Blind broaching isn't terribly useful for what we do, you'd need to retain the part axially in some other operation.
We have a full set of push broaches, and use them for hundreds of holes a year without issue.
For frc, I see the only real advantage of rotary broaches being the ability to run them on a cnc mill for the teams that have an in house machine.
