Had t'go that route didncha?

And I got bacon bits too

I win

You spread them on your kibble & bits?

Just on his naughty bits..

Nah man, my checks are still coming in. 😃

Drill bits work best for me in good old high speed steel..
Secret to bits is keep them cutting...use only cutting oil
..never motor oil or wd40...
No need for Cobalt or any.fancy crap..
Split points are great but can chop as the cutter is ledd supported.
But American made bits in HSS and they will way outperform any juiced up imports..

I got a set of cobolt they drill right thru steel but they ain't cheap.

I'm not sure this is correct, the Drill Hog label shows USA in fairly big letters. I'll be pretty pissed if this is not the case.

I do think Pal is correct. They are a re-labeler, or sourcer, not a manufacturer. There's some really really negative reviews to be found. They have a warranty but getting them to do anything about it seems to be non-existent. They may be the best Chicom?

I like Bit-o-honey....

^&*$@%!

I just went to the Drill Hog website and, of course, there is no way to contact them. No address, no e-mail address and no phone number - a tale tell sign that they're trying to hide something, namely that they're products are MIC.

Misleading, false advertising. Apparently, I got screwed.

I sent a message to the seller asking about the country of manufacture. We'll see what he says in his reply. If they're made anywhere other than USA, he'll be sending me a return shipping label for a full refund, since the ad was misleading - featuring a label with "USA" prominently displayed.

I'd be a bit pissed too! The set you got was not huge dollar though, right? Just use the phucqk outa them.

$31.00, inc. shipping on flea-bay. I didn't want Chinese bits. I've had Chinese bits before and they absolutely sucksarse.

I will happily spend more to get quality USA bits. I obviously didn't know that these were MIC.

You get what you pay for.

Yessir.

No word from the seller yet.

I think I'm gonna' give the Drill Hogs to my Dad. He's got about a thousand drill bits in the shop, but all of 'em suck. He needs a decent set and the Drill Hogs should suffice.

Then, I will decide which American made HS bit index to get - probably Norseman.

Yes.

Norseman.

You can get a handy round plastic index.

Buy them where the machine shops do.

Regarding the Boelube, which do y'all prefer - the paste or the liquid & why?

I received the Drill Hogs today and I think they might be American made. Embossed on the front cover of the index, are the words "MADE IN USA." Also embossed is "Huot," which I believe is a company that just makes indexes. These Molybdenum bits sure look like Norseman bits, but I guess there's no telling where they were manufactured. Drill Hog is probably just rebranding them and selling them under their own name. If these bits are not Made in USA, Drill Hog is unquestionably engaging in deceptive trade practices. The Drill Hog bits definitely look like quality bits, but the proof will be in the cutting. It's not worth the hassle of returning them.
