Drill bit hotness June 12, 2007, 08:45:19 PM You all knew I wouldn't sell that Volvo and not buy something stupid in celebration. You were right. I present you with my new 135-piece titanium drill bit set. It's got precision bits from .040-.225", standard bits from 1/16 to 1/2", and lettered bits from A-Z (for use with a tap set - the bits cross-reference to the size and thread pitch of the hole to be tapped). On top of all of that, though: It's pretty :hick: I guess I can now gather up all the cheap bits scattered throughout the garage and tool box and put 'em in a drawer as spares :DThe best thing was the price: 65% off. I paid $49.99 and they have a lifetime warranty (and best of all, with CTC if you break a bit they will replace it) Quote Selected

Yah!The Drill Doctor is nice, but when used on coated bits, the bit turns into its base metal - in this case, HSS. So, a lifetime warranty is nice! Quote Selected

There are no Harbour Freights in Canada - at least not in Atlantic Canada...Quote from: Red_LX;153932Eh, after using cobalt bits, I don't care for any others these days.Find me a 135-piece Cobalt set for $49.99 and we're in business :hick:Quote from: thunderjet302;153947Cool.

So, a lifetime warranty is nice!That's the best thing about buying tools from Canadian Tire - when they say "Lifetime warranty" they mean it. You can beat the snot out of their tools, and if they break it's no problem. They'd never say "Looks like you tried to use this screwdriver for a chisel" or "You put a six foot pipe on that breaker bar" - if it breaks, and it says "Mastercraft" on it, they replace it, simple as that and no questions asked.
