Quality drill set

[f150skidoo]

My current set of drill bits are ****** imports, I have been wanting to upgrade for a while. I only drill in mild steel and 9/16" and larger I have annular cutters. So I'm looking for 1/16" to 1/2" by 64th jobber bits. Two sets I've been looking at are 29 piece sets from Precision Twist Drills and CLE-LINE which both sets are made in the USA any reviews on either brands of drill bits or other brand suggestions of good quality drill bits.

I usually just use one drill but I like my Norseman drill bit set.

I've had a good experiences with Norseman HSS bits. They can be had for reasonable prices from Epsteins and some other industrial suppliers.

Norseman SP-29 looks to be your baby!(I use the mechanic length version of the same stuff)

I have this set from Kimball Midwest... They were pricy $$$ but they have proven themselves time and time again and are great bits.

I also have a couple sets of Snap-On bits that I won't bother to look up and link. They weren't worth the $$$ spent IMO.

What's everyone's opinion on Snap On drill bits?

Same quality as Norseman, etc but steeper price. UNLESS you have a nice driver that would replace broken bits with no fuss.(some have had luck, some not)

Gotcha. Norseman looks to be quality stuff. Might sell my Snap on set then. Still haven't gotten around to using it.

It is!, Norseman is owned by Viking, which also operates Consolidated Toledo Drill. These are the two kits I have.

Mechanic length for drilling metal.(with hand drill)

Jobber length for everything else. Eats PVC and wood for snacks.

I'll keep these saved in case I need them in the future. Thanks [emoji2]
