Negative Positive
Title: Way, WAY too aggressive
Review: I was excited when I received these drill bits about three years ago. Of course any new, sharp drill bits are always exciting. I find myself cursing these drill bits every time I use them. The "pilot point" tends to drill into the wood like a cork screw, VERY quickly. Even if you try applying very little pressure, zip, right into the wood. I made the mistake of using these for some finish work on a newel post and the ugly hole I started with looked better then the finished product. I don't even enjoy using these bits for rough work, they just screw into the wood every dang time. Oh, and the "no slip" shank is a crock. Only the larger bits have the no-slip shank. When the smaller bits screw into the wood and get stuck, and then you throw the drill into reverse, the bits just spin and spin (granted my Dewalt drill has a keyless chuck).I'm disappointed that these carry the Dewalt name, I think they tarnish an otherwise decent reputation.
Is the review positive or negative?
