I was fortunate to find a Craftsman 1/4 inch socket wrench on a two lane road outside Oakfield, NY. About five years later it crapped out. I took the wrench to a local Sears store and got a replacement for free.

I like the Dewalt DWA1784IR step bit. It's similar size to the one you have, but it has less "steps" allowing for more depth in each step.

one thing about step bits, even when they start getting dull they work great getting through plate steel. At least on a drill. I've worked at a place that wouldn't replace em till they were practically rounded over and you could still chew through car frames with em. Just had to wobble them through. If you aren't going through half inch plate they work forever.

Hey Doc, excellent content as usual. I highly recommend the TEMO M35 cobalt step bit. It’s 1/8”-1/2” with 13 steps. I’ve tried them all and these are the longest lasting. They’re $19 on Amazon

The Milwaukee shockwave step bits are top notch, they were hard to find, maybe they still are. You had to go to the big Home Depot or industrial supply tool house you try to stay away from, otherwise they would just have the regular shank straight flute Milwaukee unitbits. Fun thing if you're using them on plastic or other soft item those flutes will self feed. Quick oh shit lesson.

You can get from McMaster-Carr quality SAE 13 piece tool steel or cobalt steel drill bit sets that are in a one layer steel cases and are not much bigger then your wallet. I’m a huge fan of the octagon(?) shaped 29 piece drill bit case you can load with your own drill bits, search - - - Viking Plastic Drill Bit Index Case (Empty). I like it because it’s very space efficient, won’t pop open if dropped, and a lot more water resistant then any other drill bit case. Most of the time a 29 piece drill bit set will cover almost all of your needs up to 1/2”. The only down side is the numbers on the top of the case that tell you what size drill bit is in that hole are hard to read.

So if you use a deep well socket like this in a confined area where the bolt or nut is deep down in , where the socket only fits into and you use a power tool it will leave marks on it like this.

At work, we only have metal bits and have had no issues drilling into wood. As far as step bits, I haven't tried the Milwaukee yet, but I have had A LOT of success with the Hansen Irwin step bits. Drills through metal like butter. I have the same large Klein bit and I have not been very impressed with it. It does it's job, but it's not that sharp.

My milwaukee bit like got a really dull tip really fast. I used the dewalt for years and it was good. The milwaukee tip only a few uses dulled it bad enough no amount of pressure could get t started in sheetmetal. I honestly don't think I hit concrete with it or anything to make it that dull that quick. Very disappointing. Hopefully your luck is better Doc!

looks like that found socket was spinning from vibration on something for quite some time. I dropped a 8mm deep while working on my car around the intake manifold area years back but it never hit the ground and never found it. a few years later when I was disassembling good parts from the car to scrap the rest of it, tipped the car sideways with the forks on a skid steer and surprisingly the socket finally fell out on the ground from the engine Bay Area with nearly identical witness marks on it.

I have liked Montana brand drills. Some of their Phillips don't fit as well but I like them. I like step bits the best in an impact driver. They work well that way if they have the shank for it.

Another important difference between the Titan and the Milwaukee/DeWalt step bits, apart from the price. The latest have a helicoidal (also called helical) cutter shape, as shown at 5:45. More efficient than the straight cutter of the Titan, clearly visible at 5:51.

Milwaukee offers 3 step bits in this size category and only this model offers the 1/4” shank and the impact ready badge. Also this model uses the hardest drill bit coating Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAIN). The other two offered a black oxide coating which was the cheapest @ $25 or the most expensive was the cobalt steel step bit which offered a softer (TiN) coating and was the priciest @ $53. It gets confusing on the big orange store because they don’t always give all of the facts needed. Drill bits used should be considered by what you are drilling so you can eliminate what steel you will need for your bits and what coating might help with temperature degradation so the bit won’t burnout prematurely. I’m a big red fan to begin with so I’d stay with the bit you’ve picked until someone can steer you towards something that might fit better for your man power only drill hole reamer.

Yes, but the spiral shaped ones are much more difficult to sharpen, probably not worth the effort. For the ones that have a straight channel down the length, you would grind at the corner of the channel with a diamond grit stone or flap disc, to re-shape the cutting edge
