What Customers Are Saying
The product features a tri-flute design that allows for efficient and quick drilling through various types of wood. Many users praise its speed and ability to create clean, straight holes. However, some report issues with durability, especially with the smaller 1/4-inch shanks, noting the bits can dull or break prematurely. There are also concerns about potential splintering or damage on the backside of the wood due to the aggressive cutting action. Overall, the product seems suitable for many woodworking tasks, but users should pair it with a powerful drill to get the best results, and the 3/8-inch shank versions are preferred for more demanding applications.

Water Oak
Would RecommendI bought this to anchor 14” long 7/8” diameter bolts into a solid love water oak tree... not only did it work amazing, but it didn’t clog or anything! Made boring through solid wood a breeze. All you really have to do is hang on to the drill and it does the rest quick.

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.
