WoodOwl6 Piece Set with 3/8", 1/2”, 5/8", 3/4”, 7/8" and 1” x 7-1/2” Long Ultra Smooth Tri Cut Auger Hand Brace Boring Bit PTEE coated 09703-09713

I have not had any tear-out with these bits. Somewhat pricey, but in my opinion, worth it.

While they seem a little expensive compared to some other brands on here, they're definitely worth the investment. Having started out with old dull bits that took ages with a hand brace, these Wood Owl bits pull themselves through the wood and produce quite a pile of shavings while they do it. As expected, the largest bits are more difficult to turn but still quite manageable in a hand brace. I really like that they all use the same size shank, though it's larger than expected and may not fit some braces with the old style 2-jaw chuck. Overall fit and finish is excellent, ready to use out of the box. I kept the little plastic caps that came on the bits for protecting the screw tips and cutters when not in use.

These are exponentially exelent bits for my hand brace. They cut super well and leave an amazing finish. Worth every penny!

Was struggling to bore a holes through treated 4x4. Ordered this product and problem solved. Cut through timber like butter and left clean, smooth holes though which to drive spikes for landscaping project. Great addition to our drill bit arsenal.

I have only the 1" bit of this set; it is sold as 1 inch and bit is labeled 1 inch but the sleeve it comes in says (verbatim) 1"/25mm. Unfortunately, 1 inch = 25.4mm, and .4mm is too great a tolerance for most things you might want to put into a 1 inch hole. You cannot drive a 1" peg into a 25mm hole without disaster.

Decided to start using a brace for some of my woodworking projects, looked at some of the bit assortments and picked the WoodOwl based upon reviews and a few YouTube videos. Very nice set of bits that provide a nice clean hole. Very impressed with the sharpness and overall quality of the bits. Will be picking up some sizes larger than the 1 inch. A good investment.

The quality of these from my first impression is very high. Cut perfect size holes smooth as butter. I especially liked the tubes and protective covers included. I suppose as a wood worker I'll someday make a nice box for these, I'm sure they'll hold up till then. These look like they'll last my lifetime. I will probably add to this set the other larger bits over time.

I seldom write reviews but these bits are amazing. I drilled full depth with the 3/4 bit through black walnut and it breezed through it. Super clean entry cut and clears chips beautifully. The coating seems super durable. Very nice bits.
