Is that spiral metal hole making thing actually a drill bit, or just a drill? I will go with drill.
I have a couple of drill sets, with every sized from one sixty fourths to half inch. The second set has a little better quality drills than the first cheapie, but even so I am replacing a drill or twoat least a couple times a year. I occasionally break the teeny ones, but it does not take much metal work to dull a larger sized drill.
For the three sixteenths and one quarter common boat work sizes I soon sprang for pricier Cobalt replacement drills. And anytime I have a lot of metal work to do I will buy the drill size needed in Cobalt and replace the one in the drill set. I do like the fact that the newer Cobalts are gold in color, so I know which ones I have replaced.
I need to make some three eights inch holes in thick plate aluminum, through something I absolutely, positively can not afford to screw up, and already had an extensive hardware store list in hand. Screw it, new Cobalt drill.
Ten bucks for one drill? There has got to be a better way. Maybe instead of replacing them one at a time I just buy 20 piece set of Cobalts and fill in from there as needed.
What do folks active on the shop drill team purchase and use?
