NewWhile we're at it here...
One of the best tools I've bought / owned has been a set of Walter drill bits.
I've been a mechanic for 30+ years...
And spent too much of that time cursing drill bits...
Until me & my friend were installing new bumpers on my Jeep...
And those sweet Walter drill bits worked so fine!!
I went right out & bought a set... 3/8 reduced shank, size small to 1/2".
135 deg, split point, Hex drive! And haven't bought bits for maybe 5 years now...
Night & day from jobber bits...
I know that not very many of us need that kind of drill power on our rc cars...
But since you may use the bits on other things, I just want to share the word!
When I bought my set, the guy says "are you sure, they're expensive..."
I was worried, because my buddy is one of those Snap-On or nothing Dudes...
Then the guy says, yup, $64 bucks...
Hah, I would have paid double, or even triple once I saw how well they worked!
Use the right speed, and correct lube for what you're drilling, don't press too hard,
& those $64 dollar bits will save you much aggravation & down time & money!!
No, I don't work for Walter...
And this turned out way longer than necessary, sorry!
Yes, some others may have other opinions...
But in my experience, these quality bits have been a godsend!
And I only suggest them to share something good with my fellow
Wrench pullers, & RC enthusiasts!
I just had to get my Harley towed home...
That bugs me more than working on my OutCast!
Happy Canada Day all y'all!!
