Drill Bit Sets Help Assure
That You Have The Right Bit For The Job
In recent years, there has been a complete change in the design and
functionality of hand held electric drills. A whole lot of advancement has
transpired. The chuck is now hand tightened rather than having to use a key.
With a very slight and quick action, the drill bit can be either secured or
loosened. Another major advancement has been the advent of the cordless
drill. Even the cordless drill has gone through quite a transition. The one
cordless drill that has risen to the top of the list is the
18v cordless drill. There
have also been some good changes over the past several years with
drill bit sets. The biggest
change has been the variety of drill bits there are now to choose from.
Another big change that has been a big step forward is the
hex shank drill bit set.
This has become a lot more common for
various sized screwdriver bits. A majority of drill bits still come with a
cylindrical base which is prone to slippage. Hex bases are available which
can be purchased separately. This hex base can then be used with any other
hex drill bit or screwdriver bit. You can buy the base which is magnetized
which allows for easy insertion and removal of the
drill bits set.
One of the reasons the old standard drill bits are made with a rounded shaft
is for safety reasons. This way the drill bit becomes more prone to slip
when it gets stuck instead of breaking off. In case the bit gets stuck and
breaks at high speed, it could result in flying shrapnel which may lead to
some serious damage or injury. The biggest chance for damage is with the
broken end coming down on the material and damaging it. The broken end of
the drill bit could be removed from the material with a pair of pliers.
You can now buy the drill bits set with hex bases along with the quick
change type chucks. The only issue is that these hex based drill bits are
not available in combination with magnetic hex drill chuck sockets. This is
because the quick change chucks are friction grasp based on round drills
though they could be used with the hex based bits too. The fact is that a
magnetic hex chuck and the hex based bits are available today but have a
limited number of drill bit sizes.
There are a number of brands of drill bit sets on the market today. Probably
the best quality drill bit set on the market today is manufactured by the
Rodman & Company Inc.
This superior drill bit can be used
to drill through ANY surface. You don’t need a different kind of bit for
different materials. This drill bit takes the place of a
tile drill bit. It will drill
easily through ceramic tile, granite or even concrete. What is amazing is
that it will also drill through cast iron. The bits in this set are made
from a chrome vanadium steel shank that delivers enormous strength. They
take the place of cobalt drill
bits as they can drill through any kind of metal.
The tip on these bits is a blend of Cobalt and Tungsten Carbide. You
can take the same drill bits and drill easily through any kind of wood. Yes,
this also takes the place of a wood
drill bit. The only place you can buy one of these drill bit sets is at
a Trade show or State Fair. They travel across the nation, so they will
probably be in your area over the coming months. They sell a standard set of
13 ranging in drill bit sizes from 1/8” to ½”. Bosch and Makita both offer
some really good quality drill bit sets to choose from. Either brand is top
notch and should hold up well.
