Description of ๐ง High Speed 15 Piece Chicago Latrobe 150ASP Set
Set of 15 jobber length drill bits includes inch sizes 1/16" through 1/2" in 1/32" increments. High-speed steel (HSS) provides hardness for wear resistance. Black oxide finish reduces bit wear while promoting chip and coolant flow on ferrous material. Self-centering 135-degree split point penetrates hard material without a pilot hole and produces small chips to reduce clogging. Extra thick web for increased strength and rigidity compared to standard drill bits. Made in the USA.
These drills are nothing like the junk you find in big stores. Well made, cuts like a dream with minimal pressure in both hands and the press. the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the holder could be made a bit better so it can stand firmly when pulling out the bit holders,
These bits come in a durable metal case that contains these bits and is coated with light machine oil to prevent damage. Each bit is made in the USA which is marked on each product. I recommend these high quality bits which are far superior to the cheaper but well known brands of drill bits from Craftsman, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch currently made in China or any low cost country.
Received today and tried it right away. I have a 1983 Jeep CJ7 that I am restoring and after removing the roll bar and seat belts I had 5 bolts whose heads came loose when I tried to remove them. I've had Milwaukee "3x" bits, which are stronger and break like toothpicks trying to get through old screws. After literally breaking every bit in this set, I decided to look for a better quality bit. I used this set briefly tonight and started with a small piece and worked my way up to larger piecesโฆ
