so many options

Customwelder11 · 06-25-2009, 06:38 PM

so my dads birthday is coming up and like every other wood and metal worker. he has just about every tool you can imagine.

but lately he has been dropping hints about needing a new set of drill bits. and i couldnt agree more. it takes to damn long using them

so i have been looking on amazon at all the different sets...

considering he mostly uses them for wood, however occasionally metal. i dont know what set to get him

i was looking at the AHN-3018003 29PC TITANIUM DRILL BIT SET from irwin

whats your ideas?

Does he have a "drill doctor" tool for sharpening bits? I have bits that are 50 years old and were just dull and useless in a box until I spent some time with the drill doctor I got as a gift. Now they are all sharp and work great. You shouldn't have to replace drill bits because they were dull. Now if he has all English sizes and wants a set of metric sizes, that is another thing altogether.

The Irwin set is top quality, be sure to get "MAde in USA" (I would take German or Swiss) anything else id junk.

Do your dad a treat and get him the bits and the Drill Doctor!

He will grin like a possum.
