Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The drill bit is described as sharp, durable, and effective for quickly and cleanly drilling holes through various types of wood, including hardwoods and old, rough-cut lumber. It was reported to outperform traditional spade bits. However, some users experienced issues with the bit pulling the drill forward too aggressively or causing excessive tear-out in certain materials. A small number of users also noted it did not perform well when drilling into live trees or encountered nails. Overall, the drill bit is well-suited for most common woodworking applications, but users should exercise caution and control when using it, especially in challenging materials.

I have drilled several holes and this is one of the best bits I’ve ever used. The holes are straight and smooth and the speed is perfect. I would recommend getting this bit in all sizes. Dave Pettit

Quick!
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.
