Description of πͺ Efficient Drilling with DEWALT DW2554 8 Inch Shank Drill: Unmatched Power for Your Projects
The product is 1/8"hex shank drill bit. Easy to use. The product is manufactured in China. Split-point tip prevents walking. Black oxide coating provides longer life.
The second hole I drilled in this plastic saw the drill bit come out of the shank. I was able to fix it so I didn't have to send it back. But this problem directly points to quality control problems.
This product breaks easily in this packaging if you try to take it out of the packaging. I use these speed drills a lot! They can be very clumsy - to the point of stupid, and with this awesome red drill and fast bits you can get the job done in under a minute. Don't forget to use an awl and a small hammer to poke the hole a little first. As the Norwegians say, "USE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB!β With the right tools, I can now set up shelves faster than Super!
Bought two of these as spares as sometimes when drilling pilot holes they hit another fastener or have an accident and replacement is usually required immediately in the downtime to avoid. DeWalt is generally good quality, but these manufacturers in China that assemble in the Philippines are not. I may have gotten the parts from a bad lot, but both drill bits I received when I finally needed to use them had the bit in a pine hex shank. Not after a while, but drill the first hole right awayβ¦
