    Default USA: Tool Test for Porsadrill tile drills for drilling holes with 365Drills core bits

    The following article has been written by ProTool review in the United States.

    It gives a third party view of tile drills branded PORSADRILL by 365drills.

    ----------------------------------------------------
    Below is a sample of the article:

    Porsadrill supplies tile hole saws and bits in a variety of sizes - a very large variety. According to their website they have over 35 sizes to choose from, ranging from 6mm (1/4") to 125 mm (5"). There are a variety of sample packs as well as single bit sizes, each coming with a non-slip drill guide plate.

    Why a guide plate? Because as we mentioned earlier, these hole saw bits don't come with a central pilot bit to guide the way. Instead, you begin cutting immediately, in the exact location you choose. Porsadrill provides standard hole saws that fit into a cordless drill, or you can get larger sizes (70mm, 2-3/4" or greater) equipped for use in a drill press for cleaner, more precise, cuts. They also carry a line of hobby craft bits that are smaller in size (3-5mm) and more suited for drilling pebbles, pendants, rocks or glass beads. These are designed for use with either bench drills or a Dremel tool. With respect to their Bathroom Fitters Kit Max (BFKMX), Porsadrill puts the individual costs of each of the components, if bought separately, at $182 dollars. We thought that sounded about right, but wanted to do the math on our own using a known supplier. Here are our numbers:

    • 1/4" - $17.50 x 2 = $35
    • 5/16" - $20 x 2 = $40
    • 5/8" = $29
    • 1-1/4" = $42
    • 1-5/8" = $47


    Grand total = $193 (not including the guide plate)


    What we came up with was close enough to see that Porsadrill isn't messing around when it says that their Bathroom Fitters Kit Max (BFKMX) at $99 dollars delivers a bargain value.
