Owl Tools Extra Long 12inches Brad Point Wood Drill Bit Set (12 Pack with Storage Sleeve) Carpenters Quality - Drill Splinter-Free Perfectly Round Holes in All Types of Wood

I love these longer drill bits. Drills through solid wood block with ease. Much cheaper in cost than anything I could find in the local hardware store. So far very sharp and durable. Fits my Bauer cordless drill with no problem. A good investment.

I bought another brand and couldn't believe how poorly they worked - the edges seemed sharp but they wouldn't bite into pine at all. I had to apply excessive force, and they had a lot of runout. I returned them and got these. These work well - they have a small amount of runout (inevitable, I guess, in bits this long), but they work well and produce nice clean holes. I've only used them in softwoods, but so far, so good. Another small advantage is that they come with a plastic pouch - a small but convenient feature. Good value.

The package arrived with obvious signs of use of one of the bits, 1/4", of course that was the bit I needed. Since I was anxious to start my project I used that same 1/4" bit, 12 " long, and drilled about 50 holes in 3 inch thick redwood, then the hole goes to 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. The bit worked very well and by the end of the project started to go dull and split the wood at the exit, which it did not do in the beginning of the project. Overall it is a durable brad point bit that worked well for soft wood. It is made in China. For a garden project it was perfect and the price was reasonable. I did not try it on hardwood, but it did well on the PVC which is hard. One star deducted for one used bit out of 12.

Overall very happy with quality, price, and Amazons fast shipping. This Brad Point Bit set is a great value , it helped me complete a project with excellent accuarcy . It bored through 7" of Dried Red Oak boards with out an issue

Had these about a year or two. Don’t use often but when you need them… Really nice set! Even the thin ones go right in and through thick pieces accurately. Nice to own a long set of sharp drill bits. Should stay sharp.

I got these for an outdoor gate project. I needed a specific 3/8” bit that was a little longer to work in a dowel jig I have. That specific bit has worked wonderfully in all my test case holes. I looked at my local big box store and one drill bit was a good portion of what this whole set cost. I now have a whole lineup of brad point bits for future projects for the same price as one at my local big box store. I can’t be more pleased at my purchase.

To be fair, these drills work… they make holes. But the steel is soft and after the very first hole (in a 4in soft wood fence post) I had to spend time straightening the drill. If you only need long drills like this occasionally, sure, save some money. But if you believe that your tools should fill you with pride, yadda yadda, but something else.

I don't use them a lot but when I have they work just like they're supposed to. Nice brad point, drill well.

Product as described

I purchased these bits to pre-drill some pilot holes deep enough to facilitate the driving of some 4 1/2 inch wood screws into some chairs that I was attempting to repair. As seen in the attached photos not only did the bits become deformed but one broke off in the work piece after the second attempt at using it. What I find particularly disturbing is that I even started the process with a shorter bit to "pre-pilot" the holes and that the chairs themselves are made of pine which is not all that dense/hard of a wood species. Definitely would not recommend.
