What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Holes made with the drill are clean with a small burr on the backside. This cobalt step bit makes drilling much easier and faster. I always start my holes with a single sized drill bit, but this one looks like the tip may work for some materials to st... Read More
I wish i had this step drill bit back then since it was incredibly challenging to use just a reamer to accomplish my task. Cobalt bits are much better than regular drill bits.
Cutting oil has greater viscosity than water so it clings to the bit better. A cutting oil also has cooling properties and will not oxidize. The quad flutes lets them cut very fast.
The case is a nice addition to cleanly store these in a drawer, or haul in a toolbox. The storage sleeve is very useable. In a crowded toolbox, it is easy to find.
Step drill bit is well crafted and performs a smooth cut. Great buy for any kind of diy'er. Can be thrown in the tool box and not have to worry about it getting chipped up.
Highlights
Quality
We are looking forward to making many more projects with this product.
This product works as intended and as advertised.

I have several large tapered bits but none with the steps like this one.
Packaging/appearance
They get the swarf out of the way, so the step drills can speed into the metal.
I did find the packaging quite annoying.
Competitiveness
Thinking back in late 80s when some of car bumpers were still made with a sheet metal, i was using a reamer preparing to put a ... Read More
I saw no visible degradation on the cutting surfaces after making a few holes in 16ga sheet metal.
I compared this directly to a no-name generic step bit ordered from some random importer site.
