Drill Bit Sets ... anyone?

[JayL]

I purchased a few sets and maybe someone would be interested too.

What are the difference between the two sets? The only difference I can see is the name. Super Premium Black and Gold vs. Super Premium Gold Strike.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[sharkytm]

Anyone try giving them an offer?

:edit: The difference is the 3-flats ground on the drill or not. Same bits, incredible quality.
::edit2:: Accepted $50 as an offer...

 

[Refractometer]

Thanks for the heads up. Just sent an offer of $50 also.

 

[sk farmer]

i have the top set.

50 dollars shipped is a great price.

i paid a fair amount more than that locally and still think i got a good deal. it is a little hard to see the sizes in the drill index but it is very sturdy and weather resistant.

 

[Buckgnarly]

Accepted 50 from me. Which set has the 3 flats?

 

[Refractometer]

The Norseman 40614 Jobber Length Ultra-Dex Drill Set, 29pc, Gf-29P have the 3 flats. That is the first set linked in the original post.

My $50 offer was accepted for this set. Free shipping on this item.

Just to provide some additional clarity, these bits ARE NOT the same material. I called up the manufacture to get additional clarity.

1st link - The bits with the 3 flats, # 40614, are HSS
2nd link - The bit without the 3 flats, # 44170, are hi molybdenum tool steel, which is supposed to be thinner, less brittle and therefore “better” than cobalt in work hardening materials. Which means you can run them a little faster.

Just wanted to share this info as it’s different than the previous info shared and it was key in making a decision on which set to buy.

Link to the drill bit type for the 2nd bit. http://www.norsemandrill.com/Jobber_Facep5.html

 

[Refractometer]

Great information! Just what I needed to justify buying both sets!

 

[buttface]

Nice find JayL,, I picked up one of each. I already own a set of each and these are awesome bits. Haven't broken one yet and the case is super handy. Quality made in USA product.

 

[sharkytm]

I broke down and ordered the Moly set too. Tried offering $45, he countered at $50, so that seems to be the price.

 

[fr0mastaj]

Also got a super premium set (moly). And I have a set already! Thanks.

 

[Car_Guy]

Well this seems like as good of time as any to get some quality drill bits... I submitted an offer of 49... lets see where the real bottom is.

Lol I submitted an offer of $48, so we shall see! Any money I save gets to go to more tools!

 

[TerryH]

Saw the first set in my local bolt and screw place for $150.00. I bought a couple of individual bits for a project I'm working on since I didn't want to spend that much for the set. They are great bits. I made the $50 offer. Thank you JayL for posting this!!!

 

[ezover]

put in a offer for 50 each, no reply yet.

 

[mrbreezeet1]

[ADSR]

Offer in at 10 bucks.

Yeah, Ha Ha, Any recommendations on the best set if your just buying one?

 

[fr0mastaj]

I would get the first link/super premium one. That is their top of the line bits. I could do without the three flat shanks for better metal!

Got one of each for 50.00. Thanks I'm always in need of drill bits.

 

[LG63]

My $50 offer is still sitting there. He may be waiting to see how many sell at the BIN price before accepting anymore offers.

Same here. So far nothing.

 

[91bronc300]

And the Moly's are no longer available.........oh well.

 

[TerryH]

I decided to just buy it now on ones with the 3 flats before everything got pulled. WAY cheaper than any place else that I saw even at the $59.99 and they are super good bits.

No willpower! I'm sitting tight at $50 although I'll probably regret it.

 

[MJB24]

Maybe I will go in at $50.01

 

[jackfork]

I put my 50.00 offers in around 7:30pm central last night, and was accepted at 9:43pm.

 

[Jeff95TA]

I put mine in this morning and it was rejected.

 

[Recoil Rob]

I just offered $51 and it was accepted in about 10 minutes.

 

[Fast_Eddie]

I just offered $51 and it was accepted in about 10 minutes.

Same here, put $51 in for both and he accepted both this morning.

 

[Jeff95TA]

I guess mine was rejected because they ran out. I'm trying for the other set!

"I really did need a set of bits, so technically this isn't am impulse purchase, honey." Just practicing!

 

[Buckgnarly]

Back up...

[MJB24]

I was at Fastenal this afternoon and they sell these or atleast I think it was the same item. Certainly the same brand. My price was $133

Thanks, Yes, I guess the ones without the three flat shanks that are better metal are gone.
I just offered $51.00 for the other set, the HHS one with the flats.
Wating for the reply.
Did anyone write him about if there are any more of the better metal ones?

[Tim-Bob]

I just put in offers on 3 items and he responded as they arrived. It isn't too often that ebay vendors sit at the computer and respond that fast. I also did buy a moly bit set at full price yesterday. One heckuva deal as far as I'm concerned!!!

 

[mrbreezeet1]

did he accept the offers?
does e bay send you an e mail re: the offer was accepted or not?

 

[Skin]

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but the first set posted (gold) appear to be Ti coated and really cant be sharpened?

 

[sharkytm]

Um, they can certainly be sharpened, they just won't be TiN coated on the cutting edges anymore. The coating will still be on the flutes, which is at least something.
