I went through several drills until I found this. I had to use a heavier drill bit with wire, but this thing is great for working in wood, even super hard stumps.
I had to remove a LARGE and very gnarled tree stump. Leafwood borers were NOT suitable for this job. This drill did not even blink when drilling through even the hardened parts of the stump. That's right, I had to upgrade my power drill, which wasn't really that bad.
Used today for drilling tree stumps for injecting potassium nitrate with a DeWalt cordless drill. I had 4 dead ash stumps measuring 18" to 30" in diameter that I wanted to remove, so I drilled 4-7 full size corner holes. I've used 2 of my 5 amp batteries and twisted my wrist a few times but this bit is sharp, strong and unrelenting. I would recommend this beat to everyone!
