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.

Great bit

Would Recommend

It’s very sturdy and the length is great. A lot of bits this long are very sloppy and wobble but this one is solid all the way

Great bit

Would Recommend

I needed a longer bit to drill through both sides of an 8 in box and it worked well; wish they had something between 6" and 16" but those were the choices. You need to be careful since the long bit can easily get on the wrong angle when drilling with just a little tilt with the drill.
