What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit for exceptional speed and clean hole quality in wood, with many describing it as a game-changer compared to traditional paddle bits and flat blades. Reviewers highlight its performance through hardwoods like oak and maple, even thick lumber, with minimal effort. Most commend its robust construction and durability across multiple projects. However, some report the bit dulls quickly on abrasive materials, tree stumps, or when hitting nails and knots, with a few noting bending or breaking under demanding conditions. Despite these context-dependent limitations, the majority express strong satisfaction and intent to repurchase.

Durable
Would RecommendGreat. Used it to drill holes into a stump so I could put some stump removal powder in it to rot and burn. The bit is very durable, but you have to be patient when drilling. I definitely needed an impact driver for my application, and you have to let the driver cool regularly. This bit, due to the hole size (1.5”), is very taxing on the driver. But after 16 holes in 3 hardwood stumps it still looks like it has just a little wear on it. Would buy again.

Drill bit
Would RecommendThis bit did the job this weekend, I’m using it for electrical work for drilling to run wire in wood studs, didn’t hit any nails so I can’t comment on that how it would handle it. I used other brands but this brand is what I’ll be using from now on. I also use hole saws from same company, they all seem to hold up well.

Great drill bit to use with a normal drill chuck
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 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.
