Drill bits

Featured Replies

Looks good on paper but I think the quality of a lot of the bits is subpar - this set is made in china...

Was thinking the same thing. But the price is still worth it if you get a few uses out of them. I can't tell you how many I've broken and didn't have them when I needed them. I have all kinds of sets from various companies and they all suck. What you really need is a good set with the heavy bottoms for lack of proper termnology. Freakin tiny bits spin in the chuck. Aggravates the hell out of me.

not a bad deal for a quick fix but what I need is a good bit sharpener, got buckets-o-bits already.

 

bhunted-you prob mean the hex shank bits, yup, a must for the tiny bits

I break and lose the damn things all the time. This will work for me. I just ordered a new drill set so the timing is perfect. I did pay for quality on the power tools though.

No matter how "good quality" the bit is, if you exert too much pressure and the diameter of the drill is small you will eventually end up with "failure".  While I agree there are better quality products out there, it's better to have something of questionable quality rather than trying to make an undersized or oversized drill "work".

Yep ..... I've snapped higher end bits before putting too much pressure instead of just letting the bit do the work

I hate Sears, their customer service sucks and it seems it's always a hassle dealing with their employees.  But, I needed some drill bits and the sale looked good so I decided to bite the bullet on this.  Got on my computer and ordered online for in-store pickup.  I saw they had a nifty new app for your phone for curbside pick-up too.  As I expected things went south far and fast.  When I got to the Rockaway Sears I pulled into one of the two specially marked spots and fired up the app.  They claim you will wait 5 minutes or less and someone will bring the product right to your car.  Well the app would not work at first telling me something about network errors, yet I could get mail and view web pages.  Then it told me I had to be in the store to use the app?  That made no sense, was I supposed to drive through the store?  So I went to the in-store pickup and there are no humans there, just a kiosk.  It asked for my phone number, and it pulled my order right up.  So far so good.  That is where the problem started.  I said yes that is the order I wanted.  It then insisted that I insert the credit card that I used to place my order.  Well I used a credit card that I use only for online purchases and don't carry that one with me.  So, no go.  No person in sight so I try the app again.  I then figure out that to use it you can't use your LTE signal on your phone, you have to log into their guest WiFi.  So, I do that and tell them I want my order.  It tells me I will have it in under five minutes and a countdown clock comes up on my phone.  Great I think, and go sit in my car waiting for my order.  In 90 seconds a kid comes up to my window with my drill bits.  He is ready to hand them to me when he tells me I need to show him the credit card I used to place the order.  I explain I don't have that but can show him my driver's license.  He does not know what to do, so he says hold tight he will get someone else.  A minute later a slightly older kid comes up to my passenger side window and tells me without the credit card they cannot give me the order.  I tell him then cancel it and ring it up with another card.  He tells me he can't do that.  I tell him to get me a manager.  So I follow him in and wait 10 minutes for the manager.  She gives me the same crap.  She then disappears for five minutes and says they will have to cancel the order and I can give them a credit card to ring it up with.  I give her the card and start to follow her and she says this is an employee only areas and I should wait.  I wait another five minutes and she comes back and tells me to follow her.  We go through another door which also says employees only.  She rings it up.  I told her that I appreciated her assistance but issues like this is why I almost never go to Sears anymore.  Did not even get a response from her, just a deadpan look.  After a few minutes she rings it all up gives me about 20 feet of receipts and says to go outside and someone will bring it to me.  Well it was a good price on a nice drill bit kit, but it will be a cold day in hell before I go back there.

Weird - I ordered a set for store pickup a couple months ago with no issues - woodbridge sears.  They had store pickup (no curbside).  Walked right in, went up to the kiosk, they had it to me in 2 mins.

I love my Sears Hardware 1 min down my street :), The big dept store- eh....

Sears auto has pissed me off in the past. But if I need a tool for work and need it today I go there.

that seems like an awful lot of work for something that could take 5 minutes to go into the store, pick up, pay and leave..

Yea, that is what happens when you try to do things the "easy" way :(

I hate Sears power tools with a passion. They are junk. But their hand tools are great.

 

Now don't take this wrong. But why the hell curbside pickup at all? This ain't the Macaroni. Grill.

 

One of the trials and tribulations of being a man is going into a hardware store, (in my case, the Sears Hardware Store on Bloomfield Ave in Caldwell), grunt like Tim Allen, scratch your balls and tour every aisle whether you need schtuff or not! I love excuses to go to hardware stores. Gives me a reason to maybe discover a new tool that I did not know about, or I may not need but like it so much, I buy it anyway.

 

So put your big boy pants on, grow a pair and have fun going tool shopping! ;)

I had the full 19.2 set from craftsman. It worked great but after years the batteries died. But instead of buying batteries I'm going to big boy dewalt. 20v brushless
