Would RecommendWas drilling out some 5" deep holes into a slab of hard maple and was having some issues with some other drill bits I had. Once I plugged this one in, start cranking through the wood with no problems. Love that it also a power bit that I can use with my impact driver as well if needed.

Drill bit. Heavy duty. Pricey but will hold up.

Drill bits Stinger brand.
Would RecommendHeavy duty drill bits. Used same for a few years. But they do get dull like everything. Works well. Again they are pricey but for most part last a long time.

Bye-Bye Flat Blades
Would RecommendMy old flat blade had visible dulling on it, so I almost bought another one, and then saw these with their claim for faster drilling. Oh my, this style sure is faster! And it also allowed be to bore the 2x4s out a little so the rebar would fit better.

Would Not RecommendBroke the first time using it. I drilled through two studs and then it broke immediately.

Did the trick
Would RecommendVery aggressive bit. Would not recommend if you are doing some sort of wooding where blowout may be a problem. Other than that it did the trick. I used this to drill holes in a 2x8 that I used to make a floating shelf. It had no problem drilling a 6 inch hole the depth of the board.
Slow drilling
Made a clean hole but drilled to slow

Watch for nails
Worked great until I hit a nail, then was almost worthless.
