BITS!

A drill is useless without the bits. Which brand is your favorite and what style do you like?

I’ve been using the Milwaukee bits the last couple years. I’ve been happy with them. The Dewalt bits are alright too. My dad uses them and seems to like them. I’ll never buy cheap ass bits again though. Morse are probably the best bits all around, but the price typically reflects that. 

I have been happy with my bits. I got a 4 pack at Lowes for $25 and it had the impact ready, gold ferious drill bits and two normal screw driving sets. I have only had one impact break and it is the #2 drywall bit because i used it for driving every screw i have.

Please define bits please guys, because over here getting your bits out means something completely different.  LOL   🙂

e.g do you mean screwdriver bits as opposed to drill bits or does bits cover the whole genre as over here where anything that goes in a drill is a bit of one kind or another?

I thought we were talking about drill bits. Maybe I misunderstood though.

In that case may I suggest that Irwin are one of my fave drill bit manufacturers and also Bosch.  🙂

Any kind of bits

Speaking of Irwin I just bought a 7 pack of speedbore paddle bits for $7 at lowes.

Good buy

For drill bits I’ve always liked the Dewalt for the bigger ones. for pilot holes I always buy a bunch of cheaper bits because no matter what you get they break. For the auger bits I like the Irwin. I bought a set of Milwaukee auger bits but the 1/4″ shank  broke on them so I’ll stick with the Irwin.

I love my Milwaukee wood bits but I also love the Irwin ones also. The Milwaukee wood bits with the 1/4″ shaft have treated me amazingly, I use them almost everyday. For metal bits dewalt is my way to go!

How about masonry?

Standard or SDS?

Standard

Bosch 🙂

Yeah Bosch is the best way to go!

And sometimes you get a bit with your anchors if you buy the right brand

I haven’t bought a non-sds masonry bit in so long I really don’t have sufficient info to have an opinion. In my experience you can’t go wrong with Bosch consumables though.

I buy Bosch for masonry for sds and standard. They have lasted me a long time for the price.

Ever used any DeWalt SDS?

Yes and to be honest the drill bits were great but the impact screwdriver bits were useless the whole pack shattered in less than a day.

No, I bought a big set of cheap ass bits and I’ve added Bosch in the sizes I use most often.

I had my DeWalt bits since Christmas. None have shattered yet.

Wayne has a secret he’s not telling you. By night he’s a superhero. He has superhuman strength. Kinda like Hulk with a funny accent and he turns purple instead of green. His super strength transfers to whatever he’s holding like electricity looking for a ground. Rides around in a purple Mini Cooper and survives solely on Earl Grey and crumpets. I’ll let him tell you what name he goes by.

Not me.

Yes they do!! Over here they are pretty expensive…

I had to import mine from over there Bud so you can imagine it was damned expensive because the Postage cost more than the bits.

No worries turn the speed down a bit on your milti tool, and if you move it evenly left and right as you go I have seen the metal tungsten coated blade go through 700 nails over a day on a display in Manchester they are made in the U.S.A and are brilliant.  🙂
