Only tried one so far (3/8″), held tight. Have had problems in the past with the set screw stripping, but no prob with this. It would be nice if HD stated in the specs the sizes that are included: 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”,3/8”, 7/16”, 1/2”.

Such a simple item, but it makes all the difference when you need to drill the perfect depth holes. no assembly required, no batteries needed and the price is right. Make sure you have a set in your tool box.

It makes the drill bit to vibrates too much, so it has to used at a very kiw RPM

Aiken, SC Home depot store so helpful. Didn’t have in stock but ordered and shipped quickly and was able to pick up at store.

I like them. Even with a bench top drill press. I’ve had one and their drill stops seem to be garbage. For the money, can’t beat these. I was careful about how much I tightened the set screw. I’m not sure how much torque before it strips out. I did have it come loose and then tightened it more which seemed to be enough. And if I had to buy a new set because I stripped a set screw out, I would. Checking to ensure the set screw is snug isn’t an issue when you want to drill a hole to a specific depth. That’s why we want them, right? Normally I don’t give 5 stars but this set is worth replacing. With my cordless drill, I drilled the depth holes that I wanted.
