Abracs BRAND NEW Multi-Purpose Drill Bits fulfil a variety of needs, cutting a plethora of material applications with a single bit, making these products a must have for any tool box.

The range of Multi-Purpose Drill Bits are designed to be the ONE bit you will need for multiple material applications, resulting in higher productivity and less downtime.

These precision ground drill bits feature a high quality, 120 degree Tungsten Carbide tip that is manufactured for long life and more precise drilling. The bits diamond ground cutting edges are strong and durable, enabling multi-purpose drilling through virtually all construction materials including metal, wood, plastic, masonry and tiles. Designed with a steep, aggressive U-type flute that offers efficient and optimal removal of dust and debris, resulting in faster drilling speeds.

Our Resident Product Tester, Bruce Bellinger took these products for a spin in the Abracs Test Zone for some quality management checks, “I was very impressed with the speed and durability of these drill bits, finding that they worked especially well on hardened steel. I tested them across a range of material applications and noticed that when drilling hardened steel that the Tungsten Carbide tip allowed the bits to quickly anchor into the material, whereas some other bits might skid across the surface. Overall the drill bits performed to a very high standard, and being able to use one product for multiple materials saved a lot of time”.

The range spans from 3mm - 12mm, with individual bits packaged in informative hanging pouches. We also offer a counter top stand display option for these products, with a magnetic advertising strip to further promote the BRAND NEW range.

The weekend of the 14th and 15th of September is one that will forever stick with 7 of the Abracs Team as one hell of an achievement. The Rat Race Coast-to-Coast takes you on a breathtaking 105 mile route taking in some of the most mysterious and wild locations in Scotland the weekend saw us run, cycle and kayak past the historic Cawdor Castle, the legendary Loch Ness and the mountainous Glen Nevis and Glencoe, the route is described as unforgiving Highland terrain and unpredictable weather that breeds tough folk, across the weekend we found out why.

The long drive from the Abracs HQ in York to Nairn in Northern Scotland was a scenic journey filled with anticipation, nerves & carbohydrates, followed by a smooth registration for the event and a quick assembly of a tent, the team saw the sun set on a stunning Scottish evening with some takeaway pizza and a few games of overly competitive table tennis before getting some rest ahead of the first day.

After what was a pleasant evening, Day 1 saw the weather deteriorate, with colder temperatures and some wind coming in. Still eager to get going the team hit the start line at 9am sharp, setting off as part of wave 2 we set off on the 7 mile trail run from Nairn to Cawdor Castle. The run was a reasonably simple route following the Nairn coastline before cutting in through the woods, down some narrow track and along the river towards the transition at Cawdor Castle. Despite some uneven surfaces and a couple of slips on the muddy forest tracks everybody got through unscathed ready to climb on the bikes.

A quick transition to top up the water bottles and pull on the cycling shorts and the team were heading out on the bikes for a 48 mile ride south west towards Fort Augustus. It is safe to say that no amount of training could of prepared the team for what was to come. 40mph head winds, ice-cold rain and a 5000ft gain in elevation made for what was probably the most difficult part of the entire race. Cycling around the final corner and looking down on the campsite below was a very welcome sight knowing that the challenge of Day 1 was complete. Burgers and beers helped keep spirits high, as the rain stopped around 9pm the team hoped that would be the last we saw of the dreaded rain that weekend.

The team woke on Day 2 with some aches and pains but the dry weather was enough to give everyone a boost and get them back on the bikes. The whole team boosted by the dry weather powered through the off-road cycling, making great pace along the flatter canal tow paths before some great fun negotiating the forest tracks flying down hills and trying to avoid the huge potholes and rocks strewn across the route As we came down one final hairy slope we could see the road in sight and knew that there was only 13.5 miles of road cycling to go before we would ditch the bikes for good. The road cycle was a relatively flat and scenic route, following the waters edge of Loch Lochy we wound around the quite roads and towards the transition at Fort William.

At the transition it was back into the running shoes and after a quick food stop we were ready to take on the 14 miles which would take us from Fort William to waters edge of Loch Leven. However this again was not as simple as anyone had hoped. The route was up and down trails and streams littered with rocks and mud, which at one point took us through a fast flowing river where the water came above the knee. The route wrapped around the mountains, with breathtaking 360º panoramic views. We then swept through a valley before approaching our final climb, a 2000ft gain in elevation up a thin and muddy trail path, and as they say what goes up must come down, and with what can only be described as a slide down the other side of the mountain we were brought back down to road side and to the waters edge at Loch Leven. Muddy and wet from our numerous falls it was into the kayaks, only 1 mile of open water stood between us and the finish line, the cramps and aches began to surface but knowing we were so close the adrenaline pushed us on and as we climbed out the kayaks and the crowds cheered we sprinted down the final straight and across the line claiming our finishers medals and enjoying some well earned food around the open fire.

Bodies were shattered, knees sore and ankles aching, but spirits were high, all 7 Abracs Rat Racers had completed the challenge and enjoyed some well earned cold beers and a warm shower, knowing they had completed a mammoth challenge and all for a great cause.

A spirited performance from Daniel Lloyd during last weekend’s third TCR China meeting of the season rewarded the Dongfeng Honda Racing team driver with pole position and a double podium on the Zhejiang International circuit (July 5-7).

Regrettably, despite a battling drive from the Yorkshireman in the opening contest, a subsequent ride-height failure on the #77 Honda Civic Type R TCR machine saw him excluded from the race results.

Heading into double-header 80kg heavier than the previous round in Shanghai, 27-year-old Lloyd took the lead in free practice before claiming the top spot in qualifying. Out-performing many of the TCR Asia competitors also out on track.

A superb opening race from the ABRACS and Mend-A-Hose-backed racer saw him defend hard under relentless pressure from the far-lighter competition to take P2 at the flag. Unfortunately, a subsequent ride-height examination failure meant that Lloyd was denied his podium place.

Determined to remain championship contention, Lloyd showed true Yorkshire grit in race two. Struggling his way through the field to take P2 once again, he was duly rewarded with his 5th podium visit of the season, from six races.

“It was a tough weekend;” explained Lloyd. “We were carrying a lot of success ballast from Shanghai. Effectively we were 80kg heavier.

“We did a really good job in qualifying to claim the TCR China pole, and 2nd overall;” he added. “Running on new tyres we managed to get a fast lap out of the Honda, but it was really hard to with so much weight on-board. All three of us in the team struggled. I was happy with my own performance overall, but Zhejiang is a very hilly circuit, and the weight just killed our pace.

“Failing the ride-height inspection after race 1 was a real shame. We saw from the damper sensor during the race that it had dropped below the limit. The team checked everything beforehand though and there was plenty of clearance. Unfortunately, it just meant that we lost the points from that race.

“I’m still very much in the fight for the championship title, as is the team. We’re confident for the next round at Ningbo.”

Lloyd and the Dongfeng Honda Racing Team head to the Ningbo International Circuit next, on September 13/15 for the penultimate meeting of the 2019 season.
