Testing some M35 COBALT drill bits from Banggood... Excellent, High quality product...!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- In this video, I'll be testing some M35 Cobalt drill bits I ordered from Banggood an Asian Trade company in the same fashion as Amazon or Aliexpress. I'm testing the drill bits to their limits against more popular and cheaper drills. The prices for those drill bits is really good and the overall quality of the product is surprisingly good no regard to the price.
I will test the Banggood drills against some popular products available in Canada ( Canadian Tire ) and in the USA ( Harbor Freight ), to my surprise the Banggood M35 Cobalt drill bits will perform very good in increasingly harder test materials up to at least 47 Rockwell on the C scale.
Those drill bits would make an excellent everyday set that will drill into just about everything and last a long time. Just make a note that their 135 degrees grind make them perform better in harder materials, if you need to cut mostly in softer alloys or aluminum you could regrind the tips at 118 deg.
My opinion of those drill bits is that it will perform very nicely with everyday operations in hard alloys steels and can easily be reground if needed.

right now on sale for 10$ =)
Sometimes it even gets better when they make special sales or promotions, so far I've used those inserts quite a lot even i pretty hard material and the results are very good...
Thanks for your input, Pierre
Pierre's Garage i
Looks like they changed the supplier. They are TIN coated now and 11 bucks. Wonder if quality still good.
I received a mixed set. Some marked as HSS not HSS Co.
The best reviews! Thank you so much for your time and effort!
Hi Randy, glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, Pierre
Very well organised, loved this review, thanks Pierre!
Thanks Adam, cheers, Pierre
Very good video Pierre,and quite surprising too!
Very good trial/experiment. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to say a few good words... Pierre
another very useful test video. Thank you.
Hey, thanks for taking time to post a comment, Pierre
I bought some of these drills after watching your review and you were right. They are excellent drill bits.
Hi John,
I'm glad you took the time to give me some feedback on your purchase, it's always nice to have testimony from other users...
Thanks for viewing an taking time time to comment, Pierre
Great review Sir. Thank you for sharing your findings.
All my best.
Bobby
By being picky on Banggood, there are good purchases to be done, when I'm getting one it a pleasure to share so viewers can also save on good stuff... ;)
Thanks, Pierre
Thank you for this useful information.
You're welcome
High quality video, thank you !
Thanks for your comment.... 🌈👍
Nice test. Thanks Pierre.
Those drills actually surprised me... ;)
nice, this kind of review that i need, very useful information, thanks man
btw they have M42 version, have you try that?
Hi and thanks for your comment, Not tried the M42 type yet, mostly cause that when it gets this hard I use solid carbide drill bits... 🙂👍
Excellent comparison.
_Dan_
Hi, I also think that it shows the different boundaries of the diffrent types of steel alloys and also their different qualities. As the cheaper ones will do all you need in regular softer alloys for a budget price...
Thanks for your comment, Pierre
Hi Pierre, once again, I have ordered the product. Good onya
Nice, I'm sure you'll get good service from those as I've tested here, if anything just let me know... ;)
@6:15 "Right direction this time" Wow, you're a fast learner, I could learn a lot from you!
Ya I know, the lower speed range and the higher speed range are reversed, so, since I'm working more often on the higher range it's the button I reach for first... ;)
Super video Pierre je suis surpris par la qualité des mèches ct j'ai toujours cru qu'elle était de qualité moyenne a pauvre. Bien heureux de voir un compatriote faire des videos de ce genre. Ont en veu d'autre.
Si on cherche un peu, il y a moyen de trouver de très bons outils à bon prix fabriqués en Asie, il faut tout de même être sélectif...
J'ai pas mal de matériel intéressant à passer en revue, mais il y a le manque de temps, produire ces vidéos en plus des autre tâches demande pas mal de concentration...
