What you should know about this drill bit.
This drill bit made my light duty drill smoke when I tried to drill a hole in a stump. It really needs a heavy drill drill for best results.

Not good for hard/dense wood.
Would Not RecommendThe bit almost broke my wrist. It bites very well, but there is nothing on the packaging the warns that it is probably only good for soft woods. The self-driving/self-drawing screw grabs tight, but the blade head is not sharp enough to cut at the rate of pull into the wood. It immediately locked up the drill head and spun the grip.

Solid bit!
Would RecommendGreat design for drilling a tunnel under your sidewalk for irrigation tubing and landscape lighting wire! Team this bit with three (3) 12" long 1/4" Edwin socket extenders and you can drill a 36" long tunnel. Then, using a dead blow hammer, drive a 1 1/2" pvc pipe through the tunnel.

Cuts through wood like butter
Would RecommendIt is a great bit that plows through wood. My ONLY complaint, the numbers to tell what bit it is always quickly wear off. Also would be great if they sold a storage case to make this a non issue

Nice bit
Cuts fast, less kickback on breakthrough than most. Just watch for nails, it's not really made to deal with them.

Dull on arrival
Would Not RecommendThe cutting edges looked suspect out of the package. But chucked it up and gave it a try. First go with my bit brace resulted in massive tear out on the entry side. And once the snail stopped advancing the bit all cutting stopped, even with a lot of pressure. Tried to finish the hole from the opposite side of the 2x6. Same result. So I figured Id give it a spin in the cordless drill. Not much difference. Just faster and the bit was able to wear away enough wood to complete the hole. Both borings...
