HSS Roll Forged 170pc Drill Bit Case – Timco

The Timco 170 piece HSS drill bit case is one of those sets that earns its place on the van shelf and stays there. Covering 1.0mm right through to 10.0mm in eighteen sizes, it handles the vast majority of everyday drilling tasks across steel, aluminium, plastic and other non-ferrous materials. Roll forged from HSS steel to DIN 338, these are proper jobber bits — not the kind that go blunt after three holes in sheet metal.

The 135° split point is the detail that makes the difference in day-to-day use. It locates on the surface cleanly without walking, so you’re not wrestling with a centre punch every time you need a quick hole. Penetration is noticeably faster too, which matters when you’re drilling fifty fixing points in a day rather than five. The black oxide finish gives a degree of heat and corrosion resistance, though these are cutting tools first and foremost — they’re here to work, not sit on display.

What’s Inside the Timco HSS Drill Bit Case

The breakdown is sensible. Sizes from 1.0mm to 7.5mm come in quantities of ten each, giving you plenty of the bits you’ll reach for most often. The larger sizes — 8.5mm, 9.0mm and 10.0mm — come in fives, which reflects how often those actually get used on a typical job. 170 pieces total, all with straight shanks, housed in a rigid carry case that keeps them organised and stops them rattling around loose in the back of a drawer.

At 4.11kg the case has some weight to it, which tells you something about what’s inside. It’s a working set, not a gift box. The sort of thing you hand to an apprentice on day one, or keep on-site as a shared resource that doesn’t walk off because it’s too useful to leave behind.

For tradespeople who go through drill bits regularly, buying the full Timco 170 piece HSS drill bit case in one go is a straightforward way to keep stocked without thinking about it every few weeks.
