Step drill bits

[Scott]

Anyone know where I can buy the step drill bits needed to install sling swivels? None of the big stores seem to have them.

Brownells has them. Midwayusa as well.

Harbor Freight
They have the 3 set on sale for $9-12 once in a while

I cant, Ive killed a several before I went with a Matco (Irwin) set that managed to make through the past few years.

I can...
I use them daily.. yes daily in my job and have used the same ones for almost 5 years.
If you are just cutting mild steel, aluminum, brass or wood they work just fine.
I even used them to cut larger holes in truck frames about once a month.

A step drill in no way replaces a standard index. I always pre-drill a pilot hole.

Decause of the design they are difficult if not impossible to sharpen, but at $9 for a 3 piece set they are a steal when on sale.

Ahhh yes, the old Uni-bit. Body man's favorite tool.
