Bob: Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101. I'm Bob, today we're gonna review Norseman Viking Ultradex drill sets. Let's get started.

So, we have three sets here. We have the black set, orange set and red set. All of these are USA made jobber bits. They have a 135-degree point. The cases are waterproof, shatterproof; and we're going to test that. Each set has 29 bits. They are in 1/16" increments from 1/16" to 1/2".

Ultradex Black: This is what the bit looks like. Each one has a little bit different of a color, this has gold and black. This one for the Ultradex Orange is also like a gold and gray color, the bits. This has the Tri-flats on the end. And then the Ultradex Red has bits that are mostly all silver in color and this also has the tri-slippage flats.

With all your drilling, we always recommend that you use a lubricant. This is a Norseman product. Ultra SP. Which is a super-premium lubricant. That is to be used when drilling. Ok, so we're going to review each one of the sets.

This one, the black set, is Norseman Viking brand, USA made. High Speed Steel, Gold oxy-coated round shank. So the shanks are round. 135 Degree point. 29-Piece set. Ultradex. Waterproof, crack-proof. Amazing set.

The next set is the Orange Ultradex 29-piece set. Norseman Viking USA-made. High-speed (steel), Gold-Oxy coated. Round shank with three flats reduces clogging and slippage. 135 Degree point. High-visibility packaging. Orange, ya can't miss that wherever you drop it. Awesome set, waterproof, shockproof, crack-proof. Awesome.

Ok, Red Ultradex, 29 Piece Set. Norseman Viking USA Made. Cryogenic Bits, nitrated to create case-hardening for extended tool life and corrosion resistance. 3 Flats. 135 Degree bit. This is the top of the line set. Amazing, in the same shatter proof waterproof, shatterproof, waterproof and high visibility case. These are also made for hard metal drilling applications. Superior to cobalt. Won't break or shatter when used by awkward angles, so, amazing.

These Norseman Ultradex cases are really cool cases. I definitely need one for my shop. The cases are waterproof. They have this waterproof seal around the edge. The bits are all lined up, as you can see here, inside this case. They are separated. They have the sizes written right on the case. On the inside there. The case has a screw-on top. It has a belt buckle. You can see the Norseman name, sometimes they have their name imprinted. Sometimes they just put a label on there. Depends on how they're feeling that day. You can see on the backside, it says, USA Made. Ok so, the case, the bits, are all made here in our great country: The United States.

It also has the belt buckle which I'm going to, I don't have a belt on, but I'm going to put it on my pants. For those guys who want to walk around with it, you can do that. It's a great option that they include in this case. And, so now, we close it, we sealed it, and we're going to do the drop test.

Alright so were going to do the drop test. Here we go right off the table, someone knocks it off. So, no cracks, it survived the drop. That's awesome. Let's go to the water test. Let's do the water test. As you can see here, I have a bucket full of water. I'm gonna drop it in there and lets see if any water gets inside. I've closed the top. These are supposed to be waterproof so there is no leakage. Now, this is the same set that I dropped on the floor, that has not cracked. So, let's see what we get. Let’s leave it in there a second... and I'm going to pull it out. Gonna dry it off - the outside. Just so water doesn't drip inside. So we tested to see that it is dry. and I'm going to open it up, here, now. It's dry. No water inside. Looks Good.

So as you can see, this set, Ultradex, does not crack or leak. You can use this outside. You can work in inclement weather and you don't have to worry about your drill bits getting wet and a mess.

Awesome set it is a must have.

Bob: Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101. Today we're gonna be reviewing Drill and Tap Combo (Bits) by Norseman Viking. So let's get started.

Let's start the review. These are Norseman Viking Drill Tap Combo Bits. They have gold oxy (coating), they're two in one combo bits, self-centering so no matter how you how you point your bit in its gonna self-center and drill straight. It has the three flats, so you won't have any slippage and it also reduces clogging. Should be used with drill lubricant. High speed steel.

You get this nylon patch, so you can close it or wrap it up you. You can put it on your belt, if you want, so very nice for the handyman. Now if I can get it off...It has seven combo bits. This is one of them. There are four up here, three down here. Total of seven combo bits. You get an: #8-32, a #10-24, a 1/4"-20, 5/16"-18, 3/8"-16, 7/16"-14 and a 1/2"-13. The tip is a 135 degree. These are awesome.

Here is your drill point that, you're drilling into the steel and then here is your tap. All built into one, one function no switching; from a bit to a tap. Time saving. This is awesome for the hollow metal door installations. Those of you who have piano hinges or anything of that sort to install, 54 screws into one hinge, this is the baby. So let’s get started. Let's test it and we're gonna go through a 3/8” piece of structural steel. We're gonna see how well this USA made bit performs. I installed (the bit) into my drill, a 1/4"-20 drill tap. We're going to be drilling into this 3/8” steel.

1/4"-20. That's what we are tapping for, a 1/4"-20 screw. First, I'm going to put a little lubricant on here. This is the Norseman Viking lube. So, we're gonna get started. Wow, there we go. Gonna grab a screw. Look at that. Awesome, that is an amazing fit. You probably get about, I would say... I would say probably about... depends on what you are going through. If you're going through steel like this, 3/8" steel, you're probably looking at somewhere 20 maybe 30 taps, drilling taps that you can go through. This is not hot, you can see, i'm touching it.

So using that lubricant is key. I'm touching with my fingers and if you didn't use lubricant than you're just going to burn out the bit. It's very important to use those lubricants, you saw how fast that was. Took me like 30 seconds I think to drill that out and tap it. BAM!

So there you go, one awesome set. You gotta go and get one of these. It's a must have in your toolbox. For those moments, when you're just trying to drill and tap something out.
