Rated 5 out of 5 by NS-PHL from Worked like a charm! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a long drill bit that would help me fish a low voltage wire through an exterior wall. The drill bit was easy to use and did not spin thanks to the hex base. It was a good size to allow me to pull a wire through the wall. It's pretty strong, has good flexibility. I took a little break to adjust my grip and check my drilling direction, and the drill was happily hanging from the bit, and was mostly horizontal. I wish there was a hole at the base to double up as a fishing tool, but that's just me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave from More than a little bit [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drill bit used to drill hole for lamp cord. It worked great and lamp works great. This lamp is a keep sake that was made from raw cedar that he had cut down as it had overgrown the area it was located. He had turned it on a lathe but ran the cord down the side of the lamp which caught on everything. The drill gave me the opportunity to drill the lamp and using a router, groove the base to allow the cord to exit the bottom of the lamp.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NCKelly from Drilling holes in a deck and for cable railing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this bit to drill through 6x6 posts for cable railing. It worked really well in all situations, great results. By the end of the project the neck of the bit was slightly warped. Likely because we were pushing too hard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BAW8840 from Extra long wood bit [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what was needed to complete the project we had. Easy to install and use. Was able to drill through the bolted together joists easily. Comes in a handy plastic box usable later for storing the bit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Howard from Running phone wire [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great to bore through wall and pull phone wire back through the hole you drilled. Small whole in woodbore allows you to hook wire to it to pull it through wall with little to know trouble. Works great.
