    Default Step drill bits

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

    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.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
