What Customers Are Saying
The adjustable countersink drill bit offers versatility with 3 different bit sizes to accommodate a range of screw sizes. The adjustable collar allows for easy control of the countersink depth, creating a professional-looking finish. Many users found it to be a time-saver, allowing them to drill and countersink in a single step. However, the drill bit can be prone to breaking or wearing out prematurely, especially on harder materials. Some users also experienced issues with the bit becoming loose or wobbly during use, affecting accuracy. Careful use and consideration of the bit's limitations are advised.

Would Not RecommendThe bit does not spin true so it is impossible to hold the guide in the hinge hole to drill. Poor, poor quality. I'm going to attempt to return it today, which may prove interesting.
Bit does not rotate as expected
Would Not RecommendThe retractable centering sleeve was out of center so that it wobbled slightly as the bit rotated. The result was when used to drill a centered pilot hole the wobble caused the aciual 5/64 bit to break.

Got 4 holes drilled!
Would Not RecommendDrilled 4 holes before the tip broke off. Mind you I am a woman with arthritis and the only other bit I’ve broken was a 1/8” drill bit I got at that freight store after drilling about 100 holes (maybe more, used on multiple occasions). I didn’t apply much pressure, to my DH’s dismay, and it still broke. I doubt he would have gotten one hole done before it broke! Even he was surprised it broke with how little pressure I applied! I did not bend or try to angle the bit while in the hole, it was go...

Broke on 3rd hole
Would Not RecommendI drilled 2 holes in a board and on the third hole, the hex shank spun off the bit and made it worthless. I was very disappointed as I only bought one and had to drive 30 minutes one way to get a different brand. This delayed my project which was frustrating.

Poor quality
Would Not RecommendThis bit strips out where the hex shaft and bit attach and comes apart. The tip breaks easily as well. Other brands I have used don't do that.

All 7 pcs are defected. They will trembling when using. Your website can only upload picture, but I have one video on hand if you want to see it for reference. Also, it's not friendly for the return. Cannot get any label or barcode till over ten times try.
