Thanks very much to Vevor for supplying the mag drill for review.
@AutoExpertJC. John. Please confirm that there are in fact 11 cutters included. The 2 options show one without any cutters and the other with 2 cutters only.
One thing I didnt see mentioned was if the magnet isnt holding down, whether the drill will still operate.
I have drilled into as thin as 2mm C section. Just clamped on a chunky piece of flat plate under section. You need a decent thickness of steel for the magnet to have decent holding power.
I have worked with Mag Drills for over 30 years in fab shops and construction site.
You can make up a small steel frame and use it as a drill press as well so you get the best of both worlds
Hi John. Great video, thank you. I've had one of these Vevor's (same model as you show) for a while and like you found it very easy to use, out-of-the-box. I first looked at hiring a Mag Drill from one of the large Hire places around and for two days hire, I covered the cost of the Vevor.
I would recommend one of these to anyone who needs to do serious drilling, having also used a large power hand drill on the job and found it took 10-15 minutes of pretty hard drilling to put a 10mm hole into a 5mm thick steel beam. The Vevor did it in about 1-2 minutes.
In 2010-2011 I was on a crew refurbishing a bridge on the Historic Register. Used one of those to remove the heads of 5000 rivets and then drive out the rivets and replace with high strength bolts. Heavy awkward and powerful.
I first came across mag drills in the mid 1970's my soon to be brother in law had an engineering workshop in Cambridge UK he had a mag drill that was an absolute beast the drill was a gut buster that was mounted on the magnetic base which had a tail with an adjustable stop so that more pressure could be used on the drill without the magnet lifting. I got to spend three weeks in the early 1980's using it to drill holes in Victorian wrought iron beams in the Cambridge corn exchange, it took two people to lift the thing overhead and we were getting through two cutters a hole on average as the glass hard outside of the beams blunted the cutters which got sent off for sharpening due to the cost of the cutters, now they are just about an expendable consumable. But for in a DIY shop I have worked in places where they have fifty men and one mag drill. Pro tip, it is worth hanging onto the slugs just in case you want to plug a tube or hole, the bigger ones especialy.
Always something to learn from your videos. Thank you.
11:30 got it! Good for safe cracking.
Thank Q. John. For the lesson. On friction and heat.
Just watched your 3 videos on torque wrenches John. Gripping stuff😁🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Great video, worked with mag drills for years .nice bit of kit for the price love it.
I was unaware of magnetic drill. Very cool, if you happen to have a large magnetic surface to drill into. Sucks when it's a big silver or gold plate ;-)
Seems a narrow use case, a mag drill, at least for the projects I envision. But it might open a new kind of projects.
Thank you John I’ve been thinking of getting one of these.😁👍
Hi John, I really enjoy your diy videos! Thank you.
Excellent info as always...so good, in fact, I decided that a mag drill press is not what I'm looking for. I had hoped to mate this up with the Vevor welding cart I received a few days ago, but a standalone drill press now seems to be the best option.
I don't drill holes, but I need one now.... Great video, love the content and wow, how cheap is that!
Gday John, I reviewed the same mag drill and was extremely impressed at how it preformed, only real negative I found was the drill chuck had far to much runout and unusable, the quality of the cutters are spot on, great value for money mate, cheers
Different drills have different arbor systems & therefore runout can vary from machine to machine. Some include a fixed hold that bolts into the base to limit that as much as possible.
Hey John, I got one of these in a "shut up and take my money" type of arrangement. How do they do it for the money???
One point to note though: I was expecting a bunch of annular cutters to be included but there were only 2-off 30mm ones in the box. I checked the vevor website and indeed it says only two. I could have sworn it advertised a set of cutters and the box lid wasn't taped down very well... I got what is advertised but I could swear black and blue it was advertised differently at time of order.
Doesn't matter too much though, this thing is a beast! Wanted one for a while, didn't realise you could get one for less than 2,000 dollarydoos.
I was so impressed I got the VEVOR 5L Sausage Filler Stuffer Machine, Salami Maker with 2-Speed Manual Operation!
Minge loves it.
Cool video
I ran a fleet of trucks, but began as a tech years ago. I had never even heard of a mag drill. After seeing yours in-action, I can see it's value in a lot of projects even if not many my own.
Your presentation really struck me at the end when you revealed the price. I checked the price in USD as that's where I live ($245USD/$364AUD). I then checked to see if I could get ot for that price here and was dumbfounded that it was actually cheaper and incl. free shipping at $199USD/$312AUD.
I know tools. I have bought many. This is cheap - dirt cheap IMO. I'm kind of suspicious of it as a matter of fact. But my suspicion. Also might be because I'm a jaded prick.

Perhaps a more objective review of the same drill by a tradesman.
