Review on πŸ”© Economy Reduced Shank Drill by Drill America Qualtech by Jump Robinson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Well it will cut through plain wood and possibly Al.

This accessory arrived very quickly and was packaged so that it was not damaged or rusty. A very big plus. in this. Although "hey, it's only $22". I then went to the garage and spent 30 minutes on the drill press (low speed) attempting to drill a full pass through mild steel 1/4" 2" OD square tubing. This is ridiculous as the bit and workpiece are properly aligned and regularly lubricated. The first took about 20 minutes, the second about 10 minutes because I pre-drilled it (in about 20 seconds) with a smaller drill bit (Dewalt 1/2 titanium coated). In the end, despite the care, the bat was completely faded and most of the coating was removed. Not only the coating has flaws, the metal is also too soft.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Doubtful
