AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers praise the bit’s fast cutting and longevity in mild steel and sheet metal, noting clean starts with minimal walking. Many like the 1/4 in. hex shank for quick swaps in impact drivers. Some report noticeably better life than black oxide, though heavy stainless use can dull it faster than cobalt. Occasional feedback mentions titanium coating wearing off under aggressive heat and that the bit may bind if not cleared frequently. Representative quotes: “Cuts through angle iron like butter,” “Great in my impact—no slipping,” and “Worked on stainless but slowed down after a few holes—use oil and low speed.”
