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.

Drill on

The bit got the job done of drilling holes for 1/2" lags. As with most bits , they are all made overseas and way overpriced.

I have 2.25 acres in the heart of Jonesborough, Tenn... the OLDEST TOWN ON NATIONAL RTEGISTER. I have a culvert on part and we have been putting landscape timbers and crossties around it to beautify it more. I used the drill bit to drill through and drive rebar from LOWE'S to anchor them. Then we plant flowers, etc. from LOWE's. BEAUTIFUL 4 blocks from our courthouse square.;

Great wood bit

Would Recommend

This extra long wood bit was exactly what I needed to drill a hole in an outside wall in order to run a cable wire through. The hole drilled by the bit was smooth and easily was able to run the wire through. Great product.

Nice Tool To Have In Your Tool Box

Would Recommend

Having an extended-length drill bit comes in handy. Yes, it's a little expensive, but when you need it nothing else will do.
