Review on πŸ”© Task Tools T60012 Countersink 82 Degree: Efficient Drilling and Chamfering Solution by Andrew Kay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as sharp as I imagined

Was hoping I could use this to drill some 5/16 to 5/8 holes in 3/16 steel plate. This drill is not sharp enough to do this job on just one side of the metal. I've used countersinks that are more than sharp enough for this purpose, so I was quite surprised to find this one starting to choke. However, this bit is strong enough to be used for its intended purpose, just to bevel a hole, so I can't complain too much. If you can reach both sides of the metal with a drill bit, you can probably drill a hole with that bit as well. I also believe it did me enough damage to now insert a 5/8" bit into the hole without it slipping or missing, completing my project.

Pros
  • HSS countersink for use in steel, iron etc.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
