Flat bits, what do you recommend?

Looks awesome for the bench, but I'm not sure it's gonna fit between fitted joists................

Bosch every time

I've used all kinds of flat spade bits and nothing beats Bosch, cuts through joists like butter.

Hello All,

I have read good things about these `Armeg Wood Beaver` 4 flute drill bits:

Armeg Wood Beaver Drill Bit 25mm - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/armeg-wood-beaver-drill-bit-25mm/40712#product_additional_details_container

I read that although they are more expensive than even good quality Flatbits - `they cut through joists like going through butter` and apparently last much longer `in normal use`.

I see that they have a 1/4" Hex shank which would be useful for quick change into a screwdriver bit holder - if that would keep them sitting `tight & straight` ?

I have not tried one yet - as I have quite a stock of 25mm Flatbits.

For Flatbits - I have been buying Bosch and Draper Flatbits for years and I would recommend either brand - but I occasionally get a couple of inexpensive `Silverline` ones - You really can tell after a few holes the `good quality` bits from the `cheap`ones.

If any Members do try the `Wood Beaver` bits I would appreciate their Review please.

Regards,

Chris

I use the Armeg Wood Beavers and would highly recommend them. They go through all kinds of wood speedily and are long-lasting.

Hello JK-Electrical,

Thanks for the recommendation - your comments are similar to what I had previously read about the Armeg Wood Beaver Bits.

Regards,

Makes perfect sense!

Armeg Wood Beaver & Nail Proof Stubby (and full-size) fluted bits 20, 25 & 32 mm make very short work of joists, sheet materials, pipes etc and the nail-proof are designed to cope with the additional abuse met out by an impact driver.

60v De Walt kit eh? Hmmmmm
