I find these fly through the meat of joists but once the screw tip has punctured the other side the seem to struggle to get the flutes through.

Properly well made auger bits.
Ive (admittedly) found the odd screw or nail with my 32mm and it still rips through joists happily.
They pull themselves through wood by design but better than most in my experience.
Even the screw type thread at the end seems to be holding up well and I must have had the same set for about 6 months now

Great kit. Used yesterday on a 12v drill with a dying battery and still made it through 8 bits of 4x2
Pull really well and good clean holes. Tough as nails.
Need more sizes now.

These wood beavers (both the stubby and normal size) are brilliant! They produce nice clean holes and go through wood like a hot knife through butter. I have had lots of auger bits in my life having restored several houses but the Armeg wood beavers are by far the best. They are not cheap but they make the job so much easier. So well worth the cost

Had a set of these for a couple of years and they’ve been great! Being stubby you don’t usually have much trouble drilling a nice straight hole when working up between joists or under floorboards. When they’re brand now the absolutely eat through timber. Quite expensive but reasonably hard wearing, they do say they are nail proof but I always try to avoid that as much as possible to prolong their life

The wood beaver is amazing! These drill bits eat through joists for cable runs. I’ve had the same bits for about two years now and they’re definitely worth their weight in gold. The only sign that they’ve had some use is that they need a little extra pressure to get through the other side once the self feed screw bit is out, other than that I wouldn’t even know. Would highly recommend these bits!

One of the best wood beavers I've used. Although they do seem to blunt quicker than some on old joists.
Keep them sharp and they will pull through the joist quickly. The short compact size is also a plus, allowing you to get into enclosed spaces. Definitely use with an impact driver.

Have used these for a few years as the eat up joists. They are really useful and easy to use for drilling lots of holes in joists to run cabling through. They do however blast through the other side of the hoist but that is no problem as it’s always out of sight. I use to use normal spade bits but they went blunt very quickly and needed pressure to be consistently applied where as these pull themself through the joist

Been using these now for a while, again with Armeg they are on the pricey side but compared to how many flat wood bits they out perform in reality the price is not that bad, ideal as it's stated for drilling joists when pulling cables as they allow for my drill to drill horizontal straight holes most of the time due to their length allowing for the drill to fut between joists. Good piece of kit and would highly recommend.

Much rather use a Bosch speedbit over these. They require so much torque and unless using heavier duty equipment to drill the holes then be careful not to burn out the lighter ones. Will not last long and if you hit a nail... BIN IT!

Had a set of these for a long time now, great bits when new and so easy to go through joist, avoid nails as this will stuff them right up!
the price has crept up over the years and they are a bit on the pricey side now, so you have to weigh it up if you use them every day a few times then they may be right for you? If you only use this sort of bit once in a while then a cheap flat wood bit may be better as you can pick these up at toolstation for around a quid!!

Brilliant set of drill bits. After 6 months the 20mm bit is starting to get a bit blunt but all the others are still going strong. Nice and quick to drill a row of holes. Just have to watch the recoil on your drill when it's on high torque with these bits as it can catch and spin your drill around if your not gripping it tightly.

Well made auger type drill. Stubby size is useful. However the centre threaded tip is to efficient and screws the drill cuttiers to the wood so tightly it can cause it not to cut into the surface but spin over it. The price is somewhat high when its efficiency is not always on point.
