Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the drill bit's exceptional sharpness and durability when cutting through steel and hard materials, with most noting it stays sharp through multiple holes and handles thick steel plates without overheating. Many highlight reliable, consistent performance across demanding applications. However, some report frustration with shank size discrepancies—receiving 1/2" shanks instead of advertised 3/8" or 11/32", making them incompatible with certain drills. A few users experience premature dulling or bending, though these issues are uncommon. Overall, most customers consider it a dependable choice despite compatibility concerns.

Not as bad for me as some people
Would RecommendAlmost didn't purchase because of previous bad reviews. Used this to drill a number of holes in 11/16 mild steel using a drill press on low speed with lots of oil for cooling and lube. All holes pilot drilled with 3/16. Guessing if I had hand drilled at a higher speed with no pilot my results would be different. Don't know how many holes I could drill but bit still feels sharp.

because it cost you more doesn't mean it's better
Would Not RecommendWhen we first started Drilling I thought this bit was amazing when we went to drill the third hole it was already dull we was drilling 1/8th inch Steel but I didn't think a drill bit at that cost would dull so quickly