Vraiment merci pour les bons mots et d'encourager la chaîne, Pierre
Excellent video. I have been using these HSS-E drills for years, initially because they came with a split point but I found them very long lasting and well worth the premium. They do still chip from time to time, but stay sharper longer in glass reinforced materials and less wear on the diameter also. Came in handy recently when I had to put a pin hole though a socket extension, no way with the HSS but the HSS-E made it through fine with a couple re-grinds. That extension was way harder near the forged end than in the center, where I had tested drilling it.
The Chinese sets make a good refill for drill indexes, I bought a bunch at Aliexpress at their anniversary with the discount. Sometimes they try to pass off inferior drills as M35, with partial TIN coating and a silver shaft.
I generally avoid "titanium nitride" coated drills like the plague. I know there are high end ones out there that work, but gold colour can not make up for the poor material they use in cheap ones.
The worst drills I ever had was ones that came with a cheap cordless drill set. They unwound and wound back up the other way like a left hand drill the moment it touched the workpiece! You could tell something was not right with them, they looked much too bright, a bit like aluminum colour, and were very light weight by comparison (but magnetic so some iron in them maybe).
Those are actually surprisingly good, they keep their grind still usable even after being pressed againgt something too hard for them... ;)
The Harbor Freight are really the cheapest stuff just one step above what you mentionned about the twisting drills, poor grind, very average material and irregular grind, at about $15USD a set what can you expect, on the other side the Canadian Tire set is in the good everage and usable set, this is what I use lots of times on softer material, I normally regrind them at 118 to allow better entry in softer material.
Thanks for your comment, Pierre
The 118 degree might also help reinforce the outer edges against chipping. I seems like they always chip a good way back so I have to grind away several millimeters. The softer HSS just kinda rounds over and is easier to touch up. Not sure if the M35 material is more brittle or it is just the angle making a weak corner.
At work it is not really worth my time to grind them so I get plenty dull ones to practice my drill grinding at home.
Great comparison Pierre, thanks. There seems little doubt the Bangood drill's alloy description is quite accurate, and toughness pretty good. Nice to know and certainly seems well worth getting.
H Chris,
Some of the products are real great purchases, can't say about all I haven't tested yet, though... Guess that some care must be taken into choosing and evaluating seriously. Those drills are a good add on to the tool chest... ;)
Thanks for sharing i love banggood
Banggood is a neat place to shop, there is a little bit of everything, you still need to test the quality of the products in order to end up with products that are well worth the price, if us consumers only demand the better goods, then, the sellers will be forced to improve the quality of their orrefings... ;)
Thanks for the useful test my good man! Too many tests are tilted from the "tester" being employed by or given product from the manufacturer being tested! This test looked like one I may have done myself! and I will be purchasing products as the results of your test make sense to me! Have fun man! G>
Depending of the product, some are given to me, some other product I'll pay for. One important thing that counts for me, if the product is something I'd use, I'm ok making a review and evaluate, there is always the price/quality ratio to be considered, this is something that has to be mentioned. I don't bother order or ask for a product that doesn't look promising, I got no time to lose making videos about lame products just to say it's a bad product, those videos are quite time consuming... (It may take me from 2 to 4 full days to make one single video...)
Thanks for viewing and taking a moment to leave a nice comment... ATB, Pierre
They look like pretty good drill bits. I may look into those when I need replacements.
Those are actually great drill bits, I havent used them in Stainless but they also do great there, one word of caution about using them in aluminum, the 135deg. grind isn't the best for soft metals, though, you can use cheaper bits for softer stuff anyway...
I've been meaning to get a set of Metric drill bits. Guess I know a good place to find some now. Thanks for testing these and telling us about it.
Doesn't matter if it's metric or imperial it does excellent in harder material, since a drill doesn't make a very accurate hole it's easy to convert from a system to another and being very close... ;)
Haha, nevermind. I see now that Brian has weighed in below.
The kinda sharpener that dims the lights in the whole area around his house... lol
What we could call the utmost in droll sharpening... !!!
nice comparsion testing.
Hi Randy, thanks, I hope everything is going fine for you...
good video pierre. thanks for turning me on to the banggood products . i have never trusted import cutting tools. banggood products seem to be an exception. it would have been interesting to seen how they compared to a high quality drill like morse.i hope you continue to test products like these.
