I Tested The WORST Drill Bits Ever Made!

My equipment

[TylerTube]

guys, i used an impact because thats what they use in their demos, they also claim you have to use an impact because drills "dont spin fast enough"

[FREQ]

I used to be a CNC mill operator, and the second you said they claim these bits will never go dull or whatever, the first thing i thought was "oh, these are gonna be dogshit bits" lol

[alphazero]

After looking at the bad dog tools video of him drilling into tile, I'm pretty sure their demonstration tile was basically plaster with a glossy layer on top. He went through that thing like butter which no drill bit could ever do.

[TooSketchyForYou]

Tyler needs to start trying to send stuff he breaks in to a warranty claim. I’d love to see how the manufacturers respond

[Sianmax_]

I don’t know anything about tools. I don’t own any tools and probably never will BUT I come and watch every single one of Tyler’s video and love them.

Only Tyler can have me laugh and be fully engaged in a video about tool bits.

[Vanilla_Neko]

The reason they never skip around in those videos is because they usually pre-drill holes that are just a size smaller than the drill bit they are demonstrating this allows them to make it appear as if they are quickly pushing it through but there is still some resistance so it's not clearly just a hole

[blackbearelectronicswithco]

You should've compared the bad drill bits to some normal wood, masonry, and metal drill bits

[arinsmulders]

i was high enough to try blowing the dust away after you finally got through that cinder block and there was dust there hahahaha

[Stormclowe]

Any time Tyler gets out power tools, I can't help but watch... like passing a major automobile accident, on the interstate - you just can't look away, no matter how mortifying it is.

[iPsychlops]

Honestly I love that Tyler is using the tools the way a person who isn't an expert would use them. This is how the average person is going to use them. Would I love to see how they work with cutting fluid? Of course. But this was still educational. I'm glad he's wearing safety goggles. I hope he starts wearing a respirator.

[connorj]

As a construction moron I can say a few things. Those materials require different tips to properly drill a hole. You have metal, masonry, glass, and tile. (Sometimes glass and tile you can get away with interchanging) All different types of bits.


Also these are just a piece of junk.

[TylerSnyder]

I've looked them up and the bits really seem to be a mixed bag.
From what I have seen they're great when you get good ones, but they're terrible when you get bad ones which apparently happens a lot and they're still not exactly good for everything they claim.
I've also heard many complaints about the warranty process, that you have to send in the broken bits on your own dime both ways, and that turnaround times are slow.

From everything I've read / seen it seems like they kind of wrote a big check that's financially difficult to cash, they offered a lifetime warranty on a consumable product and they're stuck with it because they wouldn't sell without one.

Who in the hell would give you a lifetime warranty on drill bits?
That's like offering a lifetime warranty on hacksaw blades or tires, they're consumables and having a warranty on them is unheard of.

[ericchill]

Now you should try to get the bits warrantied and let us know what type of fiasco it turns into

[PhoenixStrykers]

The real star of this "episode" is the Pill Bug(Rolly Polly) on the cinder block. XD

[ccoder]

Brake rotors are usually made from cast iron. Cast iron is quite soft and even self lubricating due to carbon nodules. And yes, actually harder than mild steel. That diamond cut off wheel worked fine, but it's not really any better than the ones you can get for $20 at your local Home Depot. And porcelain tile is quite hard. You generally need diamond drill bits (I usually use the Chinese core bits - cheap but they only last maybe a half dozen holes at best) for that and you have to keep them cool. The carbide tips on those drill bits didn't stand a chance.

[jamessciutto]

In the commercials they use props made of soft metals like aluminum. Using aluminum allows them to keep the look of cutting into steel, but show the speed of cutting the aluminum.
The carbide tips on these will separate and shatter if used too long in hardened steel due to heat fracturing.
Put really simple, these are just real cheap concrete bits made out of soft steel.
Buy cheap, find ways to make the product look like something beyond our time and sell high, the biggest moneymaker in the industry.

Great vid as always Tyler, keep it up and stay out of trouble.

[DOBBAPHOENIX]

17:38 That is one BRAVE bug! :P

17:45 R.I.P. Fred. you lived a good life!

[SoCalJellybean]

You suppose his neighbors are always just like, “oh… Tyler’s at it again…” 🤣

[terrymar]

That bug was just chillin and you killed it.
