I love mine. I got the one that splits the tip. I sharpen them repeatly while I'm working. I've seen guys like my dad who could put a great tip on a bit.
I'm not one of those guys.

I get mine at Canadian Tire. Not much help to ya eh! LOL. Best drills I've found for drilling hard steel like stainless. Use slow speed and cutting fluid.

Cheers... Ben.

Maybe a nice dose of freon, then a sharp rap with a center punch? I'm thinking maybe it'll break or crack?
