Great Bit - Even on Oak
Would RecommendWorked well for holes on 3/4 inch oak. Pretty dull afterwards, but cut cleanly without chipping. Great non-carbide bit for a decent price.

Worked as described
Would RecommendUsed for drilling holes in 1x2x10s for Halloween gate. Chewed through the wood like a champ. Would recommend for small projects as didn't go any deeper than a 1x2

Needs improvement
Would RecommendIt would be nice if this bit had a stepped shank instead of one size. It would also be nice if the center point was just a bit longer, maybe 1/3rd longer. The price was fair and the bit is pretty solid. It could just use a couple tweaks to make it 5*.

Works perfect
Would RecommendThe real test will come in November when I have 2000+ to drill. However, it’s working perfectly for its current job at hand.
