We all know there are specialty drill bits for any hole-drilling job we will ever encounter. For the most part however, most if not all of us, use general-purpose HSS (high-speed steel) twist bits most often. Drilling holes in soft metals, mild steel, wood and plastic materials inexpensively makes these types of drillbits the smart choice. I know it is the low cost of these must have drilling tools. That keeps us going back to the store purchasing new rather than. Learning how easy it is to sharpen a dull and damaged Drillbit.

While we are on the topic of wasting money, did you know? We can easily buy a 1/2in HSS drill bit for under $3 at Amazon.
