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 Not Recommend

The 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 Recommend

Drilled 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.
