Review on Viking Drill Tool 88640 Premium by Walter Day

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stay away, great exercise! The color convinced me!

Loved the beats! From 1 to 60, all very sharp, the label is stamped on the metal of the holder and the large miter angles on the bits. I immediately checked the 3rd largest bit and drilled the 1.25" VERY heavy steel driveshaft all the way through. Cardan bearings. One drop of 3 in 1 oil and this attachment cut like no one wanted. I made a mistake however and put the hole in the wrong part of the Shaft set so I had to drill another ANOTHER hole on the other end 1.5" curved steel with sex appeal! Totally amazed at how good the quality was. I examined the bit tips with a magnifying glass after use, right next to and next to the Virgin siblings to see how badly worn they were while my 240 lb butt hung on the drill handle and banged it through the steel.Very minor wear from the blast through those two holes and it was only visible with a magnifying glass and saw with the naked eye Looks exactly the same as its unused siblings so I'm very glad I bought these beats and very happy to see that they were made in the USA as a gift rd! These beats don't use cheap Chinese labels. Not the highest level of insane "Engineering World Cup" quality, but definitely way above average and leagues after leagues above all the half-priced beat sets I've bought at the big stores (big stores rhyme with " Gnome Depot" and " Slowed". For those who appreciate the quality). Would I recommend spending a few bucks more on these drills than Milwaukee or Dewalt twist drills? Absolutely, 100%. Can I recommend them to housewives who do household chores? probably too much for her if she only drills wood and doesn't really have high demands for precision and extreme durability, but if she drills metal and uses bits frequently - then no doubt 100% would recommend these bits, hypothetically "they" (or "him" or "Sir Ma'am" or whatever the heck someone calls it) itself, as in this hypothetical situation) Just buy them and you'll be happy with what they did to have. Then come back here and we can share stories of drill fights and have a contest to see who packs the biggest drill in their tool bag! I hope this helps someone understand the Beats better and help them make a purchasing decision.

Pros
  • Division point 135 degrees, #1 - #60
Cons
  • boring packaging
