Often taken for granted, drill bits are humble heroes and need care in order to perform at their best for longer. Read our steps below for great advice on how to care for drill bits.
Step 1 – Clean your drill bits as you work. If you do not stop every five to ten minutes to wipe off your drill bit with a dry cloth, you run the risk of hurting your drill bit (and whatever you’re drilling) by allowing shrapnel and other debris to scratch your bit.
Step 2 – Let the drill bit cool off after you finish your project. Take a clean, dry towel and wipe the drill bit off, going from base to tip. Once you do a good wipe down this way, slowly spin the drill for a few seconds with the towel still wrapped around the bit.
Step 3 – Use a clean, dry toothbrush to scrub off any stubborn debris. It will be easier to brush the bit if it is still in the drill, but this is not necessary.
Step 4 – Apply a light coat of machine oil to all bits after they are wiped down. Store them in a cool, dry place away from any natural elements such as light, wind, or rain
