The Drill Doctor

The Drill doctor has been around now for almost 7 years since it was first available in 1997.  Since that time the company has sold over 1 Million units! One of our staffers, John, was pleased to have received one of the top models to try out and test (the Pro 500 the one pictured to the right) John bought one of the first models back in early 1999 and says he religiously uses it to save money and extend the life of his drill bits.  He was eager to to test out the new version and to see how well it worked.  Here is John's rendition of his first use:

As soon a I opened the box it was very evident that it looked much different than my original one.  It was a bit larger and seemed to have many more features, such as a viewing window and two angles adjustments, 118° or 135°, the carrying case made it that much more attractive.  Being the expert I am at using my old one, I found myself familiar with how to use it, however it came with a great instructional video as well.  I did have one problem,  I did not have any dull bits! So I got out a 1/4" piece of steel and my drill press and went to work.  My first victim was a 5/16" bit then I did a larger 3/8" and finally a 1/2" I'd like to tell you in a matter of minutes I was ready to use the Drill Doctor, but this took me all afternoon.  6 pieces of steel later, I was ready to test the Drill Doctor.  It was nice to have number molded in the unit that tells you what to do first.  With the added features it was a help to get things started. In about 5 minutes I re-sharpened all the bits, got out a fresh piece of 1/4" steel and like a "hot knife and butter" the hole was made, the bit was as sharp as the day I bought it.  The new unit seemed to be much quicker and quieter than my old one.  When I found out the cost I was very surprised that they had actually come down in price since I bought mine. I have always loved my Drill Doctor and highly recommend one to everyone.  Thanks John.

Before we received the Drill Doctor we got a nice story from them about a Cobra builder in Colorado.  We asked if we could verify the story and sure enough everything was true so we would like to share it with you now.

 

Dull Drill Bits Don’t Stop Kit Builder Bob Cowan


Colorado Springs, CO -- Bob Cowan is spending his free time building an all aluminum Cobra – a full size replica. Bob’s been building cars since he was a kid. He’s now in his 40s. As most hobbyists know, the real fun is making modifications to these cars. The downside is that fabricating a model car requires a massive amount of riveting – every 1 ˝ inches for this particular kit. Along with the riveting comes dull drill bits. And when it’s Wednesday night at 8 pm, Bob would rather be doing things like adding a 600 horsepower big bore engine to his kit cars than running to Sear’s for new drill bits.

Fortunately for Bob, there’s a tool that quickly gets him back on track and lets him reuse his old drill bits – over and over and over again – the Drill Doctor from Professional Tool Manufacturing, LLC (www.drilldoctor.com). Bob’s always known that once you have a decent drill motor, a sharp bit is the key to getting work done.

In the recent past, Bob would easily spend $50-$60 dollars on a set of drill bits every year. No more. Now, he runs the bits through the Drill Doctor twice a day, and then he doesn’t have to worry about the hardware store being open late on a Sunday night. The last time he bought new drill bits was two years ago.

With dull bits, Bob finds that work can really slow down. At this point, most people go out and buy more expensive – and more powerful drills – thinking that a few more AMPs or RPM will help them get their work done.

Bob’s pretty proud of his solution. He didn’t have to go out and spend several hundred dollars buying a spiffy new high powered drill that only helps a little. He’s saving $60 a year on drill bits that he’d just throw away. He enjoys his hobby more and gets more done. All because he spent $150 on a Drill Doctor.

So, back to work for Bob – not exactly a hardship with a garage that has hot and cold running water and high tension power lines. In the past, he’s built other Cobras, Mustangs, trucks – all of which are sold to “fuel” the next project. The fun is in the creation -- maybe taking a few rounds around the track, doing a few a car shows, maybe some cruising on a hot summer night. As for Bob’s “real job,” he’s a Physician Assistant in Family Practice and in the Emergency Department.

Professional Tool Manufacturing, LLC, is a privately owned company that designs and manufactures the Drill Doctor® brand. Since its introduction in 1997, the Drill Doctor® line has sold more than one million units. All major U.S. hardware retailers carry the Drill Doctor® brand.
