Supposed to work on just about anything except metal. Might work on thin or really soft metal. Don't know, never tried.

Wishful Thinking is a good 'name' for it. Precision, forget it!

Never did say it was a precision tool. A precision tool would work all the time not kinda sometimes.

I was 'adding' information(opinion), not questioning 'yours'!

Looks more like a concrete bit to me.

Did you ever wake up thinking that it was a work day then come to realize that it was the weekend? Well, today was one of those days for me. It's happened probably 3-4 times in my life. Thought it was a workday. Got up at 4:30, put coffee on, sat down to watch the news, and noticed the newscaster weren't the regulars. Lower portion of the screen shows day / time info. It said Saturday. Yee-haa!!!! I love it when that happens.

Work day... Work day... Work day... That kind of rings a bell but it just doesn't happen here any more.

My wife and I have been retired for 4 years, but because of our horses we are up every day at 6:30 and work 7 days a week. What were we thinking

I own a very similar one sold by Sears a few years back. After my garage was robbed I needed to replace some nix bits ( self centering bits used to install hinges and such). They were priced about $13 apiece or I could buy the set which contained 4 (I don't see any in your set) plus all the other stuff for $80. I now have way more driver bits (slotted, phillips, torx, square and etc) than I will ever need. Besides what I had they must have given me 20 of each in my kit. There was so many drills, driver, and othe pieces I was forced to keep the big plastic case they came in, it is a real storage nightmare.
