This bit does the job. Great bit to have in my toolbag

Cuts through the hole well. Once the bit starts hang on. Only proplem is when the centre auger screw exits the cut you have to push the bit through. This causes exit to splinter and makes it hard to pull the bit back through the hole.

As expected Milwaukee does a great job with their tools. It did exactly what I expected it to do without fail.

Works as described. I like that the cutting edge can be changed when damaged

Used for drilling holes for radiant heat in the joists of a 100 year old house. Mostly rough 2×7 but many were backed up with various lumber. This drill is the best that I have found for this purpose. It is short enough to get in between the joists and pulls itself through using an 18 volt drill on low range. Results were excellent with single joists. The stacked ones required backing out in reverse to clear the clips.I hit one spike that damaged the cutting edge but a quick blade change brought it back to new condition.In short, it works great and is repairable.

Does what it’s supposed to do… Just watch out for nails.

The switchblade is a must for electrical work. The ease of changing the blade after I’ve hit nails is great it extends the life of the bit. Store 1939 had this one on their shelf, now they don’t, now they have a bit that I can’t change the blade in, this isn’t any good for my use I drill too many holes and I need a replaceable blade. Now I have to order it from you on line. I can’t just go in the store and get one off the shelf like I used to. You need to get this bit model 48-25-5120 and the replacement blades back on the shelf!!

This bit makes it easy to install a new cutter blade once the existing blade gets dull or is damaged by a nail. Saves Time and Money.

This product does the job for what we need it to do, i.e., drilling holes in 3/4″ plywood underflooring to stick plumbing pipes through….

I love this tool, started at an angle and it cut, straight on it cut, cleaned up the edge of the hole, made the hole wider where I needed it. Solid and efficient.

While re-wiring a 100 year old building, I needed to bore a number of holes in 2″ thick floor joists and studs. The self feeding nature of this bit made it very easy compared to the effort I was expending using a twist drill/spade bit. Since I’m working in old work that sometimes has nails I cannot see, it is nice that this bit has a replaceable cutting edge. I haven’t had to replace it yet, but am glad that’s a possibility since this is otherwise a pretty expensive bit.

This bit cut 80 hole through 4by4’s like it was butter

This bit tears through very efficiently. It throws wood chips the size of corn flakes. But as soon as i caught a nail or a hard knot in old wood it needed a new blade. Works well enough, but for the price I hoped for durability more in line with my Milwaukee tools. For new construction Id give it 5 stars. For old work it didn’t live up to the brand for me.
