Questions & Answers

What do these look like? Do they have titanium coating? Is it okay if I say thanks?

The coatings on these steels are made of cobalt.

A part of this kit came with a round shank, but the rest had a flat side on it, is this normal for this kit?

Your question is answered by the 7/8 bit, which looks round, but has a small flat side. Hope that helps.

Firstly, please accept my sincere apology for purchasing these for a one-time use
5/5

I was going to drill about 10 holes in 18 gauge stainless steel kegs for a one-time project. On here, there are a few reviews of them not being able to drill through stainless and the bits being damaged when used on kegs. In fact, after you use these drill bits "correctly", they will drill as well as higher-end step Despite our age, the 1/4" bits and 1" are in great condition.

Intended to be casually used - It is OK if you are going to use these day in and day out in a hard-use industrial application, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't This place is familiar to me (I've This is the perfect set of bits for casual, sporadic residential use
5/5

The first time you use a step bit you'll wonder what you ever did without it again, and the small hole saw will become a thing of the past.

As far as I can tell, nothing bad has happened
4/5

In my case, I have only used two of them For what they are designed for, they seem to work just fine. Light oils, ethanol, perhaps) to keep the cutting edges cool and extend their life. In the absence of those steps, it will be hard for you to get your money's worth from The purpose of these tools is to open materials of lighter gauge, softer composition (e. g. A listing. Thus, those aluminum and plastic boxes for project work or the steel electrical boxes are excellent choices. If you abuse any tool, it won't last. Follow these steps As you probably Some people may be just like this they wouldn't care about the investment they just made in a tool if it meant getting the job done. A tool that belongs to someone else. By the way As of now, however, they seem to be of higher quality than the HF ones I bought and wore out on the first hole even with proper usage. As well as It's a nice touch to have the plastic case. Keeps the edges of your fingers (and your pocket).

My impression is that these are best used with plastic tubing or tubing with a very thin wall
3/5

The bit I used for enlarging holes in low-profile items worked for about two or three holes There was nothing else that even made Most of the bits were not even able to start cutting when even going slowly with lots of oil and a large starting size! As well as trying different sizes, I also tried going fast. The entire thing was worthless except for one part. In the one case when it worked, it only enlarged three holes before it stopped. The color red The brand sold at the big-box store The color orange Since I have been drilling exactly this type of material for years, I have used the same store. My website seemed to be getting a bit slow, so I tried these solutions. As it turned out, I went back to my old, heavily used step bit that wasn't that much more expensive, and it worked much better than any of these new The rest of these I will throw.

A price for an economy, a consequence for an economy
4/5

On the steel and PVC boxes I tested with the set I received, three of five bits had poorly formed pilot holes that didn't drill well. After you are in, the steps cut well, so if you want to make a bigger hole, you can drill out an existing one. Here is a full-length version of As the diameter steps are only 1/8" deep, you will need to decide what you want to do with thick materials. However, I won't use them daily to earn a living, so I have no idea how durable they will be. In spite of the case. being a little bulky, the bits will not get lost or damaged between jobs if they are placed in it.

Eff your sh*t, don't waste your time with junk
3/5

Using junk bits does not work. A large 1in bit was needed to drill an opening in my vehicle firewall for the power wire for car audio. This bit was not stiff or sharp so it did not Almost no expansion was made on the hole that had already been made with another bit and was already 3/4 in After a couple of days it already began to discolour, and which my other 3/4 bit could cut with ease, it struggled to cut into the thin sheet metal. It was a total letdown. The garbage in this shop is not worth buying. It is best to be careful when purchasing.

While they're not the best, they are decent
5/5

It isn't the best step bit on the market, but in terms of price, you can't go wrong with them. If you are a residential electrician who needs to change the configuration of a box every once in a while, these are the ones you need. There are more than enough of them. A commercial electrician who debates sending a common metal box to a metal fab for a common punch out modification but is wondering if a step bit will suffice, you might want to try these, but one of those seemingly expensive sets may be better suited. Nevertheless, if you are successful and benefactors, you are not going to be on the hook for a price negotiation, are you?.

This is an excellent and useful service
5/5

Since my current hitch pin hole kept the ball too far from the hitch, the safety chains would not attach as intended. I bought these to drill a 5/8 inch hole for the hitch pin in my trailer receiver tube. It took me no longer than two minutes to drill two small holes through the tube's 1/8 inch steel with plenty of oil. As I was finishing up, I found that the drill bit I used had not become dulled and was as good as new as I had found before. This is the first time I have bought a set and I'm undecided why I have not had one.
