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 own a few of these in different diameters and let me tell you they are awesome! I use em when ever I have to route wiring through studs. The small corkscrew on the tip is the trick. It grabs ahold of the wood and pulls the bit into the material and just chews right through. You definitely gotta pay attention to what you’re doing and have a good, firm grip on the drill because they can and will catch the material and twist your wrist around. They’re not for every wood boring job out there but f...
The Bit that Couldn't
Would Not RecommendBought this Irwin 1 1/4" wood bit for making electrical cable passages through my 2x6 pine studded walls. Lasted 4 1/2 holes and wouldn't go any further, no matter which of my 3 HD drills I tried. Returned, looking for a better performer...

Good bit, but take it slow
does a good job of boring , but the screw tip tends to pull the bit into the wood too quickly causing the drill to stall

Great product and lasts a long time
Would RecommendThis is a great product. It has a starter auger, so it basically pulls the bit through the wood for you. You don’t have to apply any pressure and drill kickback is nonexistent. I love it.

My goto bits for large boring projects.
Would RecommendThese are great for my purposes (boring pilot holes through landscaping timbers). But when I put them on my 1/2" drill with an extension piece they just run right through 8"pieces with little trouble at all. They have a pilot screw on the tip that engages the wood and proceeds to guide the bit through the wood. Very little effort is needed to bore the holes. And because they have the small sharp cutters on the outside edge of the bit, the hole is clean cut.

Quick Hole Cutting
Would RecommendI got this to drill holes into hackberry tree stumps to get rid of them. Wow, does this bit drill a hole, it pulls itself in and throws the chips out.

Great Bit
Would RecommendI use this 5/8" bit on exotic hard woods and I found that it was great. I have added an extension to get this bit through 5 1/2 inches. It is holding its edge and still cutting well