Hi Larry, as of any place to shop, we, as consumer have to discriminate among the products the ones that are worth purchassing. This is why I like serious reviwes from different producers, it provides at least the basic information on the products and a more objective view than just the add from the seller... ;)
Now you have to make out the better reviewers... lol
As I find good products I'll make other reviews in order to share my findings... Thanks for comment, Pierre
Great test. I just bought a set, They are on sale at the moment. Only 7,75 Euro.I might actually buy another set after watching this test. Replace the crappy content in both my drill indexes.
I'm pretty sure you'll like those, for the price it's a good purchase...
Thanks for comment, Pierre
hello pierre interesting video. I was wondering can these banggood cobalts drill through a piece of HSS stock ? I do not understand "rockwell" terminologies too well. sorry if my question was silly
You're not going to make a hole in HSS with just about anything, HSS steel is around 65 RC, this is as hard if not harder than the drill bits. Also HSS with Cobalt will stay hardened even if heated hot enough to braze it... Very difficult to anneal...
Rockwell is a way to measure hardness, it uses an indenter to poke a divit in the material to test, the result is obtained by measuring the size of the divit... Bigger indent = softer material, smaller indent = harder material.
The scales, like A, B, C, are for different hardness, A for softer materials, B for medium soft ( Cold rolled or so ), and, C scale for harder materials ( graded hardware, tools room set up blocks, rails on a hardened bed on a lathe, etc )
If you do a search on my channel you'll see a video where I demonstrate how a conventionnal Rockwell tester works.
Thnaks for viewing and for comment, Pierre
@@pierresgarage2687 thanks for clarification concerning Rockwell. I just want to modify an HSS tool. that's why I asked. and No, not in the sense of sharpening it with a grinding wheel but to drill a hole in it where I can tap it and hold it with a screw/bolt.
The tool I'm trying to build here is an "adjustable length hole saw" by bolting 2 HSS stock (cutters) to a "T" joint so that they don't slip when I run it in the chuck on the drill press.
Hi Pierre, been using HSSCo drills for many years now, love them, super in stainless
You're also rigt about Stainless they last a long way without regrinding, and give a efficient cut no much strain and jamming... ;)
Interesting video. 55 HRC is indeed extremely hard. I've tried a few sets of M35 and M42 drills from China. They cut OK and have reasonable durability for the price. My issue is they aren't terribly straight.
Thanks for taking a moment to share your experiences on the subject.
All depends what type of work is being done, if you require a finished hole with very close tolerances right from the drill bit, then, you will need to be much more fussy about the initial qality and pay quite more money to get high quality tooling. On the other end, if you need general purpose bits to do general fabrication and mostly require endurance, those less precise bits will do great. The price is an important criteria for people that don't dispose of an infinite budget for tooling that only needs to perform general or no precision tasks, those can even be used for a pre-driling op that needs to be finished by a second process.
This is where an experienced machiniste will be able to diferenciate between the proper tooling a job requires.
All this to say that 95% or so of the people using drill bits will get by with a good and durable even though it's not as precise as costly tooling... For them it would be a waste of money to get $$$$ tooling that sits on a shelf most of the time or is used to drill into rusted old recycled pieces of scrap metal...
ATB, Pierre
A little bit of comparing apples and pears here but not too much. I would always expect the cobalt to outlast or outperform the HSS, even if they are TiN coated to keep stuff from welding to them which they won't anyway with proper lube. Often the coating is added just to attract customers.
The last set I got from Horror Fright half of them had a reverse grind as if they were left hand drills. They didn't really work too good even as left handers what with the negative rake and all. Once they went through the drill grinder and received a 3 angle grind they turned out to be really good drills. A 3 angle grind is a regular grind with a split point or web thin and a 90° cut at the corner to strengthen the corner and provide a near reamer like finish. Holes are not as round as a reamer and chips can sometimes be a problem in stringy material or with insufficient lube. Unfortunately few grinders can do them.
