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.

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
