What Customers Are Saying
This high-quality drill bit effectively drills through tough materials like hardwood, pressure-treated lumber, and concrete with minimal effort. The extended length allows users to reach areas that would be inaccessible with a standard drill bit. Customers praise the bit's sharpness, durability, and ease of control, noting it maintains its edge and does not vibrate or bounce during use. While a few experienced issues with the bit getting stuck or dulling prematurely, the majority of reviews are very positive, describing the tool as reliable and versatile for a wide range of projects.

Would Recommendperfect long drill bit for running TV cable thru walls and floors, sticks up far enough to spot in the attic

Poor quality metal
Would Not RecommendAfter one use it became dull. It is garbage and not a tool.
Try another supplier
Would Not RecommendThe head of the bit does not have v shaped edges which, it turns out, makes a significant difference in how well the bit cuts into the wood. It takes a significant amount of pressure to cut through even a 2x4.

Disappointing
Would Not RecommendDrilled the first hole in a stump like cutting butter about 10” deep. Took a lot of power. I used a hammer drill and did not force bit. Bit did not get hot. On the second hole bit quit biting at 8”. Bit was dull. I do not feel that I abused bit. I did not have the hammer function turned on, only the drilling function. Bit would not bite to even start another hole.
