Pros & Cons
Pros
Every fabricator, craftsperson, mechanic, or diyer needs unibits. When drilling sheet metal. Super effective for drilling 1/2 inch holes into metal studs.
The bit has a hex shank for positive slip-free use in standard drill chucks. The shank section before the groove is a bit shorter than normal.
Works great, good hole starter. Makes small holes bigger and works better with lube. As most hole stretchers usually do. If you need to enlarge an existing hole, and want it well centered on the original hole.
Cons
The shank isnt complete flat on all sides preventing it from fitting into the chuck on the impact. Poor quality control.
Highlights
Quality
Summaryif you enjoy using top quality tools then this set is worthy of your consideration
I found it easy to produce clean edged accurate holes with the irwin step bits in my handheld drill
It worked poorly cutting action much slower and the quality of the hole was not as good as running the bit in a normal clockwise direction
The quality workmanship of this product is obvious sharp finely machined highly visible markings
Price
Well see how it lasts but cuts fast good price
Packaging/appearance
The hole was clean on the front and kind of splayed out the backside
Competitiveness
While it does cost more than competing offshore bits it is also significantly superior in all respects

The badthere really isn’t anything serious to complain about so consider the following list to be nitpicking…the bit fits standard 14” hex drivers but the shank section before the groove is a bit shorter than normal see photo
