I ordered 3 different sets. 2 just got here (the metric and the "rugged case" one). The drills are indeed stamped or lasered w/SSCo on them, I ran the 3/16/4.8mm @ 750rpm and they punched w/o issue on 1/4" mild and SS304. I compared against an HSS/HF warrior cheapo that struggled (though it may be blunt) and a HSS USA made one that also got the job done but not as fast. I ran all bits w/cutting oil b...even though one got 'blue hot' (I skimped on the fluid and was going fast) I didn't feel it slipping or chirping. Both bits ran true to my eye.
We'll see how long they last but AFAIK, you can get true cobalt bits for a bargain in 2025. Also, although the "ruggedized" case may look the part, it really is not, it's thin plastic and the holders are even thinner blow molded plastic. It may do a better job of keeping the bits in place while on the go but I don't know about long term. The metric metal index ones I have no complaint about and the Co is stamped instead of lasered which may wear out.
edit: I chucked them all on a hand drill and run out looked good on all (Much better than the last 10$ HF set I got
). Lastly, Cobalt is one of those 'conflict metals' that I'm not sure with deregulation we are caring much about ethical sourcing, but I definitely don't think the Chinese are.edit 2: the third set came in. This one's not stamped or lasered cobalt (5th in the list), has the typical titanium oxide gold coating instead of the darker straw color of the other two. From what I understand the color isn't indicative of much since cobalt bits can be coated. It just says HSS but did a decent job punching holes on mild and stainless. The box has HSS4341 on the case (and a "cobalt" qrl) which denotes a "budge friendly" HSS steel that's softer than cobalt alloy. I may or may not return since they performed well but I'm not thrilled about the potential false advertising and overpaying.
edit 3: I'll be returning the above and ordered these:
edit4: I tried drilling SS w/a hand drill and started well but chipped one cutting edge for one of the sets (9/64"). These bits may be too hard to hand drill when not perfectly straight. I can sharpen of course but won't get the 135 deg double grind. Maybe the larger bits are fine?

An algorithm determines whether or not you need to be offered a coupon, based on your order history. Have you ordered similar items in the past, and at what price point? Have you selected similar items based on delivery dates? Will this be a one-off purchase or do you buy similar items frequently? Sorry, Bryson but we don't feel we need to entice you to buy this item with a coupon. We predict you will buy it (or something similar) anyway.
I like mine. Cheapest price I’ve seen in years with 2 batteries. The charger is fast. $240. I’m partial to Makita.
Looking for stem casters, I bumped into these:
edit: I have a set from the same vendor I paid 42$ for on ebay. Die cast aluminum body, some hard durometer PU for wheel. No comment on durability since it's a lathe table project in the back burner at the moment. Packing was flimsy so may have lost a nut or two....metric if I recall.

Looks like a complete plastic junk. Besides, the title shows 2200 lb capacity whereas, based on the description, the total capacity of all four wheels together is 1100 lb (which is a wishful thinking anyway). Maybe it would work for a chair or nightstand though.

No comment on durability since it's a lathe table project in the back burner at the moment. Individual on ad lists them as 275lb/per, so I'd go with that to be on the safe side.

I want to see if this will work out as a layout fluid/applicator. Good option to cover your envelopes/recycling before you toss it too.

The 2.5" shows 550# per caster, so you have the 2200# overall (theoretically).
Is there an easy way to drop these onto the wheels and then move them back to stationary, or do you have to "re-level" each time you take it off the casters?

I thought I saw the listing as 2.5" & 2200# but it must've been a different vendor. I dunno why these guys opted to "double" the specs in the title...
Think of them like race car on-board jacks. The load gets jacked and wheel lifted off the ground and if you need to roll, you gotta ratchet the jack short. I guess to answer your question, I don't think there's an easy way to relevel unless you mark the floor where these go and mark the landing pad at the housing level line (red lines below). Vendor carries this cheaper one but same principle.

Yeah, was really hoping for more like the old CM ones I have (not the same weight rating). You lower the pad to where it is on the feet only, and when you want to roll, you step on a lever which has a J channel. When it gets to the (left) end of the J, the wheels bear the weight (it lifts the pad as you push down on the lever). At the top of the J, wheels are retracted and it sits on the feet. Adjust once for needed travel, repeat swapping back/forth as needed.
These seem like the wheels are for the rare occurrence, and then you spend a bunch of time re-leveling once you get it in position. Though I guess you could "count" the ratchets down and then back up?

I think the one's you're talking about are like some I've posted before but they jut out increasing the floor space (image below)? You still gotta relevel if not moving back to the same location right? I'm not sure I understand how this wouldn't be a problem unless returning to the same spot.....
edit; I think I understand what you mean. You level the machine's/table's feet, then rely on the lever casters below to move and when it's back on the same spot, you drop them on the preset feet. They make these removable, so only the receiver remains on the machine:

Gone for me
Was looking for some switch magnets for sheet metal and while I didn't find the ones I wanted at a price I wanted, I came across these that seemed reasonably priced (check dimensions as they may be small):
this was a bit of a fail (the intent; not the product). The rollers do a good job of covering completely with a few rolls and come precharged w/black. Both the black and blue ink is a bit "waxy" though which dries fine on paper but remains wet on an impermeable surface...makes sense since you wouldn't want this to dry while sitting unused. I haven't hit it w/a heat gun yet to speed up the drying but at that point, a fat blue sharpy or buying dykem is the better option. I think dykem is likely alcohol/acetone based w/a shellac mix so dries fast and hard. The lacquer surface makes the scribe pop as it chips around the scribe making it bigger. W/this stuff the line is super thin & hardly visible since you're cutting into "oil"I have a set from the same vendor I paid 42$ for on ebay. Die cast aluminum body, some hard durometer PU for wheel.

I'll have to find my can of purple PVC primer and give that a shot. Anyway, you can get twice as much volume of the original as my experiment for 11$ or 9$ shipped from walmart or zoro or 4x as much for under 20$; hindsight and all that.
