Some reviewers have criticised these tools but I found them good. The cutter was a bit tight to fit the extension but a tap with a soft hammer fixed that- permanently. Cut well and last long on soft wood.
If you want to do lots of precision holes in hard wood or composite though, spend 4 times as much on a professional set.
The Universal 7 Piece Flat Wood Drill Bit Set (and similar flat wood drill bit sets) are a great addition to any toolbox if you’re drilling holes in wood for cable runs, dowels, plugs, or general joinery. Flat bits are designed with a sharp central tip and spurs on the edges to help cut fast, clean holes with minimal splintering — ideal for both softwoods and harder timbers.
Perfect for what I needed them for, not a trades professional just a DIY’er
Needed an extra long bit to go through wall and splash panel , worked a treat .
Great little kit, good value for money as always at Toolstation
I needed a cheap long drill to get me out of a jam ( through a noggin deep in a stud wall) this do the job nicely. Just make sure the grub screws are done up tight. 😜 Would thoroughly recommend this little kit.
Hexagonal wood bits are so easy to change on my electric drill screw driver. And the hexagonal extension bar is magic
Not the best to be honest in my opinion , the extension is fiddly and not great. Not a lot more to be
said from myself . If you are desperate got no choice
Flat bit set useful and did the job, just make sure you tighten both screws well.
Bits ok, but the extension shaft has not been drilled deep enough to accommodate bits and when tightened with supplied Allen key( which was soft) came loose multiple times. Had to drill the shaft deeper and replace the Grub screws and Allen key.
Bought today, lasted 20 seconds tops before the grub screws in the extension failed. Will be returning for a refund as it’s poor. DON’T BUY!
They’re ok for softwood , but should you need to use to bore a hole in an oak door for a latch then that bit is now useless
Small grub screws get clogged very easily, then require cleaning out again. Solution I have put small bolts in instead.
Doesn’t work at all under any amount of pressure!!!
Very poor quality. Didnt even complete one hole. Needed the extension shaft. Fit between shank of drill and socket poor fit and the 2 allen key grub screws not good enough to hold drill tight.
Complete waste of money.
Great for drilling deep holes and a great price to just the job
Extension soon broke. Not complaining because I’ve still got all the drill bits. For the price not bad.
I bought the set specifically for the extension bar. It lasted 15 seconds before the bit started spinning. The Alan key then stripped the grub screws Alan socket.
The retaining grub screws that retain the cutting bit are too soft and make it difficult to tighten them sufficiently
The drill bits are ok but I was disappointed with the extension because once attached it throws the alignment of the drill bit off completely and also the hex screws fall out to easily