Emb3t drill press
Geezuz, I dont need to drill big fat holes in big fat pieces of steel but I still want one the things beautiful
Yeah I only just learned these existed and as a roofer I can tell you that drilling medium to large holes with a battery drill is dangerous as fk anywhere other than on firm ground
If you want to drill aluminium, (if its flat) just clamp a piece of about 12mm steel plate (or wide angle iron) on top and then bung the mag drill on that.
Hi John you are not drilling correctly. The Drill bit should smoke and turn blue
Being a machinist, these are a must have tool. Plus, most machinists already have an R8 adapter with annular cutters so this purchase is a no-brainer!
Makes for an excellent portable drill press too.
I've have the older version for 2 years now and it still works just fine. I used mine recently to cut a 1.5" hole in some rectangular tubing (0.250" wall) to fix an old 12T hydraulic press 😊
I also own a BlueRock compact version too.
Just so you know, these magnetic drills spend most of their life sitting on a shelf collecting dust but when you do need one it's a Godsend to have one in the shop. So if you have the cash to spare, it's definitely worth buying.
Just some advice, don't make the mistake of buying the Vevor magnetic driil with the Nitto (Quick-Change) system because the annular cutters are way more expensive than the standard Weldon shank cutters 🤑
Does it have Morse taper in the bore?
I've seen and liked mag drills in factories (machine tool builders) I worked at, might be time to have my own. This one looks good.
Thank you so much for this video and also the discount code!. I just purchased the same drill as used in this video. The plan is to drill my welding table to turn it into a fixture table. I’ll be doing a video on it over on my channel. Thanks again
Man I remember when mag drills where like $1500 for a cheapie
Hi John Once again explained for all to understand. These mag drills are another level for the metal worker. The cutters also can be purchased bulk PKT via Vevor at a good price. Have a good week.
I could not find any listed at Vevor, !
and they sold out already,
Why does this bloke constantly give tips that aren't practical? My job (like most others here i'm sure) requires drilling through 2 inches of pure solid gold. How is a magnetic drill supposed to help in that situation? John needs to get real, and quick.
Unfortunately the Mag Drill is out off stock should be available in 2 weeks.
You would think they would make sure they had the drills in stock before running a promotion
I have considered a mag drill, unfortunately I have to keep well away from big magnets. Vevor sound like a good company until you receive a faulty product, then they will have nothing to do with you
Excellent video!! Question:- Could you drill thin aluminium sheet, say up to 1mm thick, using a mag drill like this one with a large piece of steel underneath the magnet but on the other side of the aluminium sheet? Would the electromagnet be powerfull enough to hold steady?
How big a hole do you need?
@@AutoExpertJC Up to maybe 30mm?
Aw, man, you didn't mention the model with the variable speed control...
I've lost count, John. Which do you have more of, mag drills or ex wives?
How did this run out of stock already?? Got money burning a hole in my pocket
Orthogonal? Wow! I am impressed JC. Biggest word I know is corrugated iron.. and that's actually 2 words :-)
I've been looking at this unit for a while or one like it from vevor I have a Hogan mag drill and they're branded annular Cutters are through the roof I don't care what country you live in their expensive I may just buy that vevor drill now just to get the cutters you mentioned lubricant but they make another option for that it's in a tube and you dip the annular cutter in it cutting paste it's not cheap either
Hougen invented the annular cutter geometry, but lots of other folks do them too. However, the cutting geometry is all about the ID, not the OD., so if you can use the coolant bottle to flood the ID your cutters will last dramatically longer. Also, if you use enough cutters there are units where you can regring both the ID & OD both. I have a lot of customers that resharp their own for a huge cost savings.
@timso522 didn't know you couldre grind those cutters I have a five gallon bucket of them. All different sizes metric and sae.
@@derekbryant6137 I've seen them reground, even have an old US distributor that did their own, & customers, in New Orleans. You can find the grinders for them online. Once you get the feel for it, I've seen the OD & ID reground in under 30 seconds.
Safety first hey....no fingers around the base when turning on the mag and don't put your hand between the side of the drill and a solid object. Drill slips and throws the whole drill sideways = amputation!
Personally Angular cutters are quick, but are expensive to sharpen.
Personally just use a twist drill on mine with a No 2 morse taper. Easy to sharpen.
Build a base that clamps onto your work, could be box or flat that raises the drill off the surface. I use mine as a drill press out on the job site.
You should experience a Makita 40 volt battery drill. They throw smoking hot swarf a good 10 meters at a rapid pace.
Never had your vaccine, but like all my vevor gear.
PhD = Poor Helpless and Desperate
i was thinking of getting one, but for the project i'd use it on... once... i could simply build a really long drill press table out of melamine wrapped mdf shelfcrap, a few pieces of steel and the rest aluminum. maybe some day i'll have a use for one.
Wow impressive, your video has made me rethink my drilling stuff. thanks for sharing.
