However, some users experienced issues such as the bit pulling the drill forward too aggressively or causing tear-out in certain materials. A few also reported the bit burning out or getting stuck. Overall, the drill bit is considered a great tool for most woodworking applications, but users should exercise caution, especially when drilling in harder woods or encountering obstacles.

Would RecommendI was not sure how this bit would do with my 1.5 amp battery on my cordless drill, but I was suprised at how easy the 5/8” bit chewed through the wood with a full battery. Drill did eventually end up getting hot, so I switched to the plug in drill and had no issues. Bit stayed sharp boring about 50 holes through 4x4 treated lumber.

Seedling auger
Would RecommendI had heard using a boring bit in a battery operated drill would be a fast and efficient way to plant seedling Larch trees.

Won't Buy Again!
Would Not RecommendI have used these bits for years,mostly 7/8" and 1" . They were great when they made them with the 3/8" shank, but the 1/4" shank just shear off. I went through 3 of the 1/4" shank 1" bits yesterday alone! And I am drilling with an 18volt DeWalt cordless drill. I used to use the 3/ 8" shank bits in my right angle drill for weeks and never broke 1 ! I am a residential electrician and will not be buying again until you start making them with the 3/8" shank again.

I took drill bit back.
Would RecommendI took drill bit back, because I found two that I already had. I had to give this a rating because the not so user friendly site.
