What Customers Are Saying

The drill bit is of high quality and performs well, cutting through materials like steel and aluminum with ease and leaving clean holes. Many customers found the size to be suitable for their specific needs. However, some reported issues with the product description, stating the advertised shank size did not match the actual size, which caused compatibility problems. A few customers also felt the bit was priced higher than expected, though acknowledged quality tools often come at a higher cost.

Not a 3/8 shank

Would Not Recommend

I ordered this specifically because the item is advertised as reducing to a 3/8 shank. The item I received (same item number as the picture but slightly different packaging) has a 1/2 shank. I don't know if Dewalt changed their product or if Lowe's sells multiple items with the same item number (unlikely, since this is the only one listed on their site), but this change needs to be reflected in the description

misrepresentation

bought a 9/16 drill bit in the store. It did not fit my driver. Look up 9/16 drill bit online and found this with same item number as the one I bought. Unless there is a error on signage, the drill bit did not have a 3/8" shank.

DOES THE JOB

Would Recommend

People, it's a drill bit. It is sharp, carries the Dewalt name so hopefully it is tempered well and will hold a cutting edge. Pricey, but quality tools always are. No complaints.

Great for drilling and reaming oarlock bushings...

Would Recommend

OEM oarlock bushings for a 55-year old Grumman Sportboat, which is still manufactured in Marathon, NY, are now made of white UHMW plastic. Instructions by phone on installation were great! After removing the original parts and pressing the new bushings into the oarlocks, I wound up using this bit to enlarge the opening for the oar pins (Must've been more metal in oarlocks those years ago.) along with a Kobalt 10" round file, also purchased this day. Exercise care with larger bits, as the large...

Don't buy to drill metal.

Would Not Recommend

Took forever to drill through both sides of the metal part of my door. Plus its extremely overpriced for such low performance.

Good Product, a tad pricey

Would Recommend

Needed this specific size for a specific job. Worked very well. Was a little pricey for a single drill bit.

Only 9/16 bit that necks down to normal 3/8 drill

Would Recommend

Cuts great in wood and metal. Only 9/16"bit at several stores that didn't need 1/2" drill (which none of them sell!)
