Will have to buy a set of Erwin'sSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They are nice, I was amazed how the milwaukee runs them like butter, my dewalt (3 speed) struggles on high speed though with it, you have to run it on 1 or 2... the larger sizes that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice video jimbo thanks keep up the good work. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI'm just the opposite, have always used speedbor. Daredevil has advantages, it seems like they would be easier to sharpen with a file to finish the job, and extend their life, im always going thru wood that has hidden nails in it and have to sharpen them up again. With the Bosch, it's only two points to sharpen and looks like it would be easier to do as well having one less to get in the way when I sharpen itSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 If you want less sharpening, I'd recommend the way harder, Irwin groove power. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Irwin-10507764-Blue-Groove-Power/dp/B003KIWKS4/ref=pd_bxgy_60_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0QGNMVZ2MJ3KRR898B98 I have both bosch, blue groove and the little borther speedbore, and the groove powerEven goes through nails. But not screws! Damaged one of mine and tried sharpening with file. You could really feel the steel tips being a lot harder.The hardened part is indicated.

Andrull Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Im assuming that thats the Europe version of the speed bores? Dunno what you guys over seas got in your warehouses, but the two of them is not just similar versions. Becouse there is ton of difference on the silver ("power) ones, and the blue ones. (I have both)And here in europe, they sell them side by side. The silver, of course being the most expensive, and the blue being the cheap. The blue ones is just as quick, have 1/4" hex and might have a little bit less of tearout, but have a soft cutting edge, just as most other spade/wood bits. The silvery ones, with the grey tip are of much harder steel (or hardened a lot more). And uses a more powerfull 3/8" HEX shank (exception being the 14mm). But since it is made to not break down on nails, it doesn't have the "side-cutters" that cuts the back surface of the wood when exiting, making it have a little more tear-out. But all in all, it may save you some dollar in the long run, if you are drilling a lot of holes. But be carefull of screws, that gives them a real beating. GIven that they are hardened too. Not buttersoft like nails. Edit: I remember that my semi-cheap tin-coated spade bits died completly trying to cut through 1mm of alu... Was a bit surpriced.

Stercorarius Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've used them before and was pretty impressed with them. They are on the pricey side of things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I can't find those hardened speedbor max bits anywhere here in the states.

jeffmcmillan Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I would still take the daredevil bits over speedbor. I've seen ~15 piece sets of the daredevil bits at home depot for $10, but the best I can find for speedbor is six bits for $20 and you have to buy the other sizes individually. The speedbor bits are pushing the price of an auger bit but the performance isn't there. I've used the daredevil auger bits which are about the same price as speedbor and they can even take some screw hits not just nail hits. A much better deal imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much better deal imo.I agree the Bosch are way cheaper than speed bores, although I did chew threw some light gauge steel no problem by accident with the speed bore, if I was running all day, grab the Bosch, cheaper to replace, easier on the drill, if your drill is lower power it's hard to control the speed bores sometimes, especially harder words, the speed bores IMO are over priced, I got them as a gift, just crazy to pay 30 bucks for them and only getting 6JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
