• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

I have to re run all the electrical in the shop for the renovation. I was dreading having to drill holes through framing as that has always sucked in the past.
Because I packed up all my tools I was ‘forced’ to pick up new spade bits.
These suckers are the absolute best. The lead screw pulls the bit through the wood with no pressure required.
Drilling through 3-ply laminate beam is about a 20 second job.
Highly recommend these bits.
