Disappointed in design

IRWIN bits used to be made in Austria
Would RecommendThe newer Chinese style bit doesn't cut crisp like their former bits made in Austria. They're just getting my rating of 'OK'.

Better than the same diameter bit in the 18x kit
Would RecommendI bought this to supplement the lower quality 2” bit from the 18 piece kit. While the kit’s bit is sufficient for occasional use, this bit knocked out 100 2” holes without any issues. It’s not as smooth as the more expensive waved variations but it gets the job done.

Made a clean circle but as it got deeper into the hole the wood was getting caught up in the teeth which caused the bit not to make much headway. Needs better teeth that don’t get bogged down.
