Why Alpen Drill Bits Are A Smart Choice

Tools and accessories like everything else sell at different price levels; there is the cheap stuff you know won't last long and the quality brands that have a long lifespan and do the job faster but which would you choose?

When you pop into Builders for drill bits, you probably don't give much thought to what brand of drill bits you buy as long as they drill a hole. Right? But there is a big difference between Chinese-manufactured drilling accessories and those of Alpen, which are manufactured in Austria.

 

When running the DIY-Divas workshops over the past 15 years, one comment I always shared with those attending was that they spent their money on drill accessories (driver bits, drill bits, spade and MAD bits, etc.) that were manufactured in Austria, Germany or Switzerland. Why would I say this? Because Far Eastern suppliers add components to their steel that make the accessories weaker and have a short lifespan, some of only one use before they are blunt.

 

 

 

 

Alpen drill bits guarantee accuracy, reliability, repeatability and longer lifespan.

 

 

 

Alpen drill bits are manufactured in Austria according to a high level of quality control as concerns design and quality. Alpen bits have received numerous certifications for high-quality standards, some only granted to a few manufacturers that ensure end users purchase exceptional bits that deliver precise results, repeatedly.

 

 

If you consider yourself a DIY Diva or are looking to get started on a few projects in and around the home then Alpen drill bits are for you! Less effort is required to drill holes in all types of materials and that cuts down on the time spent drilling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next time you take a trip to your local Builders store, take a closer look at what is on offer as concerns drill accessories and think about spending a bit more on a quality product that delivers precision and accuracy with a long lifespan.
