Where are those made?


Received one pack of 10, made in China. I thought they were Japanese made. Still not a bad deal. Thanks for posting.

I don't know the meaning of the terminology, but they are "Japanese tooth" style. Perhaps the shape of the tooth cut???

I caught that, and wondered the same thing. Thanks for confirming, Made in China...


These were on offer two packs for £20 . It might help my creaky joints by keeping the cold and damp from the concrete off me when under carsIMG_20240323_090840.jpg

Dad used an old piece of carpet. I thought that was nuts, because carpet just soaks in any oil spilled (not to mention metal shavings and other garbage). I "upgraded" to a large cardboard box (flattened like a break dancer).

I actually prefer using a creeper, but I haven't found one low enough (or with good enough casters to roll freely on asphalt). Plus, I'm really cheap when it comes to things like this...

How are those Cle-Line Jobber drill bits? I'd like to buy bulk drill bits so I can just pitch old ones when they wear out.

I don't see anything indicating that's a 12-pack, and that Cle-Line part number shows to be a single drill.
I got that specific item a couple of months ago, and it was a 12-pack.

ETA: They aren't as good as the black and gold Triumph bits, but hard to beat at 12 cents ea.

I see that now. Odd that the HSS drills were marked "Pack of 12" and these aren't. I just got five dozen of the HSS bits yesterday, may have to try a few of these too.

Can you keep us posted if Amazon cancels your order? They very frequently do when there are pricing mistakes of that magnitude.

Got mine Monday.

Not particularly impressed, though. I ordered it to see what all the hoopla was about.

Disappointmrnt is the only emotion I can offer.
Yeah. I am in agreement with you on this
Disappointed

I too ordered a set of Vessel Megadoras based on the hype here.
Read endorsements like, Better than Snap On, blah blah blah...

First time use, I boogered up the tips of two JIS's (yes.... used properly on JIS screws)
Had to go back and use my Snap On #2 phillips
