    Is Zephyr Still OEM for Snap on Bits?

    Its 25 + 25 shipping or free shipping over 40 dollars. So I ordered two sets for the same price as one with shipping. If they are real and I don't have to return them/file a buyer protection claim, I'll let you know and if you want a set I can put it in the mail. I don't need two, but its either...

    Now that I look at the extensions, they aren't rebadged, they are insty bit. They have insty bit stamped on the quick release. Not sure why the ebay vendor is selling them as norseman, maybe they are, but there aren't any norseman markings on them. They may not be norseman at all, since I have...

    I'm glad to hear it, many other people have as well. Drillhog does source some of their products from quality manufacturers. Personally though I just prefer not to roll dice with my money. Yes, I am sure they are fine bits and they honor the warrantee. But tools are one place where people pay...

    I agree they look like the quick release offerings from milwaukee and Bosch etc. (The intsy page doesnt have anything that resembles these), but it is of a wholly higher quality. I have the milwaukee and have had the Bosch before. Also, these norseman pieces are made in the USA. Milwaukee...

    Is Zephyr Still OEM for Snap on Bits?

    My bank seemed to think so too, immediate fraud alert. They take PayPal so I just used that. PayPal buyer protection makes it pretty risk free. I'll let you know if its a scam or not, when I get the bits or when I file a claim to get my money back from PayPal. Since its the only place it seems...

    So to actually respond to your question, after deciding to cancel the drill hog order, I am going with these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Norseman-29pc-CN-TECH-NITRIDE-CRYO-M7-Drill-Bit-Set-1-16-1-2-MADE-IN-USA-CT-29/162273916978 Not mechanics length, but other than that, seems very well suited...

    I am sorry I hijacked your thread OP. You can safely take drill hog out of consideration now though.

    I am surprised at the lengths this person seems to be going to to cultivate a brand. They use an aged corporation, may have been one they had that went inactive, or might be one they purchased as an aged shelf corp. Montana LLC created in 2017. The Nevada parent is the aged corp. It was formed...

    In my quest to try and drill down actual evidence one way or the other this place looks like a total scam shop. You're right I didn't read it as carefully as I should have. It also does throw in that they are a manufacturer AND distributor. It then goes on to talk about how THEY are specialists...

    It does say made in the USA on some of the products, and not on others, which I agree is conspicuous. Strangely though on amazon, it says made in the USA for some products that it doesnt say made in the USA on on their website. I can return the bits, which I may if the weight of the evidence...

    If this is the case, it is fraud. They hold themselves out as a made in the us brand. Why do you say they source their bits? They claim to make them all in Sunburst, MT. https://drillhog.com/pages/about-us I'm not disputing any of this. Just would like to know. I mean they explicitly hold...
