Drill bits have come a long way, from early hand-drilled bits to the advanced designs we see today. Historically, simple pointed stones or sticks were used to create holes, which later evolved into early metal bits that required manual force. With the advent of power tools in the 19th century, drill bits advanced quickly. Today’s options range from basic twist bits to high-tech, material-specific designs, including carbide-tipped bits for masonry and diamond-coated bits for glass.
