What Customers Are Saying
The tri-flute design allows these bits to cut through wood quickly and efficiently, handling both hardwoods and softer lumber. Customers report the bits perform well for a variety of applications, from electrical wiring to plumbing. However, the smaller 1/4" shanks are more prone to breaking or stripping, especially with lower-powered drills. Some users also experienced premature dulling of the bits. Overall, these are a good choice for most woodworking tasks, but users should ensure they have sufficient drill power to support the aggressive cutting action.

absolute beast
Would RecommendRipped through the support boards of my house in seconds. highly recommend this. worked much better than spade bits
Irwin WAKE UP!
The bits with 3/8" shafts were perfect, the bits with the 1/4" shafts are junk.Don't you people read the reviews? Not only do the shafts break with a cordless but the screw tip at the end is too small for bits over 1/2" it strips out before it pulls the bit through the wood. How could you stop making a great tool ?

Where have you been all my life?
This bit is GREAT. You have to really hold onto your drill though as this will take you for a ride. Be careful if you have weak / small wrists like me. Im a guy and am beating myself up doing construction with small wrists. I can say that this bit is less dangerous than a large hole saw or a dull spade type bit. This rips through 2x4s and 2x6s so fast. I had to run electric/plumbing for kitchen, bath, dining area , office area and foyer area for inside and outside electric and plumbing. ...
Broke at quick change. They offer longer versions.
Would RecommendExtension + 1/2" drill on tree stumps. Loved that it was safer feeling than spade bits.
