  • Some perdy good posts so far !:)
    Up till a couple yrs ago, I just thought VA was made in the US, as they dint seem to be all that bad of quality. But at that time when I bought a 3/4" bit that wouldn't drill butter because it had been sharpened backwards, is when I read the print on the back. Sad part is, after returning it, I went to Oregon Tool and bought a hi quality USA for 2 bucks less.
    But, this is the first time I had this happen ! It started drilling fine, then all at once it just fell into a 90 deg, could not believe it !
    I doubt this is typical of VA, as I have used hundreds of these small bits. But it sure needs some better quality control for sure.
  • its designed soyou wont go through your siding from the inside its called a inside out zip bit as seen on tv
  • Put it in your electric drill and use for a paint mixer. Paint mixers are shaped exactly the same way! Hey, pretty smart them foreign manufacturers ... 2 for the price of one: Stage 1 it's a drill bit, Stage 2 it's a paint mixer. Actually that's pretty good technology there!
  • So what's the problem? Keep it in your tool box for the next time you need to drill something around the corner.
