Review on Powerful Precision: Unleash Efficiency ๐Ÿ”ช with Forney 20857 Magic Industrial Cutting by Michael Vargas

For its weight in gold.

Worth the whole day. Not only will you be able to cut/drill faster, but you'll also significantly extend the life of your tool. For the price of a $10 can, you can save a fortune on drill bits, not to mention a ton of time. And that little jar makes a big difference. Get it and use it. If you're not familiar, using it simply means adding a few drops between your material and the instrument. For example, if you're drilling steel on a workbench or press, simply squeeze a few drops directly onto the surface of the metal where you want to make the hole. When drilling horizontally (or even straight up), it's easier to apply liquid directly to the drill. If you see large shavings flying (or even long strings of corrugated metal), then you are doing everything right. If you only get small flakes (or the sound of your drill bit changes to a high-pitched screech instead of a satisfactory rotation of the metal), stop and reapply. Ideally, one should apply enough not to get to this point, which is what one can learn from it. This material not only cuts faster (and burns fewer bits), but also helps avoid "hooks" when drilling through metal, which can destroy the drill bit. It's very annoying to pull a hardened bit out of a piece of steel. Pro Tip: When drilling thick steel (e.g. thicker than 1/4 inch), it's a good idea to "wiggle" the hole a bit to avoid sticking and seizing. That's a technical term. When drilling, make small (very small) circles. .To sum it up: Drilling and cutting steel is worth every penny, ideal for impatient locksmiths.
