Was recommended this type of product by a hinge company, National/Stanley. It does do the job nicely, but of course you need to match the diameter of the end with the hinge hole, and the fit should be snug, not loose. You also need to drill straight in, level or plumb. This product can’t drill the hole straight unless you do. What is does do is to ensure that the hole you drill will be centered in the hinge hole.I would like a 4-piece set with another hinge bit one size larger to fit the holes in an 8″ hinge, which accommodates 5/16″ lag screws. The largest one in this set, the 9/16″ still leaves a little wiggle room in the hole.

Worked like a champ. Changed hinges and new ones didn’t match. Using these allowed for a perfect alignment.

They worked as I expected, was able to straighten 4 doors that had misinstalled hinges. They don’t bind on the frame anymore

Satisfied my needs.The small bit wobbles and I question how long it may last before breaking. I was drawn to the multiple sizes. If you want a long lasting centering bits and plan to use many times I would recommend investing in higher quality bits.

This set contains 3 special drill bits design to pre-drill holes for screws to attach hinges to the doors. Sizes are 5/64, 7/64 and 9/64″. They are made entirely of metal. Hexagonal shank ensures good grip in a drill vise. It’s standard 1/4″ size enables quick fixing in the drill. Drill bit is covered with a metal shell which aids self centering. There is no need to mark spots for holes. Just put hinge in place and put the tip of the drill against the hole for the screw, start drilling. As those are not irreplaceable, they do speed up the process and make your job easier.I found them somehow wobbly but it did not affect functionality. I would recommend it to those who often mount hinges or other metal or plastic hardware.

About $10 cheaper than the similar Bosch product, chrome finish rather than black. The springs in this set sit on the edge of the base and can catch in the threads when screwing the top on, causing the top part to become misaligned. With some care, this problem can be avoided. The springs in the Bosch version version seat inside the base and so don’t interfere with the threads. Also the replaceable bits in this set are closer to standard drill bits in length, while the Bosch drill bits are shorted than normal. That may be to allow access to smaller spaces. Despite the spring issue, the price difference still makes this set a good deal.
