    Neiko 10174A Quick Change Spiral Grooved Step Drill Bit | 10 Step Drill Bit Sizes in One - 1/4" to 1-3/8" | High-Speed Steel and Titanium Nitride Coating | Two-Flute Design …

    • Good quality steel with a sharp cutting edge.
    • it seemed to have lost its edge.
    • Much cheaper than the Dewalt ones I already have, but the cutting edge is straight instead of twisted like Dewalt
    • lose very fast edge
    • it works fine, good sharp edge
    • The edges on this step drill bit are not sharp, the tool is shaped like a step drill and has the appearance of a step drill but works about as well as a blink monkey striking a tin can with a jagged rock
    • I have retired this bit to be used only for rounding-over / cleaning-up edges after a shaper bit has been used to make the primary cut
    • Good to have some rubber grommets to cover sharp edges.
    • The edges are nice and sharp still and the coating seems fairly durable.
    • All the edges on the bit still feel as sharp as the ones I didn’t use
    • No bite, and lost edge very quickly
    • Much cheaper than the Dewalt ones I already have, but the cutting edge is straight instead of twisted like Dewalt
    • It's heavy, solid, the edges are sharp.
    • lose very fast edge
    • Only a few holes in sheet metal and some 3/16" thick aluminum but seem to hold it's cutting edge well
    • It cut the hole perfectly and FAST with absolutely clean edges
    • Very sharp cutting edge.
    • The chamfer between the steps not only helps start the next step size, it also provides a nicely beveled edge to the previous (smaller) hole size, cleaning up any burrs that may have resulted from the pilot hole
