Haven't been impressed with the Spyder bits, have had two break on me and they just came out with this line. Could be wrong, but I think they're a cheaper material

I bought Irwin to drill holes through my 2x4's (sometimes two 2x4 together) so i could run pex piping. Make sure you do it on high torque and not high speed. I almost broke my wrist because the bit grabs the wood and pulls forward. I was also lying on my side stretched out underneath the cabinet. After changing it to high torque and drilling slow, it went through easily.

Yo you gotta use the impact driver for these not a regular drill. That's why they are impact rated.

Impact in wood? Is this a thing? I've never heard of or considered this before but I'm curious.

Cheaper material sure maybe, but did you factor in how super duper cool they look with their spirally blueness!?

Use these at work. They are phenomenal. The hole is so cleaned out when it's done it almost looks like it was made by a carpenter bee.

Do you usually clamp a piece on the other side for blowout? Or with these is that unnecessary? Thanks for the recommendation.

Can't say for sure. I'm drilling into a phone pole. Not concerned with blowout.

They have auger bits if you'd like those, they are great, but can do 90% of gigs with these:

They're a bit better for nail-embedded wood where a spade can get stuck or have trouble
