welcome back to Steve Rob Rubio's today we're going to review drill bits drill bits that are
meant to drill into steel this drill bit here is the only drill bit that I have that was actually
made in North America it's called Norseman a company called Norseman out of Minnesota I
believe has to be almost twenty years old I paid 20 bucks for one drill bit so I'm gonna show you
some drill bits here gonna share my opinions I have no affiliation with any of these companies
I don't sell anything on my channel I'm going to show you some drill bits and my experiences with
metal cutting drill bits well here is one of my containers that I have of all my different
drill bits and some of them are referred to as just these black style ones and then you've got
these ones here they're called titanium coated and you just got the regular ones and I'm gonna
be honest with you to tell you the truth I don't know whether this color is just one of these with
this color on it I can't tell the difference I got all kinds of various ones now I picked up
this set it was hundreds of drill bits for 1999 about 20 years ago and you know these drill bits
are just terrific if you well they're terrific if you really don't expect much out of a drill bit
because these ones that are called titanium where you get like a couple of hundred for a couple of
bucks you know you only get what you pay for yeah they will cut steel and majority of the time if I
try to bear down on it at all and they just snap they're great for wood they're great for making
pilot holes these ones here of course these are offshore too and you know what for me I'm not
a professional at anything so you know a lot of stuff you see I don't have is professional
quality and most professional people would not even consider any of these they'd go with a big
brand name with a bigger you know cost as well because when it comes down to drill bits yeah
for me what I do I just sharpen them and you know I can carry on you know but you know like
I've got all kinds of these and you know they're more or less one-time use half the time you know
sometimes they're not even more sharpening these things but when you're looking at getting drill
bits how much should you spend you know and what is the purpose of it I mean for me I just picked
up this one here now I've had this for a while and this is a left hand drill bit you know and
I've used this for taking out broken bolts and it works great I mean this is an offshore brand
and I just received in the mail today these ones here and they're made by Irwin now actually Irwin
is actually made in the USA but some of the drill bits like these ones here are not so when I bought
this set they come in a twelve pack and I'll tell you right now I paid more for these two packages
here twelve in each one one is 1/8 and the other one is 3/16 then all of these drill bits together
and these are cobalt and you can tell that there is a huge like you can't get them mixed up with
the color can you see there is a different color there and I've been using these for a long time
and you know what on the box it does say see I get right in there it does say made in China but
you know what I'll tell you something there is a huge difference between these that are cobalt and
these that are titanium and for me there's a huge difference I paid I believe twenty dollars apiece
for each of these packages and you know when you're looking at getting drill bits how much do
you want to spend friend of mine is a machine and he watches my videos and he looks at these drill
bits and he has a good chuckle because yeah if you want a good drill bit you got to spend the money
so what do you guys think how much money do you usually spend on your drill bits do you actually
buy a good quality drill bit set or do you buy sets like this here that tell you the truth
they're throwaway drill bits I use them mostly for things that you don't want to make a big
mistake on could you imagine if you're drilling into a part that's worth you know like a lot of
money and you have that drill bit break in there was it worth you know the price of these low-cost
drill bit sets for me I would say no but most of the time what am i drilling some angle iron
piece of pipe that kind of stuff no problem for me and a lot of times yeah I can resharpen these
drill bits myself no problem but for many people they don't reach arpan their drill bits there's a
huge difference I tell you what a huge difference night and day between I'm not talking I'm not you
know promoting this brand or anything but there is a huge difference between an ER win' cobalt
drill bit compared to these here that are called titanium it's like night and day the stay sharper
I'm gonna say well how do you know how many times right what I'm saying I can drill a long time on
one of these before one of these dogs here will just you know get dull after about four holes so
yeah this here is the way to go for me and a lot of times like I buy a 12-pack of cobalt 1/8 drill
bits because I like to make a pilot hole first try and get a half-decent drill bit 1/8 that doesn't
snap off half the time because what am i drilling a lot of times I'm picking up bed frames and that
kind of stuff spring steel very hard on drill bits these things just chew through them like nothing
so thanks for joining me here today a little bit of a discussion on drill bits use guys let me know
in the comments below have you seen any drill bits made in your country because in North America here
there's not too many drill bit manufacturers left and the ones that are allowed well they
are the best and they are expensive and a my idea they're worth buying to use guys take care
come back again if you haven't seen this channel before well you're welcome to subscribe Cheers
