AaronPerkins Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Great day at Harbor Freight today. Got a new rotary tool and a complete set of precision carbide drill bits.
AaronPerkins Posted January 30, 2016 Author 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 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

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 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!
