### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great value auger bit
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2020*

It took an adequately powered drill of course, but I used this bit to put several holes through 10" dock pilings with ease.  It doesn't always evacuate the hole that well, so I'd advise being careful to back it out every so often while drilling; that is far easier than it coming to a sudden halt and twisting your wrists / arms.  If you keep the hole free of debris though it makes great progress through a variety of woods I've used it on.  The starter screw on the front makes it very easy to get a hole started rather than have it walk all over your material.It comes in a nice reusable storage tube; the two plastic ends screw together so you can place it back in the tube when done.

    Special use
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2021*

Works very well for cable ports into just about any wall or floor situation. Bit is sharp and the bit is made very well. I used it for a specialized install and it worked as intended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Works well with larger electric drill motors
  

*by B***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2019*

I bored a 3/4" hole up through several layers of 2x4s and flooring to pull a Cat6 cable.  Cut very well.  I wouldn't recommend using a manual brace as it will take you a lot of effort and time.  Likewise, don't try a cordless drill motor as this bit takes a lot of torque.  Your drill motor also should have a second handle.  Use a slower cutting speed, around 500 rpm.  As for the manufacturer's claim that it will cut through nails, I'd be surprised it it did that and also retained its sharpness.  It's for wood and it takes a fair amount of power to drive it.That said, I recommend the bit.