Agree with you that the HF set has a less than acceptable grind on most of the drills in the set, this is kinda of unacceptable as most people will use the drills right out of the box, and, most people can't shapen anyhthing properly...
Here the Canadian Tire set is not the top quality brand but it does lots of my regular drilling work in many materials including Stainless steel. With the proper grig they're acceptable.... ;)
A good HSS drill bit with a proper grind will perform adequatly in most of the work that people will undergo, the cobalt drill bits are a step higher in oder to make holes in special or much harder materials, also, their performance will outlast other type of steel alloys drill bits....
The higher price tag is worth when you use them more than average people and when you work in harder alloys.
Thanks for your input, Pierre
I drill rc 46/48 1075 spring steel 1/4" thick (flat) with #29 (.136") 135 degree split point standard cobalt drill bits. When I get the job, I drill around 100 holes. Each spring gets 2 holes, and I use a new drill on each spring. I use slow speed and anything similar to wd40 brushed on, maintaining wet puddle. Works great. The drill bits do drill more than 2 holes, eventually making that chattering noise, then will break off. But, 2 holes works for me in this case, no issues.
The hardness is one of the factor of influence, the aloy materials also determine the wear on a tool, add ons like tTungsten is a tough one on the tooling...
I'll have to see about using WD-40, so far soluble coolant is also a great lubricant/coolant combination, and stinks less than WD-40, I tend to use some regular cutting oil in order not to make the lathe or milling having to deal with either rust or gunky coolant slag...
nice video
Hey, thanks... ;)
Nice test, bought a bunch to match my metric taps. I was going to continue buying Dormer since I have 1 to 16 in 0.5 steps but the Dormers are €10 each... 😲
Hi, this small set is a real good purchase, I'm still happy with them, a while ago I got this set ( banggood.app.link/6Of5u2SrgR ) they're supposerd to be the same as the 15 pieces set, they sure look the same, but I didn't have the time to make test with them, if it's the same as they pretend, tha would be a good deal...
So far products from Drilpro perform quite well for a decent price...
Hoping to have more time to be able to perform some more testing of products that seem like a good purchase for the $$$...
Thanks for your feedback and let me know how you're satisfied with the product.... ;)
Cheers, Pierre
Was trying to drill Inconel and blunted a few drills...hope the Banggood cobalts will do the job...
Inconel is a tough material, those drill bit should do it, in any case I'd like you to let me know how it went...
No lube oil and no respect for the HF dill bit on the first circular saw blade! HF drill bits have never failed me, but then I don't normally push them through hardened materials, I used my better bits for that. - Great Demo. Shows that the cobalt doped bits are somewhat better.
Hummm...!!! I haven't watched again the video, but, I'm quite sure there was a drop of cuttin oil on the blabes... Cobalt bits are one step above plain HSS bits, if you don't work tough allows HSS is quite enough, the HF bits are doing a good job for a quite low price as well as our Canadian Tire for us Canadians, those CT bits are my all to go bits for softer materials.
Bottom line, to get some good use in tought materials, Cobalt HSS bits are a must, though... ;)
Thanks for your comment, Pierre
Hey thanks for the video. I was going to buy the Does it all drill bits" which are cobalt, titanium and tungsten carbide, but I saw a you tube clip where they did not preform as shown on tv. Infact a regular drill bit out performed them. I need to drill through some very hard metal. The 1/2" drive of the Makita DWT1002 impact wrench, because I need a hole in it to put the socket pins through. Its VERY hard metal, probably as hard as the 55. Is there a drill bit that can do this. Thank you
Hi, if you need to drill in 55 RC material you may need to get carbide tooling, this is real hard for even the best HSS with Cobalt, you'll run the risk of destroying the Cobalt bits, as with carbide, make sure you're having a stable set-up or you may experience some breakage...
Thanks for watching and for your comment, Pierre
i got a 230 pack of HSS titanium nitride bits from Canadian tire for $20 mixed sizes 1/32'' too 1/2''. the 1/8'' bits at a low speed go right thru hard 12gage hot roll sheet, the metal comes off in chips not twisted strands. adding oil doesn't seem to make a difference at the low speed i was going... 100-150rpm. but $20 for 230! few years ago i seen they were 2-4 bucks a piece.
