    • Car frames are by no means hardened steel, the bit (or a good bit) should have went through them like butter
    • drilled thru steel like butter - impressive
    • Had problems drilling through stainless steel
    • Didn't make it 1/16th inch in to soft A36 steel with a pilot hole drilled in it despite three attempts at resharpening
