They are small and light weight
I kinda expected them to be bigger and chunkier but they work well and I was able to drill multiple holes and increase the size of the holes easily.

When a power drill won’t do
Needed to replace an antique tool my grandfather used in wood shop. Went to Lowe’s, ACE, Home depot…no one knew what it was or even had it. Now I know it’s called…a wood auger!Great for getting into small spaces.

Nice bu not perfect
These work pretty well, but would benefit from having the threads extend up the shaft a bit more.

Very useful for figuring out how thick an RV wall or floor is
The initial portion ~self-drills until the threaded portion is no longer "in" wall or floor material. Then there is a smooth portion behind the threaded portion. One can push and pull the gimlet while the smooth portion is "in" the wall material, and the pulling will stop (the "stop" can be felt) when the threaded portion touches the other side of the wall or floor material.

Durable
Very durable and easy to use. Very versatile for projects. Instead of always using my drills these make a quick and easy hole to start a screw etc on my wood working projects.

When you don't have a drill handy for a pilot hole.
I saw these on the site and had to try them. Glad I did! They are so handy to have.
