Review on Norseman Premium 44170 240 UB Degree by James Lesley

Good drills in the past. I remember those days. But then the world went crazy with cheap imports. I've been using beats from the big box store for a few years and I hate them. Bad geometry, they don't burn, don't break, cut and I can't make a lot of holes out of them. My bank was littered with incomplete sentences due to a glitch. And I got tired of breaking my wrists when they tied me with a piece of steel and kicked me like a mule. Two years ago I had a job where I had to drill a hundred and a half inch holes in a quarter inch board. I knew I was doomed to import, so I bought three Norseman half-inch drill bits. What do you know I got the job done with just a drill bit and there were still holes left to drill. Fast forward about five minutes to this job and I bought this Norseman set. I use it often. The beats fit great. Not a single bit is broken. It is such a pleasure to open the case and see that every detail is still intact and in place. I wish I had bought this set fifty years ago! Yes I would buy it again but I don't think I have to. I keep all my old drill bits in a tray next to the drill press. Anyone who uses my shop can use them. But I keep this Norseman set locked away in my tool box. They belong to me. MY! And you can't use them! I also bought a Norseman set of four bits over half an inch. A good set that is also worth the money. Btw, after watching many YouTube videos about the best cutting fluid for drilling steel, I came across one that said only pure water in a spray bottle should be used. Drills do not need lubrication. Bits need to be driven and cut. But they need to be cooled, and there's nothing quite like plain water to cool steel. Works perfectly. Who would have thought that.
