The adjustable collar allows for easy depth control, which is appreciated for tasks like cabinet and furniture installation.

However, some customers have experienced issues with the bit breaking, becoming loose, or wearing out faster than expected. A few users also found the bit to be a bit "wobbly" or off-center, which could affect accuracy. Overall, the tool seems useful for many DIY and woodworking projects, but the quality and durability may vary.

Disappointing
Would Not RecommendEither these are manufactured poorly or the design is at fault. I should have been tipped off because there were several packages in stock that had been bought, tape placed over the package and returned by someone else. I bought two of these and both have the same behavior. When operating a drill they have an extreme wobble that requires a lot of care to try to get the tool to line up with what you are drilling making it unusable for a precision job.
Flimsy and didn’t last 10 minutes

Design flaw makes this unusable in some situations
Would Not RecommendI bought both the larger and smaller of these self-centering bits. Turns out that the smaller one has a significant design flaw: the face of the housing is nearly blunt, such that it does not fit into the recess in the metal shelf parts. If the bit's housing doesn't sit in the hole in your hardware, it cannot function -- I ended up trying to 'guess' about the centering position, which is the exact thing I was trying to avoid. The face of the self-centering mechanism should be sized appropria...
Saves time but holes not perfectly centered
Would Not RecommendSaved me time but some holes came out a little off-center.

Wobbel
Would Not RecommendThe bit does not spin true so it is impossible to hold the guide in the hinge hole to drill. Poor, poor quality. I'm going to attempt to return it today, which may prove interesting.
Bit does not rotate as expected
Would Not RecommendThe retractable centering sleeve was out of center so that it wobbled slightly as the bit rotated. The result was when used to drill a centered pilot hole the wobble caused the aciual 5/64 bit to break.

Got 4 holes drilled!
Would Not RecommendDrilled 4 holes before the tip broke off. Mind you I am a woman with arthritis and the only other bit I’ve broken was a 1/8” drill bit I got at that freight store after drilling about 100 holes (maybe more, used on multiple occasions). I didn’t apply much pressure, to my DH’s dismay, and it still broke. I doubt he would have gotten one hole done before it broke! Even he was surprised it broke with how little pressure I applied! I did not bend or try to angle the bit while in the hole, it was go...
