Almost to long

Would Recommend

Used to drill trough a 4x4 cedar post and 2 2x8s, predrilled posts with 3/8 inch bit first, a 12" bit would have worked better, but I couldn't find one in stock at the time. The extra length moved me almost to far away when working on a ladder.

Good sturdy drill

Would Recommend

Liked that this drill has wider diameter than other long boring drills. Others have considerable wobble at this long length. This item was stable and allowed me to drill straight holes through multiple narrow timbers.

Long drill bit

Would Recommend

I used this drill bit to go through three 2x4’s that were part of a top plate in my home in order to install an electric wire for a new outlet. The bit was long enough to accomplish this and cut through easily. Very pleased.

Works great

Would Recommend

Never been disappointed by an Irwin project. I used it to bore some holes in a plank of pine I am using for hidden shelves. Needed extra depth and this did the trick! No issues!

Good deal, good quality

Would Recommend

Not much to say about a drill bit. I bought it to drill a hole through an exterior wall of my house to bring in cable from the outside. Made short work of the project. A+

drill bit

Would Recommend

Good bit however it tends to clog up a little and slows the bit down. Otherwise, it did the job.
