That makes sense. They would be manufactured the same, making it interesting that they differed in results.. I might need to put them under a lot more testing
I bought those Irwin augers and I'm not super impressed, because they are very fast and aggressive until they basically stop at the very end, as was shown here. I may try the Dewalts next time, thanks.
I use Bosch as a standard brand for stuff and their products seem to hold up well, the number of manufacturers names is quite high. Sometimes you need the quality to get the project or job done. You can pay a premium for some stuff and that’s the time you have to consider what you’re going to get for paying extra. I think Irwin gets overlooked by some people which is a shame, they do decent stuff and hold up well to regular use. Some brands can be a bit hit and miss, you might not have heard of them and they are just not up to the job and that partly explains why they are “on clearance” because it’s not worth having stock nobody wants. It’s also worth noting some drill bits get very clogged easily and that’s a sign they are not really up to the job. A good Bosch or similar set will be worth the outlay and pay for itself many times over.
The drilling speed also has a lot to do with the tip thread type. The more aggressive the tip, thr faster it will go. BUT that also depends on what type of wood you are using it on. Soft wood aggressive tip thread works great but on hardwood, you want less aggressive tip. Just my opinion. I'm not a tradesman.
single flute augers. They are the easiest to sharpen. I like the Milwaukee ones because they are most available. Greenlee,Irwin, Lenox,dewalt are all fine as well
Well seeing as SBD(Stanley Black and Decker) now own IRWIN, they are just painting IRWIN products black and making them DeWalt. So you really just tested the exact same bit in different colors.
I have yet to try those! might need to pick them up next time I'm in bunnings! Might need to do another comparison with alottt more brands involved aswell!
Yup. Can't remember the last time cheaping out saved me money. Cheap bits/tools/etc need to be bought twice or waste your time too damn often to make it worth it
Interesting video. Diablo do a hybrid bit that absolutely rips through timber.
The Dewalt and Irwin look like the exact same product with different point jobs.
They really do! under close inspection i can't note a difference!
@@DaveDoesCarpentry Irwin and DeWalt are owned by the same parent company.

I'd like to know which one drills the cleanest hole with the least blow out on the back. Thoughts?

Nice review, I found the auger bits a bit harder to control for depth.
I can definitely agree with this! As soon as the auger bits start going, they fly through the timber!
Thanks for the video!
no worries! Thankyou for watching!

think I saw them in the intro but the bocsh daredevil spade bits are mental

Please forgive us elderly who use prior generations' slang, rather than today's ... but what the heck does "mental" mean? Orgasmic? Infuriating?
If you weren't using a DeWalt I suspect the Craftright spade bit wouldn't have drilled through the hardwood. Buying drill bit sets is such a trap.
i use diablo or spyder. Give those a try
Every time I go cheap, I kick myself, Irwin make a quality product, especially their drills, impact driver bits and circular saw blades