Got a set of those also from Canadian Tire, the 1/16 to 1/2" index, never even tried, it's been in my drawer for at least over 15 years... That should do an interesting comparative item... ( Got a few more indexes in the same condition, this is called the " On special at Canadian Tire Syndrome " it also goes for many other items like screwdrivers sets, pliers sets, etc...
It's been a while since I purchased stuff at Canadian Tire on special..... Sincerely hope I'm cured for good, at least one addiction less to worry about.. lol
My set of drill bits to do most of ops is a set of those CT with the Titanium oxide you just seen in the video, with the proper grond and care those are quite surprising...
Guess that if you get items from CT, you're located somewhere in Canada...?
Thanks for your comment, Pierre
Hard to tell but are these thick or thin web drills? If thin perhaps they would be a good candidate for resharpening on my fancy drill doctor. :-)
Hi Brian, those seem to have the thin web and have just about the same helix and shape as the HF or CT drills, your fancy Drill Doctor would surely do the job, I haven't tried tet on my DD yet, something I'll have to do soon...
Do you have any tips on drill tip geometry for hand grinding thick web drills? It's very limiting in terms of tip geometry and relief angle.
Very good information thanks . I just made a video review on the 25 piece set from banggood. Very good drills .
Right about the quality, surprising for the price... Got that 25 pieces in here, no official ted done yet, but seems the same material and quality, the grinds are quite good and accurate but a few don't have the split point ground into them...?? All in all it's an excellent purchase.
Seen your video, was impressed to see that the 13mm was drilling quite exact...!!!
For SS there is a sweet spot to achieve in order to make the drilling easier, normally it's slower and a little more pressure than other types of steel, you get to make a decent thickness chip that will pull away the most of the heat on it's way out.
Nice and interesting work on your channel...!!! ;)
@@pierresgarage2687 yes i did think i was taking it to fast though the ss thanks for your help.
Hi Pierre, ordered up a set of these and drill taps with hex Drive ends. The cobalt drills came in circa £10:00 in the U.K. Delivered. I let you know my thoughts. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Hi joe, it's always nice to get feedback from other people using the products and share different points of view and usages... Thanks for your input, Pierre
does the banggood M35 drill bits has Co5 markings on them ?? normally for 5% Cobalt should have Co5 marking , I tried asking the manufacturer but they refuse to reply to my simple request !! I can only see HSS markings !! kindly clarify the markings, thanks in advance
I've just checked on the set I demonstrated, the writing on mines is " HSSco ", it's on the shank near the size info...
@@pierresgarage2687 thank you sir !! appreciate it a lot !!
How about M42 drill bits? Would it get through your 55 RC material?
I'm not sure, haven't tried M42 drill bits, for material that hard I normally use some solid carbide drill bits, you make sure you get a solid set-up in order to use solid carbide tooling or it will break easy...
@@pierresgarage2687 Yea carbide by itself is very brittle so it can break easily if everything isn't done correctly. I've used M42 drill bits to drill out spot welds because HSS wasn't cutting it and would dull very quickly. The M42 lasts several times longer.
Are these too brittle for use in a drill driver? Thanks for the review!
Do you mean to say, use in a normal hand drill...??? If so it's quite like any other good quality Cobalt drill bits... Very usable.
Pierre's Garage Yeah that's what I meant, thanks!
Would it have made a difference had you used the power feed?
Power feed won't make it if it doesn't go with lots of pressure manually, just snap your tool if there is...
When I decided to stop it was really cause it wasn't gonna go anymore... ;)
certainly cobalt drills make a difference, i had to dril la hole through pipe wrench handle (to hang it up), a normal hss was justing burning itself, i sharpened it 3 times, got nowhere, barely scratching the surface, tried a cobalt-hss, went through it like it was mild steel, no drama
Since you got numerous qualities of drill bits from really soft carbon type to cobalt HSS in steel and then the carbide ones, you want to get what will perform in your usual type of usage, as the price goes up rapidly when you increase in quality...
