Why it was recalled

As a result of complaint investigations it was determined that batches of drill bits have a geometrical detail that does not correspond to the intended design. This could result in lower cutting performance.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
