Real cheap drillbit.

I am well aware of the possibilities of destroying even a very high quality HSS drillbit by improper use.

But the pic shows an 8 mm " Pro Q TiN" treated one, bought at the dime counter for various goods.

"Used " in a equally lousy drill. And the flutes straightened and the drillbit was not even very warm.

If nothing else, it is funny.

Just keep drilling with it and soon you will have a left handed bit.

China at it's finest LOL

The new flex drill bit? Made partially from plastic? Will sharpen right up? Drill bit for Bruce Jenner?

Seriously tho... had to hit some torque to twist like that.

BTW. What material were you drilling with it?

 

[A_Pmech]

Well that was impressive! Lol

I actually lol'd. Seldom does that happen. Good stuff.

I was "drilling" thru a steel sleeve with a nominal ID of 8,0 mm that had some rust, not more than 0,2 mm. ( Rubber bushing with steel sleeve, part of a VW front suspension)
As to the applied torque, it was not much , drill was a cheap battery powered no name.

I am still surprised. The "drill" is now displayed in the place where we keep weird stuff.

Second life as a paper weight more like it. The same thing as the first life should have been. That bit is junk.

I've seen it once before. Years ago a friend bought a drill bit set from a TV "infomercial" and it was full of the same gold coated Chinese junk bits. Some of them just bent like plastic as soon as you put weight behind them. They were absolutely worst drill bits that I'd ever seen.

He was throwing them out anyway so I grabbed one to test in a small piece of mild steel. LOL, it did exactly the same as with the OP's bit. As the drill exited the back of the steel it snagged a little, as they often do, and literally untwisted itself just like that. I wish I had have kept it or taken a photo instead of throwing it straight in the trash.
