Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The product is a high-performing and versatile woodworking drill bit that can quickly and cleanly drill holes through various types of wood, including hardwoods and old, rough-cut lumber. Many customers praised its sharp, aggressive cutting ability, which allows it to "chew through" the material with minimal effort. However, some caution that its aggressive nature requires careful control, as it can pull the drill forward and potentially cause issues if used improperly or in certain applications. A small number of users also reported that the bit dulled or burned up more quickly than expected, especially when used on very hard woods. Overall, the consensus is that the drill bit is an excellent choice for tasks like boring holes for electrical wiring, installing landscape timbers, and creating pilot holes for other projects, though users should take care when operating it.

Would RecommendI bought this to drill precise holes through pergola posts to mount onto metal brackets. It drilled straight and true although it didn't eject shavings on its own very efficiently.

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.
