What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this drill bit's performance. Most praise its exceptional durability and cutting power, reporting it drills dozens of clean holes through thick steel plates, I-beams, and truck frames without dulling, outperforming competing brands and lasting 28-32 holes per charge. However, many others experienced rapid failure, with the bit dulling within seconds or after just one or two holes, sliding uselessly across surfaces or bending after minimal use. Some appreciate its solid construction and secure fit, though this rarely compensates for inconsistent cutting ability. Overall, reviewers remain split between calling it the best metal drill bit available and warning others to avoid it entirely.
