Typical high Irwin quality
Would RecommendA good quality extra long spade bit is vital to my job as an electrician. I always try to get Irwin bits. They have a long life and perform great. Lowes also has very competitive prices for these bits.

Got me through in a pinch
Would RecommendI needed to drill through floor joists over hard ceiling. This was just long enough to get through the second floor joist. Then I could drill from the other side reaching through the can lighting. Seems like a quality product so far.
