never had an issue with this type but then i tend to buy heavy duty cordless drillsThe only issue with these are they are 4 fluted and most battery drills will struggle unless you have the top of the range heavy duty drills, I've had many issues with Armeg drill bits in the past from spade bits twisting even in soft wood to bits snapping, in reflection I have no issues with other recognised brands which are also cheaper to boot too.
your using an sds drill? a normal combi or impact driver works better.I use a bosch top end 36v battery drill and even that drops off on torque slip a lot trying to drill standard joists ... I have similar other brand 3 fluted auger bits that sail through the same joist... I got the armeg bits for free when I collared the rep' handing him a handfull of twisted spade bits and snapped masonary bits all at teh same point where drill shaft meets SDS base, on the former he said my drill is too strong or the material I'm drilling is to tough... I explained they were drilling standard house joists with a battery drill with torque slip that found no issue when I used a different brand... he hands me the box of auger bits as compensation and tbh still not fully impressed.
I now avoid all armeg gear regardless because of the bad experiences I've had with them.

have you tried titan there auger bits are good
an sds just cant drill joists very well at all, i put my drill in first gear and it doesnt stop
yes, sorry i misunderstoodErrrm! I was relating to other drill bits for other jobs not to drill wooden joists although when in a tight spot needs must I have done it in the past to get me out of a sticky situe ... but SDS masonary bit is not my drill of choice for a joist :uhoh2: I assume you were been facetious
Innuendo or what!You have to be really careful with the beavers, coming into repeated contact with something hard can often wear them out.
