Best Boring Drill Bits of 2025

"These plug cutters made my job easier, and the price was right!"

"I was initially disappointed since I had to sharpen them, but once I did, they worked as expected."

"Using these with a drill press was fantastic; they cut through wood like a dream!"

"I needed to install some Blum hidden hinges and used this bit. It worked perfectly! The holes were smooth, and it was easy to use. I drilled into Maple cabinet doors, and the results were perfect. Starting with a small hole helped keep it straight. At just $8, it's a great deal!"

"I used this bit for concealed hinges in oak cabinet doors. It made quick work of creating precise pockets. I didn't use a drill press, just a cordless drill, and it performed admirably. This bit is a good value compared to others out there!"

"I had a few hinge pockets to drill, and instead of a spade bit, I chose this one. The depth measurement was straightforward, and I had no trouble with tear-out. I found that starting slowly on melamine was key to preventing chipping. Highly recommended for any DIY'er!"

"I used this to recess 64 bolts in southern yellow pine timbers. The slots for chip ejection are too small and would constantly clog. My workflow involved drilling about 3/16", stopping to clear the bit, and repeating this a dozen times. It's unfortunate because it was trying to make nice cuts. I was using an old-fashioned, high torque low speed drill, and while putting my weight on it helped clear the chips, it really strained the drill. The design could easily have larger slots, making this otherwise quality bit more effective. It gets the job done and I don't regret buying it, but I wish it handled soft chips better."

"The GREYCORE Tools Self-Feed Drill Bit is an auger-style bit that arrived on time in a fitted plastic protective container. It was just as described online, and I also received a removable pilot and hex key. There were no instructions, but the tool's design is impressive. The 7/16 hex shank means it works best with heavy-duty drills. The robust plastic container protects the perfectly sharpened edges, even though it's a bit hard to open. The thick steel casting is flawlessly sharpened, making it easy to create a flat-bottomed 1 1/2” hole. Some might find the 7/16 shank troublesome, but it emphasizes the importance of using a heavy-duty drill. Overall, it's a great tool and highly recommended."

"If you have a lot of holes to drill and want to do it quickly, this bit is an excellent choice. It features an aggressive feed screw and is very sharp, efficiently clearing wood chips from the holes. It does require a bit of torque to drill, and while I used a small Makita drill with a 3Ah battery that didn’t struggle, I know I’d need a heftier drill if I hit knots. This is definitely a quality tool."

"I mistakenly bought this bit, thinking it would work with my drill press. However, it has a flat spot for a set screw, making it suitable only for hinge boring machines. Thankfully, Amazon made returning it easy."

"During my first use, I accidentally drilled through two drywall screws. Surprisingly, the carbide tips still looked brand new. Amazing quality for this bit!"

"I was working on a cabinet door project, and this bit made everything incredibly quick and efficient. Absolutely worth every penny!"

"I found these tools to be highly effective when used in a drill press."

"Using them in a hand drill was a bit tricky for me, but they performed well otherwise."

"I found this drill bit to be very effective for boring holes in newly cut stumps, allowing me to apply stump killer easily. It's sharp and drills through material with ease. Its 12-inch length is perfect for deep drilling, but I have to be cautious about bending it."

"This drill bit performed exceptionally well for my tasks. I drilled multiple deep holes into a stump without any issues. It was an easy and efficient process."

"I purchased this long bit for a few plumbing jobs, and it was reasonably priced while doing a great job for the three holes I needed to drill for my security system."

"These bits are decent quality and sturdy if you’re not pushing too hard. They do break easier than I thought, but for the price, they’re reasonable. I would definitely order them again."

"I needed bits in a hurry for a small project, and these worked great on a solid wood job. They didn’t last very long and overheated eventually, but I was glad I didn't spend more on pricier options. They handled the job well, and delivery was quick."

"I’ve been searching for spare bits for my Rotozip tool, and I finally found this site. The bits fit perfectly, and I couldn't be happier!"

"At 75 years young, my hands and steadiness needed improvement. This tool effortlessly adjusts to the size I want for internal, external, and face work. The carbide tips provide a finish that often requires little to no sanding."

"I bought this because my larger ones were worn out. This is perfect for the job as I'm the only one using it, so it will be well taken care of. If maintained, it will be all I need to make holes."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this boring bar. It did a fantastic job on parts for my model engine project. The fit and finish of the tool were top-notch, and the included boring bars exceeded my expectations."

“This thing is a beast! I found that it produces a nice clean hole if I drill from both sides of the wood. I start from one side until the tip of the center screw just pops through the back, then I finish from the back to meet in the middle. This method gives me a clean hole every time.”

“I had a previous drill bit that kept hitting nails, so I had to replace it. This drill bit has been a much better option for me.”

“I would definitely recommend this drill bit for anyone who needs to drill holes quickly.”

"I found that I had to reshape the tools from this set since they felt a bit awkward on larger tubing. However, they did the job I needed them for. After grinding the edges on my bench grinder, they worked much better. I’m glad I decided to keep and use them."

"The product worked well for my personal a/c system install, but I noticed the black paint flakes off, so I had to make some sample swages first. I wouldn't recommend it for anything more demanding."

"I used the drill on copper but snapped off the tip, leaving me with a useless tool. If you enjoy tools that break and complicate your job, this might be for you."
