether or not to return this. The rows seem stuck together, you can barely see the sizes which for some reason they mark the 3rd row on the 2nd. They could of just went old school and have all rows lay flat, then when you open it you flip up each row.
