What Customers Are Saying

The drill bit is generally considered a high-quality and effective tool for various woodworking tasks. Many users praised its ability to quickly and cleanly drill through thick, dense lumber. The bit was also noted for staying sharp even after extensive use and being well-constructed with minimal wobble or flex. However, some users found the bit dulled relatively quickly, especially when drilling harder woods. A few customers also received defective bits that were warped or of poor quality.

Buy the best.

Would Recommend

I am very pleased with this bit. I had multiple holes to drill in some 4x4 boards and it had no problem going zippy through them. Still sharp even after drilling a zillion holes. Nice

Does the job

I used the bit to drill thru old 6 x 6 landscape timbers. I had bought a spiral bit, but it kept stopping and I was never able to geo more than an inch. This bit goes thru fairly well as long as you keep bringing it back up for releasing the cuttings.
