Two of them broke on first use, but are subject to possible user error.

They were packaged well but two bits broke the first time they were used on thin galvanized steel. I'm not a contractor, but I often use drill bits for DIY projects and have never broken a drill bit. To be honest I've never drilled into this type of metal before so it might have been user error but I think it's unlikely.

Pros
  • UNIQUE 3-CUT DESIGN - Lichtamp's 3-flute drill bit with patented drill bit design removes chips and particles faster for more efficient drilling.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Everyone gets smaller.

later They seem solid and straight. What annoyed me the most about these drill bits is that they are all significantly smaller in diameter. Why can't Chinese manufacturers learn how to use calipers and tune their tools? They have some trouble turning because they may be the right size. Will not buy again due to this problem. I'm more comfortable with regular precision sized drill bits.

Pros
  • SMOOTH DRILLING - 135 degree split-point tip and curved design increases cutting speed by self-centering and prevents slipping or walking.
Cons
  • I'll add

WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE!

I really like these drills. I've been a mechanic for 45 years now and a friend recently introduced me to this type of drill. I bought them hoping I wouldn't need them. Then, on the final torque pass of the complex assembly, I had a bolt click. The drill drilled through hardened grade 8.8 steel as well as aluminum. Careful use of the easy exit has saved me hours of disassembly. I cannot recommend them enough.

Pros
  • MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS — Ideal for drilling tough carbides including hard abrasive alloys, hardened stainless steel or cast iron.
Cons
  • Crumpled
