Bosch 13x EXPERT Self Cut Speed Spade Drill Bit Set (for Softwood, Particleboard, Ø 10-32 mm, Professional Accessory Rotary Drill/Drivers)

Great quality

As an electrician I use these all the time, I would never buy cheap bits again as these are absolutely bulletproof!! They remain super sharp providing you don’t catch any nails 😂 but amazing value for money👌

only part way through my second hole did I realise how these work properly. I read the blurb and watched the videos but it needs to actually happen for you to understand it. The threaded tip has to bite into the wood and pull the bit through. This means it goes through the wood MUCH faster than a standard spade bit. however as it does this the side points engage - which is where the speed comes from - at this point a lot of torque is needed to keep it moving otherwise it jams. drilling through joists with the 30mm bit requires some force to get the thread to engage and then a lot of strength to hold the drill against the torque , particularly worse when also using a right angle adapter. hard to find the right balance of slow speed (control, not jamming, handle the torque) and just fast enough to pull through . But with the right torque and right speed and hold just the right amount of pressure, it was probably 10x faster than previously drilling the same distance through a joist with a "normal" spade bit. don't use them for anything other than wood. holes in plastic sheets or pipes, use something else.

Great quality! Very sharp out the box, what you would expect from Bosch

I bought this Bosch EXPERT Self Cut Speed spade bit set because I wanted the larger size range rather than one of the smaller, cheaper sets. I did consider saving money, but past experience with budget spade bits has usually ended in frustration. At £41.95 this set isn’t cheap, so expectations were high. Build quality is excellent. The bits are well finished, sharp out of the box, and feel substantially more robust than generic spade bits. There’s none of the rough grinding or uneven edges you often see on cheaper sets. Drilling performance is where these clearly separate themselves from budget options. In softwood and particleboard they cut very fast, but more importantly they stay centered. Cheaper spade bits tend to wander at the start of a hole or grab unpredictably, especially at larger diameters. These don’t. The self-feed tip pulls the bit in smoothly and keeps it tracking straight, which noticeably improves drilling accuracy. Ease of use is better than expected for such aggressive bits. They bite quickly, but they’re predictable if you let the bit do the work. With cheaper bits I often find myself fighting the drill or backing off to regain control. That hasn’t been the case here. You do still need a firm grip on higher torque drills, but the behavior is controlled rather than wild. Size coverage is the main reason to buy this set. Having everything from 10 mm up to 32 mm means you’re rarely improvising or forcing the wrong size. That alone avoids a lot of the compromises you end up making with smaller or mixed-quality sets. These aren’t precision Forstner bits and aren’t intended for fine cabinetry. They’re designed for fast, accurate drilling where speed, control, and consistency matter more than a perfect finish. Overall, this is a high-quality spade bit set with excellent drilling performance and noticeably better accuracy and control than cheaper alternatives. Expensive upfront, but if you’ve ever been frustrated by wandering or grabbing budget bits, the difference here is very obvious and worth paying for.

Good

Great bits and hard wearing but catch a screw or nail and its useless. Be careful and these are great

Ottimo set di mecchie a spada, utili per fori profondi nel legno morbido e medio duro. La tecnologia fondamentale è la punta che si centra e si avvita rapidamente nel legno, rendendo la foratura rapida e precisa. D'altronde Bosch è una garanzia. Le mecchie, nel mio caso del set da 13 pezzi arrivano in una custodia a libro molto comoda.

Received product very fast, well packaged and as described, thanks.

Bosch expert, parecen de calidad, falta probar pero creo que darán la talla, viene en un estuche (38€) También digo que Bosch es muy buena marca alemana pero la fabricación...se ve en la foto, en general le doy un 9.

Je n'ai pas été surpris car pour le prix je me doutais bien que c'était pas fabriqué en Suède, hein! C'est un peu brut d'aspect, mais ça fait le taf très honorablement. Petit avertissement pour ceux qui sont habitués aux mèches toutes plates de ce type avec juste une pointe sur le bout : ils vont être étonnés par la puissance de la mèche pour traverser le bois grâce à son pas de vis sur le bout. Elle n'arrête de tirer que quand le bois est traversé. Impressionnant !
