Bosch Daredevil bits - Excellent performance
Just opened the package and started using them. I didn’t know spade bits could be this good. I so glad I bought them.

    Absolute garbage
    Probably the worst purchase I’ve ever made. Although they were only $16, they made a somewhat easy project impossible. The screw tip is really great for starting but once it grabs, it isn’t controllable enough to make your project look nice. It tears the wood and doesn’t make a clean hole with a hand drill. I’m sure it would be great in a press where the amount of power isn’t an issue but with a hand drill it wasn’t possible. I wouldn’t wish these on anyone and I threw all of them in the trash

    Thank you for your recent post on the HomeDepot.com website. We are sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the DSB5012 Spade Bit Set. As the manufacturer, we are very interested in supplying consumers with a quality product that delivers the expected performance. The DareDevil spade bits have a full cone threaded tip so the bit will pull itself into the wood. These bits are design for rough carpentry. A Forstner bit would be a better bit for fine woodworking and hardwoods and provides a smooth bottom. We appreciate your comments and will forward them to our Product Managers for review. For further questions or assistance please write back or contact our customer service at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499) M-F 7a-7p CST.

      Aggressive! That threaded tip eats into wood! Make sure you know your tools, this could snap your wrist in a powerful 1/2" chuck drill!

      Took them back
      I only needed one bit that was the size of 1/2 conduit and and 18mm to go through oak. I put the bit in my drill press and as soon as the bit touched the test board it grabbed it due to the screw type tip and ripped it out my hand. Never happened with "normal" blades. I then use vice grips to hold it secure and and it dug itself in very fast. I did not have control. I then used the oak and split my board in half. Took them back immediately and got the "Normal" buts that worked as expected. Way better control. Home owner would have been seriously upset if I cracked they 100 year old stair tread.

      Hi there! The DareDevil Spade Bits has a full cone threaded tip so the bit will pull itself into the wood. These bits are design for rough carpentry. A Forstner bit would be a better bit for fine woodworking and hardwoods and provides a smooth bottom. It can also be sued with a drill press. We appreciate your comments and will forward them to our Product Manager for review. For further questions or assistance please write back or contact our customer service at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499) M-F 7a-7p CST. Thank you for your time.

        These bits are excellent. Drill through hardwood like it’s nothing. Almost fell off my stool expecting to have to put way more force behind the drill like my previous set.

        This set is great. I just wish they had added the 1-1/2” bit. I feel this size is more common and should have been included.
