Disappointed with the durability of these bits. I used the 3/4 in bit to drill some holes to run some wire after the 2nd hole the bit is done. Burnt and dull.

I am writing to follow up on a recent review you posted on the HomeDepot.com website. Home Depot is focused on ensuring complete customer satisfaction. As the manufacturer, we are very interested in supplying consumers with a quality product that delivers the expected performance. The review is on our SB0010 Spade Bits which a chisel tipped spade bit. Our 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. Which bits did you experience issues with? 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 Manager for review. You may return the bit back to the store within 30 days from the purchased date. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. Thank you for your time.

Needed to drill 2 - 11/16 holes. Couldn't even get the first one beyond the center point. Entire set appears to be dull. Didn't expect long life from the set but this was ridiculous .

I used the 7/16" bit (next to the largest) in a drill press for making over 400 holes into pressure treated wood. The last hole looked just like the first. I didn't experience any dullness or snags using this Bosch spade bit. This is a very good set for sinking screws/bolts or, in my case, drilling holes.

Very easy to use and the quality is good enough.
I originally used the Daredevil series spade bit, turned out that Daredevil is not suitable for hardwoods like cherry and plum (it will stuck in the wood).
Now I'm using the Chisel Point Spade Drill, and being able to drill cherry and plum wood without any problems.

Two bits were bent - not useable in a drill press.

I am writing to follow up on a recent review you posted on the HomeDepot.com website for the SB0010 spade bit set that you purchased. Home Depot is focused on ensuring complete customer satisfaction. As the manufacturer, we are very interested in supplying consumers with a quality product that delivers the expected performance. We are sorry to hear that the spade bits did not work well for your application. What material were you drilling? You cannot control the feed rate that is needed. Our Forstner Bits or Hole Saws are better suited for the drill press versus the spade bits. We would like to send you one of our Forstner Bit to try if you write back with your name and shipping address and the size of hole you would like to drill. I am very hopeful to hear from you and help you resolve the difficulties you’ve experienced. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. Thank you for your time.

works fine in applications which require straight-through boring, however, if you want to create a hole which bottoms out at a certain depth less than the thickness of the material in which you're boring, this tool creates tear-out.

Bought these to drill holes in some pine boards, but didn't want to drill all the way through. It worked okay for the first hole, but needed to drill 12. It started to get hot and seemed dull. I was using a drill press and going slow, but it didn't want to drill. Not sure I would purchase again.
