What happens here

A significant advantage of the i-carb countersink is that its carbide inserts are double-sided. This means that once one cutting edge becomes dull or worn, the user can simply index (rotate) the insert 180 degrees to expose a fresh, sharp cutting edge. Furthermore, when both sides are eventually worn, replacement inserts are readily available for purchase. This extends the lifespan of the tool considerably, making it a cost-effective choice for DIYers who frequently perform countersinking tasks.

Goal: Highlight the advantages of the double-sided and replaceable carbide inserts.

What they say

Hide

carbide insert, so once you wear it out, you've got to discard the bit. These are double-sided, so once you wear it out, you index it 180 degrees and you have a fresh cutting edge. You can also buy replacement inserts for it, and we have a through-hardened steel body on the part, so this is going to last a lifetime, and you just have to replace your inserts and your drills. You're good to go for as long as you want.
