USA drill bits

[Kev442]

A few weeks back high quality drill bits were discussed here. This was on a list of USA tools posted a few days ago. I thought I'd share as they look very interesting. It appears they were having the same problem, no good bits to use with their drivers and adapters, so they made them!

Glad to see an inexpensive made in the usa drill bit set. I'm looking forward to a review of these. Nice find

Added to favorites. With all my favourite European bits(Artu and Bosch) being outsourced to china I think I'll switch to these.

They dont have a huge variety of sizes (I only see a 17 piece set), but I am willing to give them a whirl.

Sorry to say that when I found this company I had just invested in new bits. I am 2 or more years away from needing more as I use a Drill Doctor too.

Advertised at Menard's over the holiday's, I'll have to swing in and see if they are a stocking item now.

most of these "small" drill bit companies are just rebranding. Theres really only a handful of drill bit manufacturers left.

These are very, very good bits. Made in USA and even my wrecking crew(maint. crew I run) has a tough time breaking them.

Just went to Montana Brand Tools and ordered their 45 piece set. When it comes in I will give everybody a review. I sure hope its good as I would like a good USA made source.
