As someone who works in industrial and scientific fields, I am always on the lookout for the best cutting tools .The WoodOwl Utility Single Spurred Coated bit exceeded my expectations. After I put it to the test I found IT drilled through hardwood with ease and precision. The coating allowed for a smooth, fast cut, and the single spur design prevented splintering. The only downside is that it has a higher price point compared to some other bits on the market. Overall, a great investment for those who need a reliable and effective cutting tool..
