Great product. Make sure you have a powerful drill to use with this product.

The bit itself is good quality but it doesn’t fit a standard drill chuck. This bit isn’t offered at a smaller shank size. Please ensure your drill can handle the larger shank size before buying.

Massive, beautifully made. Great for drilling straight, accurate, deep holes.

I didn’t purchase this auger bit for augering wood. I bought it to really challenge it and used it to drill through frozen soil to place survey markers. I was able to drill 45 – 16″ holes in solid frozen ground before the bit slowed down and needed sharpening. I’d say that was a true test of the quality of this bit. Great Job Makita!

worked better than expectations

Bit worked as expected. Torn right into the wood and made the job so much easier! The right bit for the right job can change everything! Spend the couple bucks and get the right tools! Would recommend!

This is a very good quality auger which remains sharp even if you catch the blade on metal brackets while using it.We recently built a custom porch using real cedar tree logs for the support posts. I didn’t want the top brackets that carry the beams to be exposed, so I embedded them into the end of the logs. Since the brackets were pre-drilled for 5/8” bolts, I had to carefully measure and mark the outside of the log and then drill it through with a 12” long ¼” pilot drill. Once I had the pilot hole drilled, I then went through the log with this auger and it doesn’t ‘wander’ that much and you tend to get a true hole from it. I went to 11/16th since I wanted the 5/8” bolt to have an easier fit in the hole.What I found really impressive was how it doesn’t dull if you accidentally hit metal with it while using it. Once the tree log support posts were set in place, I then dropped the 4x beams into the top brackets and through drilled them. Inevitably you don’t hit the ‘blind’ hole perfectly, and when the drill encountered the edge of the hole on the 3/16” thick metal bracket on the opposite side of the beam, it actually shaved the metal on the edge of the pre-drilled bracket bolt hole and kept on going. I drilled 20 holes through the logs and 15 bolt holes through the beams and it was still as sharp at the end of the job as it was at the beginning.While the cedar logs were dry and acclimated to the site, the 4x roof beams were fresh wood and much damper. Even working with damp, fresh wood, the auger was sharp enough to give clean holes that didn’t tear the fibers of the wood beams.When you are done, the auger comes in handy plastic storage tube.

Need the bit to drill through railroad ties to drive 7/16″ re-bar into the ground. Worked as expected. Maybe should have bought the 1/2″ bit since the drill bit would bend a little as it drilled, but it did the job.

As good an auger bit as i have ever purchased. No surprise as it is a Makita. The surprise was in-stock and next day delivery at no extra charge!
