Replaced a broken tip in my DeWalt set

I broke a tip in my DeWalt Cobalt set. I can not. The incomplete set kept me up at night. I'd rather be hit with a crowbar than have an incomplete set of drills. I'd rather find out my wife was having an affair with my brother Kenny than have an incomplete set of exercises. I'd rather have my parents' threesome with my high school gym teacher than an incomplete set of exercises. Furnished.

Pros
  • Pilot Point and Split Tip Design
Cons
  • Small Parts

DeWalt bits are generally nice and sharp when they come out of the box. Even if you pay more for cobalt, the lifespan varies.

Pros
  • Designed for use with carbides
Cons
  • Has been damaged

Stainless Steel Lifebuoy

I was able to successfully drill a cleaned stainless steel set screw with this 3/32 Colbalt drill bit. I had previously tried titanium nitride coated drill bits that I had on hand but they literally wouldn't go. So I bought this beat and am happy to report that it worked. Don't overdo the speed and occasionally use a drop of Tap Magic Cutting Fluid if you plan on drilling stainless steel. One detail to note is that Revain's product description at the moment says it is a "Pilot Point" drill bit.

Pros
  • No need to walk - more user control
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
