    Never change PF. The unbiased testing honest results are priceless. Does a lot of good for buyers and companies improving products.
  • @meson183
    I checked out your masonry drill bit video when I needed to drill into a concrete pad. My old Bosch drill bit gave out after one hole and wouldn't drill any more. So I checked said masonry drill bit video and bought the Milwaukee set that scored so high in your testing. It breezed through the other 15 holes I had to drill and is still good for more. Don't ever stop, man. You rock and your reviews rock.

    I live in a small scandinavian country called Denmark. And every single person here I've pointed towards your channel, are VERY impressed, like myself. I can't help thinking of you as The Duracell Man - in the most positive way! Thanks for all the thorough and very informative and helpful videos
  • @Reillysluck458
    Some companies out there have absolutely amazing marketing teams with subpar products. Thank you for cutting through all the BS in your reviews and not being part of the “sponsored” crowd that pushes whatever company is supporting them. Always like when you do new reviews every 2-3 years on products to test new brands or see of old brands changed. Keep up the great work!!
  • Your impartial, scientific testing has shaken industries and helped us not waste money on really what are rip off products. Sincere thanks to you and all you have done for people who can't afford to buy the wrong product they need. Project Farm is my go to for product reviews!
  • @RedPillAlways
    I'm a steel fabricator I do a lot of drilling mitering machine operating and Welding so drill bits are essential. And I can tell you what I like the most are Kobalts Titanium coated and Bosch M42 Cobalt bits. Thats whats in my work toolbox. Steel Aluminum Stainless and even 1– 1.5" cold-roll and stress proof Steel. So I am very very very very very glad to watch this. Because in my world drill bits that aren't good cost me a lot so getting great drill bits not only help productivity but pay for themselves plus interest.
  • @UnkleBuckets
    Your integrity and thoroughness as a review never fails to impress
  • @sparklander
    A YouTube channel that provides useful and accurate information unlike so many of the "look at me" channels.
  • @shackman1306
    Thank you again. I drill a lot of holes in mild and hardened steel. The Bosch hold up great and good for the price. Most of the drilling is not on a press, but on our machines, we build. Century, viking, and some of the other brands you tested are also ones we use. What we really need is a good quality sharpener. I've only been in this company for 3 years, and little by little I've managed to convince the shop manager that tool maintenance saves money. It also improves productivity and work quality. I'm the oldest guy in the shop at 65 and plan to retire in a couple of years. I would love to leave this shop in better shape than I found it. Have a wonderful, warm day. And keep on doing the best tools reviews anywhere.
  • I like that you are revisiting older videos as well as the added commentary. You've been doing testing for a long time so your opinion is valid. As always great work.
  • @inigo_montoya
    As a person who enjoys tools, tooling, torture tests, and product reviews... We all love your content.
  • @ebonyhand2
    As a serious DIYer these videos are among the most helpful on YouTube. Suggest tests to settle which brands’ brushless lines are worth the upgrade over brushed power tools and which brands are not. Look forward to the next vid!
  • @elgage
    I needed this, marketing on drill bits has gotten absurd.

    The comments by the faithful speak volumes. Sir, I have been a faithful follower of Project Farm since you started up. I absolutely love the ingenious jigs, tools & other paraphernalia that you cobble together to test things, while avoiding errors. Your work around errors mechanisms should be mandatory teaching in college/schools that are training engineers. I always have been & still am an admirer of your ingenious testing techniques. I hope that you make a very good income from your site......you well deserve it !
