Would these bits work for drilling through vehicle plastic panels?

Yes, most likely, though doing so may generate considerable heat and could melt the plastic.
255948
They will, but depending upon the curvature and thickness of the panel you may experience a chipped or rough edge. I'd recommend starting with a standard brad point bit and then follow it up with a step bit to get the proper size hole. A step bit should give a cleaner hole and won't be as aggressive. These spade bits are really more well suited for wood.

Yes. They are sharp and accurate bits. As a contractor, they are my favorite of all the brands out there.

Yes, but I think something similar to a Black & Decker 71-120 Hole Saw Assortment [B0009ZAEY8] is better for plastic. Search Amazon for Black & Decker 71-120 Hole Saw Assortment or item number B0009ZAEY8.

These are 1/4" bits. If you use an adapter you should be able to use them just fine.

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

They can be used in any tool that can hold an 1/8" bit or equivalent. If you press too hard you will wallow out the hole and they will become ineffective.

They should. They work with any drill that can hold up to 3/8" drill bits (most normal-duty drills do). Also, although made in China, these bits are high-quality and I have been using them in steel, aluminum, and wood. They are staying sharp. I recommend.

Yes, they can be used on an impact driver that takes 1/4" hex bits. However, since I don't see anywhere that these particular ones are impact rated, they're not actually designed to be used in such a way. Therefore, how long they will last if used this way is anyone's guess. My suggestion, get these that are impact rated. They're exactly the same (dimension wise) just a different material.

I used them for thin metal already, without any cutting fluid. I am no expert on cutting fluid, but I would think they would work with it. These are awesome bits, makes me wonder how I ever worked without these!

Absolutely....Just make sure a drill bit designed to drill metal is being used.

I would not recommend these bits for metal. For glass turn the bit at about 500 rpm and keep the tip very wet or under water. If these bits get hot they are ruined.

I have used the bits for a limited amount of plastic drilling. They go through it like butter. However, certain injection molded plastics forced me to spend a fair amount of effort cleaning the bits afterwards, as the heat and friction causes some plastics to stick inside of the bit grooves. Nothing that isn't easily overcome though.

Yes they will work on anything that need a hole punched in it, even thick card board, and for some one that needs to make thick gaskets for automotive use they work very well for that also.

These are wood drill bits. I am not sure how long they would last for your material.

I mainly use them for sheet metal. They allow you to cut very neat holes whereas a regular drill bit tends to tear sheet metal into shreds. I have also heard it works well with Plexiglas and other like objects.

Yes, they should - I've used them on the little screws on battery compartment doors off of race cars and such.

These are not masonry drill bits. I wouldn't recommend that. However DEWALT's DW5207 drill bits set would work.

I actually haven't tried them for such an application but it is my impression that they will break. I would use much higher quality high speed steel drill bits for non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum.

Yes all these bits will work well with that quality drill. Don't think you will be disappointed.