For the price of those you get excellent quality near the price of cheaper and less perfoemant tools from other retailers... ;)
hmmm you know i have a drill fetish.
Nice comparison
Yahhh...!!! Color doesn't make the quality, beware of marketting agents... ;) They only sell the drills, they don't use them... lol
Yes. The TiN coating on some of those cheap drills must be in the few millionths thick range, because it rubs right off, leaving the cheap base metal to fight the losing battle... TiN looks pretty, on some of the imports that have it it is almost transparent. Flash plating...
Nice comparison - totally worth it's weight in TiN :P Dunno why folks get lured into coated drills of any brand. Maybe they were made for abrasive minerals in wood but only good for a few holes in steel. I've been using a cobalt set from HF for a few years and they seem about the same as the BG set. The bad part is that with any importer or chain brand you never know when they will change suppliers for the better or worse.
Off hand, have you hardness tested any bed frame rails? I have a bunch and it would be cool to know a ballpark range to tell me if I can keep sharpen my drills or donate a kidney for some carbide drills.
Right about the big National stores changing suppliers, most of the times to get a better price, so, not sure what we're getting in the long run...
Bed frames reails are alloyed steel, the piece I just tested is around 22 RC, this is at least 2 to 3 times more than hot rolled or cold rolled steel. Just beweare when welding to use for critical applications not to get cracking or fatigue failure...
Would that happen to be about the same hardness of a cheap drill bit? Thanks for the info!
Depends on how cheap you're talking about...
The lowest quality to me is the cheaper carbon drill bits, those are the ones they sell exclusively for wood working as the lowest priced entry price for occasionnal use...
If you get some drills in the HSS type you should be able to get fair amount of use with a decent grind on the tip, those HF ones shown in the video would do all right but with a decent grind cause the factiry grind is some of the owrse I've seen so far...
Here in Canada the HSS drill from CT set performed better and the original grind was lots better... Those drill bits are my all to go set for lots of my work, and, I regrind as they need it...
I also just picked up a cobalt set from Harbor Freight, the 115 piece set, with their 25% off coupon. Ended up paying about $85 after tax and am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. I kept burning out their TiN coated bits in no time. But these are holding up MUCH better. Honestly, don't even waste your time/money on the cheaper sets. They're seriously awful. My Milwaukee TiN set has held up much better, so I can't say all TiN bits are trash. But the cobalt ones from Harbor Freight, as far as I can tell at least, are actually very high quality bits. I'm pleasantly surprised.
I received a mixed set. Some marked as HSS not HSS Co.
If you didn't get what you wanted or advertised, just take pictures and send them with a proper explanation, you should get a refund or a replacement at no cost, if they ask for shipping back the goods, do not accept as the postage will cost you more than the goods.
Always worked for me on the few times something was wrong on my private purchases, again, make sure you're well doccumented...
Let me know how it turns out...!!!
I do not understand why you compared the harbor freight or CTbits which are HSS bits to a cobalt bit ?? Any brand of HHS will not do as well as a cobalt bit
The purpose of the video is to show that better quality and grade drill bits will get the job done in much harder material, the Cobalt bits are in deed more costly, but, also will make holes in much harder materials, so some viewers could understand that there are quite harder materials than others and that there are tools that can get the job done better than others, I've could also have shown the much lower limit of even cheaper carbon steel bits...
Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment, Pierre
I one bought good bang. However, we won't talk about that.
Let's keep it a secret... 🤫
Can anyone recommend a good set of reamers?
So far the only good reamers I got are from Germany or USA, nothing yet from cheaper sources, but if I come across something I'll gladly put up a video on my impressions, this may take a while, though...
Thanks for replying
Asaad omar For household, just buy a Bosch HSS set. Higher quality is HSS-Co, but Bosch doesn't sell in set.
I stopped buying Chinisium drills. Only USA made cobalt. It makes a huge difference!
