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.

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.
Verified Purchaser
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.
