I got the same skinny bits, but they're not the correct two, and they're stripping. They're Chinese, not Americans. br>I'm going to give you a one-star rating.
No, these aren't rust-resistant.
Selected User Reviews For DEWALT Screwdriver Bits, #2 Phillips, 25-Pack (DW2002B25)
These are decent bits that can handle a lot of torque and are a good replacement for my old 25-ton bits. I have a pack of DW2125, but I also have a pack of DW2402 that I don't use because they aren't the same. I included a photo to show the difference, and even though they are both two Drywall Bits, they are clearly different. Because one has a weaker shaft and a narrower point, it spins out of most of the screws I have, including coated drywall screws. The other is sturdier, has a blunted tip, and fits snugly into most of my screws. . . particularly deck screws, gold screws, and just about every type of coated drywall screw I've bought in the last ten years. years. These are the ones I'd recommend if you're driving something with a lot of torque and don't want it to spin out. Someone on the DW2125 listing inquired, "Are these the ones with reduced head?" indicating that someone else has most likely purchased the incorrect screw type.
I had the same item number, but it was made in the United States. This is a piece of Chinese garbage. The item number on the box matches the illustration, but neither the box nor the bits match the illustration. br>br>NOT TWO BLUNTS, BUT TWO TAPERS. These are primarily for drywall screws and should not be used on regular #2 screws. They're going to keep falling. The "staking" used to form the Phillips tip is inconsistent (misshapen and varies from bit to bit, as is common with Chinese bits). It'd be good for slingshot ammo, but that's about it. Don't be a slacker!.
The Dewalt bits I've been buying from Home Depot for the past 20 years are soft and wear out 10 times faster! br>Is it possible that I'm not the first to voice my dissatisfaction? Is this a batch that has previously been identified as defective? Your cost was reasonable. Is that because you bought the product in bulk because it was defective?br>Today, I finished up the last of what I had on hand and started on the first four of your bits. br>My Amazon return window has closed, so I'm probably out of luck, but what the hell? I'm sure you've heard similar things from other customers who purchased the same batch of components. THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE! br>When I return to HD, I'll pick up some more. It'll be interesting to see if theirs suddenly deteriorate to the same level as these. br>I'd like to hear what Aserson has to say about it.
I've worked in the manufacturing industry for a long time. Please allow me to clarify a few points. When you've got a machine, you can do whatever you want. It's probably for the best if you have a flaw. Don't get mad at me because I said it. If everything in the world were made of the strongest materials and had no give, catastrophic accidents would occur if/when something failed. It's for this reason that automobiles have crumple zones. br>br>What's the connection between drill bits and this? Because if you use the toughest bits on your soft screws, they will last longer. You'll completely ruin your screws and never be able to get them in or out. That's most likely one of the many reasons Dewalt put together this massive collection of bits. You wear down the bits rather than the screw heads as you use them and wear them down.
I usually like Dewalt products (including this one), but not these ones. I've driven approximately 35 miles since buying these bit tips. 5" screws were used to fasten the plywood to the board. The tips keep breaking, and two had already broken out of the first 15 screws. I'm crossing my fingers that it was a fluke and that this third but tip will last long enough for me to complete my project. On the same project, I used a total of two different brand bit tips, each of which lasted long enough to drive hundreds of screws.
The tips of these bits break off, as shown in the image. To make matters worse, the broken off tips become stuck in the screw head and are difficult to remove, which is necessary if the screw is not fully inserted. br>br>I've had other DeWalt bits that were excellent (long lasting, good gripping, and not easily broken). This is a waste of time. br>br>The box in which my bits arrived was not the same as the one depicted in the product description.
They did not send me the tapered tips that are shown in the box; these are the ones that come out on almost every type of screw made. It's not entirely Amazon's fault, but it's a huge disappointment for me because I've been a Dewalt customer since 1960, when they sold to Black & Decker. Decker. They should have melted these tips down for scrap because they're so bad. Now, the tips they show in the package are good, and they are actually better and last longer than the new impact tips they are making now. I wish I had opened these sooner because I didn't need them for another two months after I purchased them. Because I would have returned these, I used them for a light job and went through six tips in one day, baffled as to why they kept coming out. Normally, a tip ("Like the ones in the package") lasts me one time. 3 months if used aggressively, or longer if used normally. If you sign up for the Bi-Monthly auto-refill on these, make sure they send you the correct tips as shown. I should point out that the tips were not actually wearing out faster; they simply didn't fit in the screws properly to begin with; I simply assumed that my helper had worn out the tips due to improper screw gun use. After replacing the tip in my own screw gun, I realized it was the tip, not improper usage, that was causing the problem. Honestly, I don't believe I received two Phillips bits; instead, I believe I received one, despite the fact that the shanks are stamped with two numbers. The Dewalt tips shown are, in my opinion, the best made for impact or regular guns.
The bits appear to be adequate, but they will not accommodate a 3" galvanized decking screw. It will enter with a lot of body weight, but the head will be spun out. To get them to go in, I'll have to remove that screw and pre-drill pilot holes. It's just a pain doing studs between floor joists because I'm short on space and can't seem to get them to grab very well. The Vermont American bits were my favorites. I'm thinking of using these for smaller screws and buying a new set for larger ones.
