What Customers Are Saying
This high-quality drill bit effectively drills through tough materials like hardwood and concrete with minimal effort. The extended length allows users to reach areas that would be inaccessible with a standard bit, making it useful for running wires and cables. Customers consistently praise the bit's sharpness, durability, and ability to maintain its edge even after extensive use. It drills clean, precise holes without excessive vibration or binding. While a few customers experienced issues, the majority of reviews are highly positive, considering this an excellent choice for a wide range of projects requiring extended reach and power.

Does the job!
Would RecommendI have several Irwin products and have been quite happy with them...this long spade bit was no different as it did exactly what I needed, drilled holes through stacked landscape timbers so I could drive rebar through them.
