These
Impact drill and do not spin true. I had to have a set replaced as they would not fit in my just purchased Makita 10.8v combo set with drill/driver and impact gun.
The second set wouldn't fit in the drill driver but did fit in the impact but even so they really wobbled.
I mean do they even have a QC department at all or do they just pull one drill out of a batch on 100,000 and see if it doesn't wobble more than 1/4"?!
I'm keeping the second set and buying Apex bits locally and those are supposed to be the best.
I mainly bought this set for the hex spade bits. This set is black oxided and that's a good thing.
My former company used to do a lot of black oxide and it's really great at rust prevention from condensation or vapor.
But don't keep it soaking wet or it will still rust.
Anyway this set is mostly junk. The Cordless Impact drill look like they have aluminum 1/4" hex glued on and aluminum isn't good for drilling.
I was a machinist for 16 years. Steer clear of this bit set. The Dewalt set looks better, but Apex is what I'm getting, they spin true and yes they do cost some money but they are only 59 cents to replace a broken bit.
All bits break eventually, but they break a lot less when they don't wobble like a drunken clown on a unicycle with a flat tire, riding down a cobblestone street!
