So what do you think of the ELITE Jobber Drill 507's?

I've used many brands of jobber drill bits throughout my engineering career, and I'd rate the ELITE Jobber Drills 507 the best over all of them.

Your ELITE 507's are outperforming the others at a rate of four to one. Where before I would drill four holes through 20mm mild steel plates, the drill bit would then need sharpening. Now, I'm achieving up to 16 holes before needing a sharpen!.  

What are some of the features you like most?

Some of the outstanding features I like about these drills are that they have 3  machined flats on the shank so no more chuck slip, they have a 130 degree split point which ensures this drill just bites without wandering, and the superior stay sharp wear resistance.  

(This high performance, is due to the gold hi-molybdenum tool steel, and a special heat treatment process that is providing really great longevity.)

Would you recommend the ELITE Jobber Drill 507's to other engineers?

Yes, it's the best I've ever used.
