Step bits: the October 2026 results

Original test: Oct 2026Catalog checked: Nov 4, 2026Testing by Project Farm

Bench ranks the TEMO sample first and DeWalt second in Project Farm’s October 2026 step-bit comparison. PF Shop independently read the original final chart, where DeWalt’s average finish is 3.3. The linked DeWalt purchase package is the DWA1790IR three-piece set; the result describes the source’s tested sample, not identical performance for every bit size in that set.

Test Method & Context

Bench’s summary is the primary catalog reference. The original final chart was visually inspected to resolve the source lineup and average finishes. The source compares drilling in several steel materials; no PF Shop test or invented score is claimed.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

The exact TEMO variant remains unresolved, so no TEMO purchasing link is published. Bench’s product list includes an ancillary opener and omits some unlinked bits; its displayed total is not used as a complete tested-lineup count.
