I received a coupon worth 25% off any one item in the store. It said we miss you so here is 25% off. I used it today to buy a shop crane.

It‘s a pretty unusual coupon. Targeted at past customers who haven’t bought anything for a long while.

Maybe I should have bought a new Icon 73 inch roll cabinet. I could have saved $750

Pretty sure I worked my way up to 30 or 35% off, getting the we want you back emails weekly, before getting a free bag of zip ties at the register, and that ended things.

A lot of people say HF drill bits are junk & for the most part I agree. I have that 115 pc cobalt set except when I got it it was branded as Drill Master. It was $99 regular price when I got & of course I used a 20 or 25% coupon. But that was many years ago, not sure what the normal price is these days.

The drill index is junk as expected but functional. I swapped it out for a Huot index. They have been holding up very well for me but I only use them in my mill or lathe. I have seperate sets of drills dedicated for cordless drill use only.

In the recent years I have heard people say the tip grinds aren't that good/sharp. I don't know the truth in that but I have a pretty nice drill sharpener anyway.

This goes back two years, but I'm thinking about buying this:


I have $25 HF cash and with the 20% off this weekend, that would bring it to about $85 bucks without the tax.

Is it worth that in 2026?

Steel Rain: I have that set. It's OK for wood, aluminum, and not too thick mild steel. Not for thicker or harder steel, or stainless. It's nice to have a complete set. I can replace the ones I use as they break or wear out. For context, I also work out of a catch all 3 drawer index of small, medium, large bits. In other words, bunches of bits that I rummage through. So I am not super fussy.

I had the chance to buy that set cheap when it was Drill Master(or was it Warrior) and decided to pass based on reviews. I needed some number bits and bought the 60 pc titanium Warrior set for $12. To date I don't think I've used them but I got em!

Sets I do own and have used and highly recommend, no regrets:

BAUER Black Oxide Silver and Deming Drill Bit Set, 8-Piece
My set was under the Warrior name

WARRIOR Titanium Nitride Coated End Mill Set, 20-Piece

This is an all time low at $295.99 after 20% (ITC coupon). Last best price expired on 12/28/25 for $299.99. I still have a $130 HF gift card left from the motorcycle lift recall.

But... would a Dewalt Stealthsonic be just as good for less :unsure:

Thank you both for you input. I've been wrenching for years, but I've gotten by with big box store brands and ****** drill bits for to long. The only "real" index I own I got from Dad and it's small diameter stuff (Cle-Line).

Here is the set I'm going to buy around Black Friday (if someone has it on sale):


That said, it would sure be nice to have a backup index of bits I don't care as much about. I'm not a machinist, but I do use drills often (like weekly) so It's time.
