PSA: Viking and Norseman Drill Bits

[Loscaldazar]

They're the same company. Their manufacturing facility is located in St. Paul MN (not too far from me!) and product numbers are pretty much identical between the two. Norseman seems to be the more popular brand online, which leads me to believe viking might be popular in industrial supply chains. Catalogs are almost identical too.

Couldn't find this information clearly spelled out anywhere, so I thought I would share. The local ACME tool store carries vikings, so whenever I ruin a Norseman drill bit, I can just run there to replace it!
