Bosch Professional 19-piece PointTeQ HSS Twist Drill Bit Set (for Metal) – ProBox drill driver accessories

If you drill through metal often, it quickly becomes annoying when bits slip, wander, or heat up and lose sharpness. This Bosch Professional 19-piece PointTeQ HSS twist drill bit set is built around a point design that’s meant to start cleanly, plus a configuration that covers a wide spread of common sizes.

That said, it’s still a drill bit set: it’s not going to replace proper planning for hole layout, speed control, or the right chuck fit. On paper, though, it’s the kind of accessory collection that can save time when you’re doing repeat workshop tasks.

The essentials

This is a 19-piece HSS twist drill bit assortment from Bosch’s Professional range, using the PointTeQ tip design. The set is aimed at drilling holes and centre holes through a range of materials including alloyed and mild steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron and plastic.

The focus is on three practical ideas: faster drilling through metal, more durability (with less heat build-up), and better starts thanks to a self-centring, anti-slipping tip. For anyone who regularly needs accurate hole beginnings, that matters more than you might think—especially when you’re starting on smooth metal where a bit can easily skate.

What to know before you buy

You’re getting multiple diameters in one go, which is often where these sets win versus buying single bits. The scope of delivery lists 19 round-shank PointTeQ HSS twist drill bits, covering Ø 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 / 6.5 / 7.0 / 7.5 / 8.0 / 8.5 / 9.0 / 10.0 mm.

The mention of reduced shank design is also relevant: it’s intended to help you drill through metal quickly thanks to the special drill bit tip geometry. That’s the sort of benefit you notice during real work—less fiddling, more drilling.

Still, do keep expectations realistic. The set’s material list is broad, but “works on” doesn’t automatically mean “effortless on everything”. If you’re working with particularly tough materials, you’ll still need appropriate drilling technique and feed/speed choices to get consistent results.

Where it shines in day-to-day use

The PointTeQ tip is the standout here. A self-centring tip design is specifically meant to prevent slipping and help you begin drilling more easily and efficiently. If you’ve ever watched a bit drift off-centre at the start of a hole, you’ll understand why this is worth paying attention to.

Practical example

Say you’re mounting a small bracket onto mild steel. You mark your centre point, then start drilling with the smallest bit (for example, 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm). With a self-centring point design, you’re more likely to get a clean first bite, rather than spending time correcting the angle. Once the pilot hole is established, you can work up to the final diameter from the kit—rather than hunting for a single replacement bit.

Key takeaways

• The set is designed for metalwork, with guidance in the description covering alloyed/mild steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel/cast iron and plastic.
• The PointTeQ tip is built to reduce slipping and improve the start, which can help with centre holes and hole accuracy.
• Increased speed is mentioned as a way to reduce heat build-up and lower wear—useful when you’re drilling repeatedly.
• You’ll have a broad spread of diameters from 1.0 mm up to 10.0 mm in one ProBox bundle.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you want a practical, multi-size metal drilling kit where the start quality is a priority, and you regularly need centre holes and finished holes across a common range of diameters. The PointTeQ self-centring idea is aimed squarely at reducing slipping right at the beginning, which is often the moment where projects get messy.

It’s not the best choice if you only drill one or two sizes and would rather buy single bits to keep costs down. It may also not suit you if you’re expecting a drill bit set to compensate for poor technique—bit performance still depends on using the right approach for the material.

If you’re choosing between buying in bulk versus piecemeal, this set leans towards “ready for the job”: you’re covered for a lot of sizes without rummaging through your drawers.
