Excellent cutting. Keeps good sharp edges. Cleans out holes with out scarring. Use a good cutting fluid when drilling .

For years, I’ve struggled with inferior drill bits. When the time comes to drill a challenging hole through steel, the cheap bits get dull almost instantly. Not these puppies!I bought these bits to use only for those challenging instances. Turned out to be a great buy!Example: I bought a front-mounted Kubota snowblower for my tractor last year. It needed larger, aftermarket skids to prevent gravel from being scooped up from my driveway and into the impeller. The new skids required thicker bolts, plus an additional bolt on each side. I tried drilling a 1/8” pilot hole before opening it up to 3/8”. Neither my cheap “titanium coated” Harbor Freight bit set nor my go-to Dewalt titanium set made a dent in the steel housing. I reluctantly cracked open this set, added a drop of cutting oil to the tip of the bit, and got busy. Chewed through the steel like it was butter! Amazing. Well worth the money! Highly recommended. MADE IN USA!!!

I have drilled many many holes with these bits for 2 years. I have only managed to burn one drill bit up and that was a very abused bit that happened while it was drilling through a second hardened bolt. Don't worry, i used another bigger bit to finish the second hardened bolt and that one is still going through steel quite well. Despite many hand drilled holes through steel i havn't yet sharpened a single one. I'm sure a little touch up work could bring back that burned bit. I've broken the first 2 smallest bits. to be expected, especially for hand drilling. I use these drills every week usually more than once and i often drill half inch holes through steel. My hand drill chuck can't hold onto them well sometimes so i just went for a magnum series of the same brand with 3 sides ground in. I just went through half inch plate with mag drill. drilled many holes in the plate. after the pilot hole the half inch bit went through the steel like butter (i exaggerate) but it was fast. Most of the time i'm not lubricating the drills because I don't want to clean up an oily mess in the area. No drama. excellent drills.

Drill bits used to be good. I remember those days. But then the world went crazy loco with cheaply produced imports. I've been using big box store bits for some years now and I hate them. Poor geometry, they burn, they shatter, they don't cut, and I can't get many holes from them. My bench was littered with incomplete sets because of breakage. And I got completely tired of wrecking my wrists when one would bind in a chunk of steel and kick me like a mule. Two years ago, I had a job where I needed to drill a hundred half-inch holes in quarter-inch plate. I knew I was doomed with the imports, so I bought three Norseman half-inch bits. What do you know, I completed the job using just one bit, and that bit still had holes left in it to drill. Fast forward about five minutes after that job and I bought this Norseman set. I use it frequently. The bits bore beautifully. Not one bit has shattered. It is such a pleasure to open the case and see every one of the bits still intact and in its place. I wish I had bought this set fifty years ago! Yes, I would buy it again, but I don't think I will have to. I leave all my old drill bits in a tray next to the drill press. Anyone who uses my shop can use them. But I keep this Norseman set under lock and key in my tool box. They are mine. MINE! And you can't use them!I also bought the Norseman set of four larger than half-inch bits. Nice set, also worth the money.By the way, after watching many YouTube videos about which is the best cutting oil for drilling steel, I came across one that said to use just plain water in a squirt bottle. Drill bits don't need lubrication. The bits need to dig in and cut. But they do need cooling and there is nothing better than plain old water to cool as you bore steel. Works great.Who'd a thunk it.
