There are purchases not made impulsively but out of necessity. One day you might need to hang a picture but lack the right drill bit. Another, putting together a piece of furniture and the screws don’t fit. And when you finally find a “complete” toolkit, it usually arrives late or with parts of questionable quality. That’s why when a brand like Bosch offers a well-stocked starter set at a bargain price, it’s easy to understand the interest: it’s the kind of kit that solves 80% of the small jobs around the house without any fuss.
In this vein, the Bosch X-Line Titanium, a 70-piece case aimed at drilling and screwing tasks at home, the workshop, or the garage, is making waves. The standout deal lists it at €17.99, with a 38% discount announced. Simply put: it’s a small investment for having the essentials for drilling and screwing organized and without improvisation in a single case.
The set triumphs for a very everyday reason: in a regular household, wood, wall, and metal are encountered more often than one might think. From tightening a loose screw to drilling a hole for a shelf, including quick fixes in the storage or garage. The Bosch X-Line Titanium is conceptualized as a “wardrobe essential” kit, with pieces to cover common materials and screws.
According to the manufacturer’s description, the set combines metal drill bits with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating — aimed at longer life and resistance —, masonry drill bits reinforced with hard metal (carbide), and wood drill bits, including flat milling bits also with TiN coating for a faster cutting speed and clean and precise holes in wood. An important detail: the metal drill bits with TiN coating are indicated for various metals, plexiglass, and hard plastics, but not suitable for aluminum.
This nuance, sometimes overlooked, precisely makes a difference when buying a kit to “use without thinking”: not everything is suitable for every task, and a good kit makes that clear.
Beyond the drill bits, the set includes screwdriver bits for most common sizes and types of screws typically found in any home assembly: Phillips, Pozidriv, slotted (flat), Torx, and hex formats, among others. Some product sheets also describe that the case includes socket wrenches, a socket adapter, and a measuring tape for quick measurements, making the set even more practical for assemblies and small installations.
The case itself is designed to keep each piece located, which may seem minor until you lose a 6 mm drill bit right when you need it most. In DIY, order is also a tool.
In many cheap kits, the problem becomes apparent quickly: drill bits that lose their edge, screwdriver bits that round off, and a kit that ends up being “for emergencies” rather than regular use. The strength of the X-Line Titanium lies in part of its drill bit set incorporating the TiN coating, a common finish to enhance resistance and durability in metal and wood drill bits within these types of sets.
Translated to domestic use: it doesn’t mean it’s indestructible, but it points towards a more consistent tool for repeated tasks (installing blinds, assembling shelves, fixing supports, etc.), as long as it’s used sensibly: appropriate speed, correct pressure, and the right drill bit for the material.
This type of set tends to be especially useful for:
– Those moving in or setting up a home and need a “starter” kit for assemblies and fixings.
– Drill/screwdriver users looking for a variety of drill bits and screwdriver bits without buying them separately.
– Occasional DIY projects, where common tasks are addressed without investing in more expensive professional toolkits.
– A practical gift: for someone always fixing things, or for the typical “need a drill bit and don’t have one” scenario.
And this is where the price plays its part. A 70-piece set with this variety, when priced at €17.99, becomes an easy purchase to justify: it doesn’t promise to make anyone a professional but does avoid many unnecessary trips to the hardware store.
