Step drills at Harbor Freight for $10

[zarathustra]

Just wanted to let people know that these are back at $9.99 again. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91616

Great deal.

    I just came back from my local Harbor Freight, and they had them for 29.99 . When I told the cashier that their website had them listed for 9.99, she told me that I'd have to print out the page, and then bring it to the store. (I don't have a printer, so I'm out of luck.)
    When I asked if she had a way to go to their website, she just looked annoyed, and told me NO.
So, you may want to print the page out before you go, just to be on the safe side.

This time I made it .  Even with 6.99 shipping, it is still a good deal.

I didn't even know we had one in town, as it turns out about 2 miles from my work!

Printed out the web ad and the cashier honored it.

Thanks for the heads-up zarathustra!

We have had no luck with any of the cheap step drills, only use the expensive IRWIN unibit now, they last more than long enough to be worth it. We do drill hundreds of boxes a month though...

They are good for drilling a few boxes but IMHO way overpriced. I've seen them for app. 2$ on the flee markets around my home.

If you want to drill more boxes without trouble you need to invest in quite expensive titanium coated drills and tools made of HSS-steel.
At least the step drill is it worth, it can be resharpened and recoated 2-3 times when it's got blunt at a tool service for a relative small price.

Well I started panicking until I saw you message, I paid mine 34 EUR in a specialty shop. One bit.

Checked prices for IRWIN and found not 3 for $10 but still 3 for $30 at amazon even
