Dodged a big one! I have no use for this, but can't resist a bargain. Fortunately it is OOS everywhere.

Quote from ToolDeals :
The best bits are expensive retail, but the single flute bits should probably be avoided.
Flat-out WRONG, and indicative of someone who never uses step-drill bits.

Single flute bits are what you want. Dual flute bits walk as they cut. You start the hole in one location, and each time it starts cutting the next largest hole size, the center moves a little bit.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot drill, to drill the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Sorry, by no. Every bit I have ever bought at harbor freight is junk. Stick to the rule "If it has a motor or is suppose to be sharp don't buy it at harbor freight."
Nah man those hf step drill bits are legit. project farm tested the shit out of them and they hung with the dewalt and Milwaukee. They started failing on the bulletproof steel…

Quote from searchresults :
See Adam Savage's most recent video on his favorite tools. He says there is no appreciable difference between the cheap and expensive step drills. If you're doing thousands of holes, yes. But even for him he says the Harbor Freight ones are fine.
