15 best drill manufacturers

Drills are used to create through holes in metal, wood and concrete, as well as to make recesses and grooves. The tooling is used together with screwdrivers, drills and perforators. The production involved large machines. This is a mandatory attribute for repair, construction and various workshops. Usually, such equipment is bought in whole sets in order to have the necessary dimensions immediately at hand, therefore it is reasonable to study the rating of the best manufacturers of drills, which will help determine a large range of products. The material is based on characteristics and customer reviews, and is created solely for informational purposes.

How to choose a drill

Before considering the rating, we mention several key parameters that should be considered when choosing drills. Combined with information about the best manufacturers, this will help you choose the best product for specific tasks. Drills are chosen by paying attention to:

1. Suitability for materials. Products are manufactured separately for wood, concrete, glass, ceramics and metal. The tooling is not interchangeable, so for a particular material only suitable drills are used.
2. Colour. The tool is made of instrumental high-speed steel having a silver color. This is the cheapest, but short-lived option. Black drills are hardened with steam and retain sharpening of the cutting edge longer. Bright golden coated on the outside with titanium nitride, which reduces friction and increases strength. The pale golden ones were hardened, but the internal stress was removed, which removed the fragility.
3. Cutting view. Edge sharpened with a different angle, depending on the diameter of the drill, and may be triangular (spiral) or with a centering rod (trident). The latter is required for fast drilling without punching. Crowns with drills help create a large hole for a lock insert, etc. Pen tips are used for wood and fast passage thickness of 5-15 mm. Diamond coated on a tubular base and are suitable for glass and tiles.
4. Marking. The marking on the shank indicates what the drill is made of. HSS implies conventional high speed steel. The prefixes in the index E, Co, TiN report various additives in the form of cobalt, titanium, etc., which increases the strength and resistance to overheating. CV is prescribed chrome-vanadium steel.
5. Type of working part. The body of the drill is cylindrical in the form of a spiral (to create through holes), tapered (for recesses or fast drilling of shallow holes of different diameters), stepped (instantaneous transitions to different diameters of holes when drilling sheet steel without a snap).
6. Shank. Cylindrical type suitable for hand drills and screwdrivers. Cone applies only to machine tools. Cylindrical with grooves suitable for installation in a punch with a cartridge SDS-Plus and SDS-Max. Hexagon inserted into the screwdriver with a similar cartridge instead of bits. The three-sided cylinder is clamped by a three-lobe drill chuck and prevents scrolling with resistance against viscous material.
7. Diameter. Drills with a diameter of 1.0 to 55 mm are produced.The snap-in will turn out to be inserted into an electric drill chuck with only 13 mm, all others are suitable for machine tools. The diameter is selected taking into account the future of the hole to be obtained. When drilling with a size of 10 mm, the finished hole will have 11 mm, since 1 mm "eaten" by active rotation.
8. Length. It is selected depending on the required depth of the hole. The indicator varies from 3 to 90 cm.

Understanding how to choose a drill, let's move on to the rating that brought together the best manufacturers based on the characteristics of their products and the feedback from the masters. The experts analyzed the range of products, types of steel used, service life and practical user experience, which helped to highlight the company in this order.

Haisser

Rating: 4.9

We gave the first place in the ranking to a German manufacturer, known for its products not only in Europe and the CIS, but also in the USA. The company has manufacturing facilities at home and in China, so the quality of products, unfortunately, varies. But German drills are distinguished by sharp sharpening and long service life. For the price, they occupy an average place that most users like in reviews. The products are manufactured in two series “Medium TN” and “Long TM”. The first line includes models with lengths from 3.4 to 15 cm, and in the second one from 5.6 to 20.5 cm. Goods are sold both individually and in sets. The priority direction of drilling is metal.

Our experts have identified this manufacturer as the best, because it produces many drills with a cross-shaped point of the cutting edge. Thanks to this design, the equipment easily “bites” into the material even without punching and does not shift during initial rotation. Another working part of the tool is always thinner than the shank, so it is less susceptible to wear when the drill is dropped into the chuck and continued rotation.

So, a set of 19 pieces with diameters from 1 to 10 mm and a step of 0.5 mm can be purchased for only 1000 rubles.
