Great bit, great price
Would RecommendMuch better than a paddle bit for around the same price. Was able to drill from basement to garage through 2 2”x8” floor joists and the Sheetrock with little to no effort.

Terrible
Would Not RecommendUsed this bit to bore out holes for maple floating shelves, by the third hole the bit was dull, burning, and the paint was peeling off. Absolute trash.
Not looking forward to using this
Would Not RecommendBought this when we bought the first 16", Given the complete piece of garbage that was, I don't have high hopes for his little cousin here.

Gets dull fast.
Would Not RecommendI tried this bit drilling Fir 2x4s. It worked all right for a while - maybe a dozen holes, but quickly it stopped cutting well. I switched to a regular (and cheaper) spade bit and was able to drill dozens of holes more quickly than with this bit. This was a waste of money which doesn't live up to the advertising hype.

Holes we're needed to securely fasten my tomato cage feet deep enough to hold in a wind. It worked with ease by allowing me to follow each tomato cage leg with the extended drill bit. I drilled each hole,then pushed the leg through the hole in the cardboard, then the next leg in successio...
