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.

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.

Would RecommendYour employee recommended the Slash 4 Jex quick connect to be combined with the Stinger 1_SLASH_2 to drill holes in my heavy wardrobe cardboard weed-guard located six inches below the soil my new raised garden. 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.

Great bit but it can walk if not careful
Would RecommendGreat fast cutting low wrist twist on fast grabs, however the point where a speedbore would have a threaded wedge the point is ver minuscule and unless you have good downward pressure the bit will walk. I recommend using on faster speeds and moderate pressure
