Look for the Alpen - Made in Austria mark - the highest quality rating. There is a saying often used by Alpen R&D “Good is not good enough, it has to be perfection.
Anyone who does a lot of jobs that involve drilling and has the experience and expertise on drill bits and drilling itself, should be aware of buying good quality drill bits. With Alpen innovations, they guarantee accurate work, more reliability and longer working life of their products.
“DIY enthusiasts tend to think they know it all when it comes to drilling, drill bit selection and the various available brands and products, however this is not the case. Drilling is an art in itself and so important that one of our key training courses at head office is all about drills. The course is titled ‘Drill Bit Science’ and covers all you need to know about drill bits and drilling. By attending the course you will learn all about the science of drill bits and selecting the right drill bit for a job. It also offers valuable information on what drill bit does what and understanding the material you are drilling into be it steel, wood or masonry, tiles, granite or concrete.”
“The course also covers how to handle the drill itself, setting the speed of the drill, how much pressure one needs to put behind the drill, should you use drilling fluids, as this is very important to prolong the life of your drill bits and get the job done accurately.” said Ryan Hunt - Director at Vermont Sales. See bottom of this page for more details on the Drill Bit Science course.
“Constant quality controls ensure a trouble-free production process,” said Ryan Hunt - Sales Director Vermont Sales, who are the official agents in SA for the famous Alpen brand. “The fact that they can thereby actually achieve their high standards is best demonstrated by one simple statistic: The complaint rate on their products is 0%.” “We are also only too happy to take calls from customers on drilling and choosing the correct drill bit for the job, or wanting specific information on drill bits.”
