Great Product!!! Great Price!!!

62; Although the bit is nominally 1234; long, it would be more correct to describe it as 2 3/434; long plus a 9 1/4 shank. Other long drill bits from other manufacturers that I've purchased have been about 934; of bit plus 334; of shank 62; To drill a 634; deep hole, with a drill with 934; of spiral grooves, you should pull the drill out to clear the spirals at least once (in order to minimize the potential of jamming, especially in hard or damp wood). If a long skinny drill (like this one) jams, it will almost certainly snap. But with the Irwin 62116 , you would have to clear deep holes much more frequently, every 234; or so, and doing so would be essential, not just 34;good technique34;. 62; If you simply need to drill a less than 334; deep hole at a distance -- for example, drilling through the short side of a soft pine 2x4 to run cable -- then the Irwin 62116 bit should work fine. 62; The Irwin 62116 bit did NOT come in a plastic sleeve, as have other long bits from other manufacturers that I have purchased. Since I may only use such a drill once every 5 years, it is nice to have a protective plastic sleeve. A quick spray with WD-40 will protect such a drill from rust when you put it away in your plastic sleeve. 62; Click on ???Stoney??? just below the product title to see my other reviews.

Exactly as described.

Did everything I needed. Quality drill bit.

Good

I needed to widen 4 7/1634; holes through 1/834; steel. The bit accomplished this, though I don't know if it would have done many more. They last hole took a little time, but it did what I need it to do, so that's worth four stars to me. I also used a drill press as I can't imagine doing this with a hand drill (I think that would be difficult with most any bit).

Great bits!! Did exactly what we needed.

good bit

I would've given this 5 stars but it's advertised as a five pack but you only receive one bit. Otherwise it's a great bit. Love jobber bits for drilling hard metal.

works very nice

Good bit

Hard to find these long bits in the smaller sizes, but Irwin has them. They're great for hard to reach places or deep pilot holes for long screws. The sizes are few mils less than they should be, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm using them on wood. They can flex if too much pressure is applied so I don't know if they would work well for drilling steel, but as always, patience and light pressure will get the job done, if somewhat slowly.

Irwin quality and on time.

good and sharp

No comment.

Excellent penetration

good quality drill bit...will buy again soon.

Used one for drilling solar mounting holes through an asphalt shingle roof. Bit was pretty will shot after 21 holes. Something about drilling through hard granular roofing.

drills good

When I ordered this product, the label said 11/1634; pack of 3. When I received the product it only came with one, so I contact the seller about this. They said the pack of the was labeled incorrectly and was supposed to be only one drill bit. They issued a full refund for their mistake, letting me keep the one I already received. I would say this is great customer service! The product I received is the 11/1634; drill bit. i am actually impressed with the quality of this bit. I to drill some holes in some .25034; square tubing, and it did it with a breeze with a pilot hole. Didn't dull after multiple holes drilled.