Either US or China made materials have their great and not so great products, the issue is to get good references and also how much much money someone is ready or able to pay for the products...
Hi Pierre
while this has the appearance of an unbiased comparison, you're in a way comparing apples to oranges as the metallurgy of the drills and their respective materials range differ considerably.
the one question i would have is how do these bits behave/perform in deeper holes? do they drift at all with the factory grind, which drill bits out of chinese manufacture are notorious for?
how accurate are they on the size of their holes? are they within spec of +/- 0.1mm?
and while this may sound a tad crazy: how round are the holes the drill bits produce?
granted for the home gamer they will more than do the job they need to do, however there are lots of pros out there in youtube-land like me who watch this sort of thing and would consider buying a set if they meet spec.
cheers
mike
Hi Mike,
You're right about getting great drill bits, it's more than just making holes, all the other parameters are also important, mostly in CNC machining where you need to minimize operations ant tool changes.
This video was more to show how better drill bits were gonne perform so much better than ordinary ones, and how this could benefit a more casual user when they needed to get through tougher materials.
If possible I'd like to make a video about the points you mentionned, time is an issue lately as the four of us kids need to take special care of both our parents who need special care as their life is getting closer to the end...
Thanks for viewing and taking the time to write a comment, Pierre
This Bits Of USA ?
Those are one decent product from China, by searching a little you discover some good deals on specific products....
I know I commented before. Banggood allows PayPal checkout. That means I don't need to sign up, don't have to type in my address again and PayPal will give me a little protection if I don't get my goods. Saunders Machine Shop does this also. More retailers need to wise up... I need another account and password like I need a hole in my... wait, I bought drill bits? Never mind.
So far I like PayPal is one of my favorite way to transfer money to business and to individuals, it makes it quick and easy... ;)
Buy the m42
Yep... Even better when available for a good price...
I know where the crack noises come from. I prefer HSS-Co than HSS-G. But not from Banggood, China. Mine is Bosch - made in China. Quality is different!
Just a suggestion, but when you put a "bang good" flyer on the table in the middle of the frame of a video praising bang good drill bits, it makes it look like you're being paid by them. I KNOW you're not, and I KNOW you just put it there to be helpful, but people who don't know you might think there's funny business going on.
Hi Andrew, the sticker is an indication for the viewer to recognize the logo when getting to the web site from Banggood.
Just to make things clear here, I've been approach by some Banggood representative to test for them some of their products, some of those products are given to me, some others like those drills bits, I've purchased and paid for just like you would yourself.
Also I've made clear to them that I wasn't to promote any low quality product even the ones they give me.
For more clarity at the beginning of the videos I'll disclose the source of the products and if wether it was given to me or if I paid for it, and, as a consumer and viewer you always need to use your best judgment in order to have the last word on your final decisions.
My engagement to the viewers by making those reviews is to give my best and honest advice on some worthy products to the best of my knowledge, so other people will get at least some filtering from the bad quality products...
Thanks for your comment, Pierre
Bought 4 phones, didn't receive them, now they just keep asking for a paper trail of evidence - essentially back to their warehouse - given they arranged shipping, this is all too rich and smacks of evasion. Banggood is not a good company to trade with in my experience.
I'm sorry to hear this, so far you're the only one tha adderssed this issue directly to me, with millions of transactions there is always a fraction of customers that are getting problems, I sincerely hope there are very few of you people. So far nothing of the sort happened to me despite the numerous transactions I performed successfuly with the site.
Let me know how it resolves for you, maybe I could publish something here or get in touch with them, use my Email that is published in the description box or the about this channel.
Maybe I'll be able to help.
Regards, Pierre
Thanks Pierre, my experience with Banggood was great until it wasn't. Cheers Benny.
banggood seems to only sell metric shit, I'm in the U.S.A. , so banggood is out
Even the US are coming in the metric system, cars are already using all metric fasteners, and more industrial machines also coming metric, maybe not yet but eventually...
BTW, if one metric size is close enough to what you need, then it's the proper size to use, even just pre-drill or starter holes in difficult materials, the quality price ratio is a great one...
