Best Drill Bit Set? Hilti vs Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch, Bauer, Lenox, Irwin

12 Drill Bit Brands: Bauer, Lenox (self-feed), Bosch (auger), Irwin, Hilti, Bosch (nail strike), Milwaukee, Diablo, DeWalt, Comoware. Bits tested for speed drilling through soft and hard material and quality of hole. After bits drilled 100 holes, drill bits tested again for speed. Finally, drill bits tested for durability after striking a nail. My goal is to always provide accurate and honest test results by avoiding outside pressure from manufacturers. To do this, I always buy all of the products that I test along with the test equipment and supplies used for the testing. So, thank you very much for helping me achieve this goal by your support of the channel.

The actual fact that you drilled almost 1300 holes just to put out a free to watch video for us to save us money is just a testament to how good of a man you are. Thank you for the continued effort to help people out. It's greatly appreciated.

[electronicsNmore]

I wasn't one "bit" surprised that in order to provide reliable wear tests you drilled over 1200 holes...WOW! Great video as always.

I've been a carpenter for almost 40 years, now, and I'd just like to thank you for your work. Cutting through the manufacturers' claims, the questionable reviews, and the general BS is a real service to those who rely on their tools to make a living. Big respect to you!

I was an electrician in the commercial and industrial field for 40 years. During that time hacksaw blades and sawzall blades and holesaw‘s, Lennox always performed the best for me. Recently though doing a lot of little projects around the house I’m extremely impressed with everything Diablo.

[dougrobinson]

I've never been left less than impressed with any Diablo blade or bit. They're a great value for the average user.

[chieftain]

From what I keep seeing, Diablo seems to have figured out how to perform really well in most all it's cutting tools without having that extreme price premium. I like Diablo myself, and I'll probably keep buying more Diablo stuff just because of branding, and their performance/price range.

The first Project Farm video of 2022! I wonder what torture tests Todd will devise this year😁 Thanks Todd for the vid😊👍

[john]

As a new plumber, your videos are a great help when selecting tools. Thanks a ton man

[lesleyghostdragon]

The first time I tried an Irwin Speedbor, it was like the heavens opened, bright light shone down, angel choirs sang...I was so mesmerized (and relieved after struggling with other bits!) by how fast the Speedbor effortlessly pulled itself into the landscaping tie that I didn't stop the drill fast enough and plunged right through the tie into the gravel an inch below. Thank goodness it didn't phase the bit one bit!
Caution: "With great power..."

Imagine drilling over 1000 holes for a 15 minute video. Blows my mind
You are very dedicated to the accuracy of your tests, I salute your diligence :)

Project farm... The most informative entertaining YouTube channel made in the USA.

We're gonna test that

[kappasugi]

I've discovered your channel since a couple months ago, and the amount of work you put in each video and testing each product to the limit is such a demanding and time consuming job, I've literally bought tools/accessories based off on your videos.

Great video again as always! I and everyone else watching no doubt appreciates every bit of effort you put into making these videos.

I was wondering if there will ever be a hard hat comparison video in the future.

Project Farm reading packaging: “We’re gonna test that.”

Manufacturers: *GULP* 😰

This is one of those "but what are you using it for?" tests. Spade and Auger bits have their place in construction but when making cabinets I'm always grabbing for forstner bits for a clean hole for furniture or without a long center point to still be useful for hinge bores for cabinets. With those bits, it's always "How much tear out do I get in hardwood and ply?" and "How long will they stay sharp?" Be an interesting follow on test to this.

[Snookchaser]

When using an auger type bit on telephone poles or piles I found it is very important to get one with a single cutting edge. This leaves the widest channel for the cut material to be removed. It only took a few times getting a double edged bit stuck in a pole/pile to figure this out. It is also easy to field sharpen a single edge.

[regnartseht]

I really like the Irwin speedbore. They seem to work best with an impact driver. Very fast in softwoods.
I like Bosch for spade bits, but I also have some cheap ones to sacrifice to dirty screw infested wood.
I like how your tests usually match up with my real world experience. Keep up the good work.

[onecrazywheel]

I am an electrician. I have owned a set of Irwin Augers for years and they are terrific at drilling wood. Especially older wood in houses. They don't do so well with nails but then for that I use the 18 inch Greenlee auger bits. Those work incredible for drill holes in studs in houses.

[OGSontar]

You continue to astound! All that work and effort, not to mention the parts we don't see (setup, material acquisition, tracking and compiling the charting, etc. - your persistence and sheer dedication to reaching a conclusion could sure teach the major testing labs a few things about how to do it right.
Thank you so much for all your effort. Not only do you identify the good, the bad, and the ugly (sorry, Clint) but you make the presentation fun as well. Bravo, sir, bravo!

[dandexinventor]

Real good stuff PF! I have tried many of these as a cabinetmaker over the years and ended up keeping with the DeWalt for the last 5-6 years as they cut cleaner holes. Their rounded corner design surprised me nicely.
You have me wanting to try the Bosch Nail Strike for knots as I like knotty wood projects maybe even more than clear wood projects.
I stay away from self-feed bits as they tend to tear-out on the exit and they don't work on hardwoods nearly as good as softer wood.

Thanks again PF
