Type of review

I keep this set in my cordless drill case for small jobs and it comes very handy for those jobs. The drills have a special tip that cannot be reproduced if you sharpen them by hand or use the DrillDoctor. I've only used them in one tree and they work very well. I understand that if I use them on steel they will soon dull and I can't sharpen the point head to original specs, so I only use them on wood, plastic and soft metals. Made in Taiwan.

Pros
  • Made from high quality HSS with a black and gold finish for extra corrosion resistance
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

With a name like Turbomax it should be good

Tool accessories are just as important to quality results as good tools. The best drill only produces smoke with a cheap drill that dulls quickly. Many craftsmen learn from their own experience that it is possible to buy many cheap tools or one quality tool. Accessories are no different. Those $9.99 drill bit sets sold at your local hardware store are cheaply made from inferior materials. They will inevitably fail when you need them most. As a rule, you can buy tools and accessories from…

Pros
  • Turbomax tip eliminates "wander", digs on contact and stays sharp longer
Cons
  • Wrinkles easily

Meets my modest needs

My DIY enthusiast can't get the pickiest guys up Running but there's variety. This means I'll have to drill different holes from time to time. I mainly work with wood rather than black (soft) metal and plastic so I'm sure they'll last a long time even though I'm using these tools As I'm quite pleased, I have to point out a few oddities. First, (and my fault), it's about 3/8" and not 1/2". Second, and maybe not useful, mine came in a rectangular case, didn't it the one with the beveled top…

Pros
  • Includes sizes from 1/16" to 1/2" x 64 and a reduced shank for bits over 3/8"
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
