A 118-degree drill bit is better for general-purpose drilling in softer materials like wood and mild steel, offering faster penetration. In contrast, a 135-degree drill bit is better for harder materials, as its flatter tip provides better stability, reduces walking, and lasts longer when drilling metals. The choice depends on the material and precision required.
