I’m a cabinet maker and make all the doors myself, so I rely on this tool for the soft close hinges I use... Been using them for several years from Lowe’s...

Great bit

Would Recommend

So after using this to bore 15 holes i noticed that it wasn't cutting that well and then I realized I had cut through 15 nails. Given that I was cutting nails I think this is a great bit, when I replaced the one I wore out on nails it cuts fast clean holes.

Cabinet Door Hinge Installation

Would Recommend

Great tool for installing hinges on a new cabinet door. If you drill until the bit is flush with the wood, then you are at the perfect depth.

Drill bit

Made it extremely easy to mount my new door hinge (Item #: 93032 | Model #: P5107-14) for a cabinet. I would recommend if you are trying to create the perfect hole for the hinge above.
