Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-27 Summary: Great set ... I have always used old High Speed Steel bits and they work ok until you have to drill into something a little harder than mild steel. These bits come in a nice case and are worth the money IMO. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Excellent,unbreakable, no frustrations!!! ... Over 40 years I have purchased approx. 15 sets of drill bits for my husband. I finally decided that the old saying "You get what you pay for" rings true regarding this drill bit set. My son-in-law purchased a Dewalt 1/2 " drive (heavy duty) drill for my husband for Christmas. Using both products together really got the job done. He has used the bits to drill through 2 1/2 inch pipe to create a "portable" corral/loading area for out cattle. These products drilled through the thick steel materials like butter. He also ...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-26 Summary: They Work ... The reverse spiral flute design is just about identical to the Sears Craftsman Bolt-Out. The Sears version accepts a 1/2" square drive, and fits into 1-1/16" sockets. With the Sears version of this tool, you are able to get a lot more power behind breaking that bolt free. I have used the Sears version with a 1/2" breaker bar, 1/2" impact driver, and a huge 1-1/16" wrench. So if Sears offers the same socket sizes, why get this one? If a fastener was rusted, stuck, or stripped; you need all the power you can get, right? ...more

I had tried the Grip-Tite and had no success, I tried the 3/8" Bolt Grip socket and it slipped off also. I was about to give up and then I realized with the Irwin design I could set the teeth of the socket by tapping it on. I had it on a foot long extension and used a hammer to tap the socket on, attached a long handled ratchet and SUCCESS. I did have to tap on the bolt to remove it from the socket, but there were no signs of wear so I ...more
