Rated 1 out of 5 by from Inconsistent Got this with a series of other sized auger bits. Greatly disappointed. When drilling wood studs a nail or screw strike is inevitable. Hit one nail and the worm was bent and biting edge of auger received a chip. It was small but enough to render the bit unusable. I’m not sure if this is a batch or quality control issue. Either way I am left not happy and surprised as I have had great experiences with other southwire tools.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleasantly Surprised! I use Southwire handtools frequently, everyday add a matter of fact. I never really thought of Southwire in the drill bit sector. I wish I had earlier. I was a little skeptical to try them out but I was shocked. I tested the bit in a pressure treated 6x6, just for giggles. It absolutely plowed through it with a cordless drill! I can't wait until I need to bore through something! I've got just the tool for the job!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PERFECT BIT THIS IS MY GO TO BIT FOR ROMEX JOBS. GOOD SIZE FOR RUNNING MULTIPLE CABLES THROUGH THE SAME HOLE. BIT STAYS SHARP FOR EXTENDED USE. GOOD LENGTH FOR BORING THROUGH MULTIPLE STUDS AND SILL HEADERS. EVERY ELECTRICIAN NEEDS A BIT LIKE THIS!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made bit! This bit cuts quickly, saving me time on the installations that can be better spent actually running wire.....and the extra reach is a plus, too. I’ll be looking for more of these in different sizes for future jobs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strong and Sturdy This bit is SO strong and sturdy. It holds up to any match. Easy to install on your drill and even easier to take off. This bad boy is LARGE and in charge. This will get your job done quickly and effortlessly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great drill bit, did what I needed it to do! High quality bit that worked wonderfully, strong enough to use with an impact wrench battery powered 18V. Hardened cutting edges require less re-sharpening. Made short work of drilling holes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good for rough ins Good bit. there was a bur on the tip but the first hole knocked it off. Better to use a bigger drill. Small drills will get by for a few holes. Its nicely packaged and oiled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Drill Bit This auger bit makes clean, fast cuts. Must use with a drill handle for safety and proper control. Excellent addition to my drill bit collection--it just works.
