AaronPerkins Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Great day at Harbor Freight today. Got a new rotary tool and a complete set of precision carbide drill bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronPerkins Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Only cost 31 bucks for both. Had a 33% coupon for the rotary tool. A few of the carbide bits are thickness of a hair so most of them will probably get used in the pin vise. But all in all I expect to get a couple years use at least.

Agent G Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Trust me on this, use the carbide drill bits as finger drills. They work wonders but are very, very fragile. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI wish I had seen your message before I started using them. I busted 2 of the bits using them with the rotary tool. However, once I started using them as finger drills they cut right through anything extremely smooth. Thank you for the tip. I think I would have busted them all through trial and error.

CometMan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 How long will it last?I agree Jim, there is a reason why Harbor Freight tools are so cheap! Just depends on how many times you plan on using them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