I got one of these when I needed to drill 54 half inch holes in quarter inch steel. It's a huge time saver. Im talking 100x faster.
Yeah im guilty of forgetting its there and pulling the plug, always strap your tool it could possibly save you from a life long burden 😅😅😊
I don't do diy like that, but I do know the pain in using hand held tool. Many years ago, I needed to drill a hole on steel, it was "impossible". Last time I needed to drill hole on metal, was fixing things and need holes on aluminum. I only have hand held drilling tool, and it was bloody hard.
Thats a serious bit of kit John, thanks for the review. On another point what is brand/make is the apron that you are wearing, looks like a heavy duty one.
I recently purchased a mag drill from Vevor, and I love it. I bought the more expensive one, a bit over $500. It comes with variable spead and a quick release system which I believe is superior to the the two allen key systems in this video as the cutters can be changed in a few seconds with no tools the quick release system has less runout. it is not a lot but hey the less run out the better. The other thing is don't leave the magnet on for extended periods as it will eventually burn out. These Vevor mag drills are outstanding value for money.
"Hand drill: can drill at any angle except 90!" I'm going to use that!
Survived a long time in a truck workshop and never used one usually no room to use it. Even when we have one.
Now all I need is a masonry drill to put holes in bricks and cement at 90 degrees to the wall to fasten the steel to the wall 😢
🤣 John sold out Vevor’s supply of this kit in minutes! 😁
Many thanks for the variety content. Side note, my licence is still 100% in tact, 6 weeks later...
not available in the UK annoyingly! like quite a lot of their other stuff 😠
I’ve never had a problem holding the tool with one hand while plunging it deep into the job either 😊
Great presentation
I need some help from you on mag drills, and it smells like a good video idea!
Recently, I got a really cheap used one (not VEVOR).
Problem is, it keeps falling (motor down the dovetail). I thought it would have a spring like big drill press, but couldn't find a spring even in diagram of the machine. After a lot of research with no results I saw a video from the assembly line and the assembly guy was using a torque wrench to push it down instead of the tree levers, and he vas doing it vith machine in horizontal position. So I figured he was setting up the needed torque/force that should be used on the leavers to bring it down or up.
So now I need some idea on how to set up my old BDS MAB485 so that it doesn't fall on it's own: how much torque, how to set the dovetail, etc.
Thanks in advance if you decide to help, and even more if you make a video.
All the best!
Not for NZ????? Pity!
Are there other imperial speakers than the loudest 5%?
Could not pass up a deal like this for a mag drill . Thankyou John
I don’t own one as I cannot afford one . However that drilled through that steel with no effort at all. WOW very impressed . I am on a disability pension and have always enjoyed metal work ,welding ect, I did save a buy a 2 outlet forge from Vevor and that’s awesome, trying to get into knife building ect . In the process of trying to make a type of Anvil . Welded steel together for now, getting there slowly.
Never stop learning, never stop doing, never give up!
Good on ya, Andrew!
This tool looks brilliant! I wish I had a use for one.
Please show the drill drilling on a vertical surface, in the many reviews of these drills I am yet to see a vertical surface or an overhead, can the be used overhead. Genuinely interested. Ray.
In the video he states it can and if you click on the vevor link it also states it in the product description.
Dude, 58 yr old boily here, nearly fell off my chair when you stated the price, went straight there used the VVEVOR coupon, purchase seems to have happened, but i will believe it when i get it, my age has made me somewhat sceptical.
It's like I said mate: a free mag drill when you buy a set of discount rotobroaches. Enjoy.
going to use it at work, may not last but what the hell $350 it will do when some one is using the shop rota and i don't want to go onto something else while waiting, i hate having to re plan my order of operations.@@AutoExpertJC
I hope to get some common sense content today... so many BS channels... please John save US mmm rooly rooly good drill, will it work on wood
_will it work on wood_
Ironbark?
John. You've won the 'metal' Medal.
Nice gay t-shirt John!!!
From Poland Special forces?
The other day, I had to drill a 44mm hole using a twist drill. I was using a radial arm drill however. These annular cutters are so much easier to drill with.
That is a serious drilling assingment. Power fed on the quill?
@@AutoExpertJC was available but not used, had to use two hands and lots of pressure
That mag drill is an awesome piece of kit. Does it work on timber ?
Nah - they make a magnetic chainsaw for that.
Question answered😊
The best value mag dril is the one that you "borrow " from work.
Just got a Vevor 13000N today on your recommendation. $254 US dollar on Amazon. Works like a charm. And I'm not an easy grader.
How do I message you on telegram? Never heard of it.
Thanks.
AKA Rotabroach
Yup.
This is bank robber tool...ok soon as I seen name, it is not for that purpose. That brand is pure garbage
'Throat depth'.....it's never enough, speaking for myself.
