High quality American made drill bit, with superlative finish and accuracy, I have been using these for some time for my lathe work- they give clean, accurate holes, rapid cut, and concentric center and accurate lip grind helps keep your hole from wandering. If you can use a cheap bit, can tolerate as less than perfect hole, and plan to discard after use- go for it- I understand the need to save money- But if you need clean pretty work, and plan to use over and over, this is a good option- These drills are very durable, and can be re-sharpened easily- so if they are treated with normal care, they will last a very long time. As a wise friend once pointed out to me " I am too poor to buy cheap stuff." I have reached an age where I really really understand what he means- Quality supports you for the long haul- choose carefully-

Bought this bit to install a gasket into my smoker. The hole was cut but was not necessarily the cleanest cut. I was able to get it installed and then used heat caulk. The bit did not show any wear after the drilling of my smoker so it appears to be sturdy.

The drill bit comes in it's own square plastic tube, which is nice as it wont roll around in the drawer when stored. This looks like a quality tool right out of the tube. This 37/64 bit is the drill size for a 3/8 NPT tap, which is what I needed and why I bought it. I use a couple smaller drills to step up to this one and this drill cuts great. When I put the tap in, it fit perfect and make a nice set of cut threads. I would recommend and I will be buying more drills from this Champion in the future.

Hubby was needing this for work. He is pleased with both the quality and the price.

I was installing towing brackets to my 2001 Jeep Wrangler. Instructions called for a 17/32” drill bit. This one had great reviews and a decent price. So I gave it a shot. I had 4 holes to drill through the bumper which was easy as the metal was pretty thin. Then I needed to drill 4 holes through the front tubular frame. Using a Ryobi, 18 V hand drill I was able to easily cut through the frame. I didn’t think I could do it this drill bit made it possible. There’s many more holes left in this bit! And I’m told it’s American made!

I bought this for a simple computer case modification. I do not regret the decision to buy it.The good: The bit is sharp and in two uses has maintained its edge. I am not an expert on metals and engineering, but it seems to be a quality item. Thus far both times it has been used, the bit has cleanly cut through the thick aluminum of my custom made case. It comes with its own bit holder for storage rather than just a blister pack. I found this convenient for placing in the tool box. The size of the bit and the holder make it easy to find in the toolbox later. The smaller diameter shank enables this bit to be used on smaller drill chuck sizes though as any bit, will not fit all chucks. Ensure your drill can hold this bit before you purchase. It is a large diameter bit, even though the shank is smaller, it is also still a fairly large diameter.What could be better: I am not a metallurgist, so unless there could be some improvement there, I can find nothing that could make this a better product than it is. Readers should note, all drill bits dull after a time of use, but most can be sharpened.

Drill about 30-40 hole in 5/8 steel with hand drill before i chipped the corner, my fault .Still cut .I was impressed. Would by again

Drilling 50mm deep in hot rolled steel.

Drill everything just like butter. Highly recommend. Used it to drill in my truck frame to install a front mounted hitch.

Ok

I ordered the 17/32 drill bit to do a small job. It came sharp and looks to be of good quality. it did the job I needed and stayed sharp through all the holes.
