Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Instead of throwing away old, dull bits, give them a checkup with the Drill Doctor and extend their life. Although drill-bit sharpening systems often fail to live up to our expectations, we're here to bear witness for the truth of the Drill Doctor's claims: it really does sharpen old bits in just a couple of minutes. The 250SP (Drill Doctor's Handyman model) sharpens conventional tipped bits and masonry bits from 3/32 to 1/2 inches in size at a 118-degree angle. It makes a great addition to a home shop and the do-it-yourselfer's toolbox. For people who need to be able to sharpen split-point bits or sharpen at a 135-degree angle, Drill Doctor's 500SP and 750SP models might be a better bet. Operation is fairly simple, but to make sure no one has trouble figuring it out, a how-to video is included. Anyone who frequently wears down drill bits is going to appreciate the savings this handy machine can offer. Using sharp bits instead of dull ones also increases the life of your drill, because sharper bits require less work to make the same hole. We only wish we'd found the Drill Doctor sooner. --Brian Trinen

From the Manufacturer

Why be dull? Sharpen your drill bit. The Drill Doctor uses a diamond wheel to sharpen drill bits into high-performance points from 3/32 to 1/2 of an inch. The sharpener is double-insulated with an impact-resistant plastic casing and a 6-foot power cord (120 volts). Darex makes drill-bit sharpening affordable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Drill Bit Sharpener That Really Works!, June 30, 2000
By 
Douglas Stowe (Eureka Springs, AR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Drill Doctor 250 Drill Bit Sharpener (Misc.)
I saw the Drill Doctor 250 demonstated at a show and when mine came in the mail, I didn't need the video to begin sharpening my piles of dull bits. It is easy and fast. For those that haven't had the advantage of a live demonstration, the free video covers all the bases. Old dull bits are as sharp as brand new in minutes. The unit is compact and well made in the USA.

I am a professional woodworker and have an appreciation of well crafted tools. I wish the Drill Doctor could also sharpen my brad points. If they make one that will, I'll buy it as well.

In the meantime, as a homeowner and woodworker that frequently puts conventional drills to severe use, I've no doubts that the Drill Doctor will save me time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sharpner-Great Price!, October 23, 2001
This review is from: Drill Doctor 250 Drill Bit Sharpener (Misc.)
The Drill Doctor 250 is one of those few products that deliver performance exactly as advertised! I was able to restore 40 or so dull bits collected over the years (personal problem throwing junk away)! The 250 gave the bits balanced, sharp cutting flukes that hold up well. The new cutting edges have extended life to my cordless drills batteries and reduced project times due to greater efficiency in drilling operations. The video and operation materials are real straight forward and easy to understand.

I've used several power tool bit sharpeners, including the old B & D industrial units. They all worked well but at 3 to 4 times the price. Darex has produced a quality product at a real value price for the consumer.
