"I needed the 1" for drilling into stumps in my yard to add stump killer."
"Nice set of bits."
"I've used spade bits for years, but I don't use them often and I've never sharpened them – I just assumed they were supposed to be difficult to use properly. My existing bits would still work, but I finally broke down and bought a nice set... and I am simply amazed at the difference. I no longer believe that is the case – these bits are capable of drilling clean attractive holes in visible locations with no issue."
"These are great spade bits!"
"These are the only paddle bits I will pay money for because they do not have those little wing points on the outside corners that other paddle bits have, which seems to chip off after some time and rend the bit usless."
"A really nice set of high speed wood bits that also can be used in 1/4 inch hex impact drivers that are popular now as well as conventional drill chucks."
"Successfully drilled a hole through the thin board on the back of a piece of furniture."
The IRWIN SPEEDBOR Max Speed Drill Bit Set, 6 Piece, features 6 of the most commonly used drill bits with a tri-flute design for faster chip ejection, cutting spurs with 3 cutting edges for extra durability, full screw tips for self-feeding, and grooved hex shanks that prevent slipping in all standard 1/4" quick change chucks. Grooved hex shank prevents slipping in drill chuck or bit extension.

"These bits were nicely packaged with a nice case, but I could not get them to work very well."
"The move through wood very fast, but for some reason, mine get to that last 1/8" and then require force to simply blow open the end of the hole."
"I have to run the cordless drill on low or these bog it."
"Been using speedbor for near 10 years now, won't use anything else."
"I like the case very much for the bits."
"The price is good but the 1 1/4 bit is about 3mm out of center - disapointing."
"Love these bits for drilling wood, far better than a spade type bit!"

"A set with everything you need for an excellent price."
"if you plan on using these bits alot, then either buy multi-sets because they don't stand-up for repeated use.example : drilled 3 holes in 1/2" plywood with the 1" spade bit.completly dull now."
"I really liked this set at first sight, but after trying to use the 3/4 wood bit my opinion changed dramatically."
