Review on πŸ’ͺ Drill America DMOD1 Solid Carbide: The Ultimate Power Tool for Precision and Efficiency by Smiley Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cuts through chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel like a hot knife through butter

This carbide drill is very hard and very sharp, and with almost no pressure it was possible to cut through chrome-molybdenum-vanadium to drill alloy steel. For my particular application, I had to incrementally rotate the drill from 45 degrees to 90 degrees to get to the recessed end of the blind post. The racquet held up like a champion and didn't break despite lateral pressure. This is probably due in large part to its incredibly smooth and efficient cutting ability. This is a very high quality bat - I highly recommend it. Other people who use cobalt steel bits have been very frustrated. This Drill America carbide drill bit did the job in seconds where others took over 2 hours.

Pros
  • Jobber drill
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
