As I was doing a clutch job and replacing the flywheel on my trusty 914 2.0 I go down to the flywheel. The Allen head bolts had two that were stripped, and needed to be drilled. I whipped out my trusty Sears bits I had for years and after 10 minutes it had a tiny dent in the bolt.

My 914 was my only car back then, so I borrowed my neighbors bike and rode to a nearby tool store. I bought some cobalt bits and was astonished when they ate into the bolts like it was made of wood. They made short work of the bolts, and I finished the clutch job.

I threw out the old Sears set and started collection good drill bits.
