I have bought drill bits twice and use them to drill holes in the bottom of ceramic flower pots. The price is really good compared to what is sold at Lowes. The key to long life is using water when cutting. On my first few purchases I made a lot of cuts with the first nozzle before it eventually wore out and usually used water, but I didn't do that with the second nozzle and it wore out quickly. With my second purchase I used water every time and the drill bit still works after drilling many holes. Any drill like this wears out, even expensive ones, but with water it lasts much longer than I expected and the price is very good.
