Diablo Introduces New Step Drill Bits Designed for Increased Durability, Speed and Productivity Optimized for Cordless Impact Drivers and Drill Drivers
Six Times Longer Life, Two Times Faster Holes, 75 Percent More Holes Per Charge
ATLANTA, Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Diablo, a solution-oriented range of best-in-the-world, and best-for-our-world products for the professional user, announces their new impact and drill-driver-ready Step Drill Bits. Using innovative technology, these new Step Drill Bits are designed to meet the user's needs when drilling holes in sheet metal, stainless steel, PVC and other plastics. In fact, these new Step Drill Bits answer the growing issues confronting users of standard step drill bits, namely, durability, speed and lack of being impact driver ready.
The building market is dominated by cordless tools and is quickly transitioning from drill drivers to impact drivers. Diablo gathers end-user feedback constantly, and realizes that step drill bits have not kept up with these trends and have a variety of design issues that hold back worker productivity, drilling accuracy and bit longevity. For example, with a standard step drill bit:
- The tip and the cutting edges wear out quickly.
- To prevent bit walking, users must pre-drill, prior to using a step drill bit.
- The bits have a tendency to jam during use.
- They often require use of multiple drills because not all step drill bits are impact driver ready.
- Users are frequently unable to identify the sizes of the steps.
- Repeated use of step drill bits with a drill driver is hard on the user's wrist and slows down completion of the task.
Now, Diablo is pleased to announce that with the introduction of its new impact and drill driver ready Step Dill Bits that has all changed. These new bits have been designed to be "best in the world" in terms of durability, speed and accuracy, eliminating the problems users have with standard step drill bits.
"With the introduction of the Diablo Step Drill Bits, we are staying true to our Best in the World and Best for Our World commitment: provide cutting edge designs and solutions that address current issues and industry trends," said Russell Kohl, President and CEO of Freud America. "The market is dominated by cordless tools and is transitioning quickly to impact drivers as users find these less hard on their wrists and allow them to be more productive. These new Step Drill Bits address all the issues end users face when using step drill bits, providing users with a bit that is more accurate, provides up to twice as fast drilling times, and enhanced durability to last up to six times longer than your standard bit."
