HSS drill bits are also the best drill bits for soft metals.A drill bit's suitability for drilling into certain materials usually depends on what the drill bit is made from and coated with.

The drill bit size you need for a wall plug will depend on which wall plug you use. Generally, you’ll need a drill bit that’s the same diameter (in millimetres) as the wall plug, but for accuracy, you can drill a pilot hole using a slightly smaller size drill bit first.
