There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This went through siding well and pretty darn thick plywood which was on top of basement exterior joist, even works well at very slow speed.
SAFETY WARNING: If you've never used a spade this large (or any big bit), be VERY careful, this can and will break your hand if it catches unexpectedly - which happens all the time. I would recommend using your battery powered drill/driver if you have one with this. If you insist on using full power driver, I highly recommend you drill with your palm and thumb on the left side of the drill, so if it catches you drop the drill and save your hand. This is not the fault of the big, just the nature of drilling with a large bit in general.
Overall, this went quickly through wood and seems very durable. Very exterior walls, this is will not go all the way through, you should get an very long narrow bit for a pilot hole and then go in as deep as you can from each end.``
(Hint, to further reduce the pull-in aggressiveness, pre-drill a small started hole so that the center of the spade bit doesn't want to pull even harder into the wood. It gives you good control of how fast you go down. But don't pre-drill a big hole, otherwise the spade bit will wander all over the place.)
I searched the local hardware stores but they all wanted close to 10 dollars for a single bit. Then o found this bit for about 1/3 that price and was so happy. It arrived the very next day and was from a brand I actually recognized and love. It worked perfectly so still the four holes that I needed quickly and effectively. By that night I had all the holes drilled, the bed raises and the boxes put in their new home.
I could not be happier about this purchase. Plus now I have a larger spade bit so I am searching for new things to drill out.
