I used to order these for my company as I had thought they were of a good quality and had good customer support, that and they were the only 1-1/2" bits I could find. But after having four of them in a row shear at the drive end after a week of use I was sure that they had either got a bad steel shipment or had cheaper out. Which wouldn't be so bad if milwalkie was at all interested in fixing a potential problem with there manufacturing.

Long story short save yourself time and money buy the more expensive wood owls or Lenox bits

I will not be buying one of these again

This bit is perfect for anyone needing to drill large holes through a few inches of wood repeatedly. Eats through nails like butter and requires little force by the user as the bit pulls itself through the material with ease. Does require a very strong drill though and I use the Milwaukee Super Hawg.

I ordered the milwaukee 7/8by 18 ship auger bit,very will finished,nice polish on it,but it didn,t size at 7/8,it was stamped right on the bit,and the tube it came in,but it was 13/16.I kept it and ordered a dewalt 7/8 bit,it was smaller than 7/8,but bigger than 13/16,and i sent it back.the bit was not stamped dewalt,just 7/8,check your bits after you get them so you will get what you want. I bought wood owl,no problem very good bits,made in japan excellent bits.amazon had fast shipping

This auger bit is nice and beefy. Note that the shank is 7/16, not 3/8, and these larger auger bits require a pretty beefy drill as the self-feed function really works-whether your drill is ready or not. The bit is not exactly as pictured.
