yeah at almost the price of a single 1 1/2 spade bit I bought a stack of them as well, since I only really use 1"+
They've gone down in quality though either that or cordless tools are just too stronk for them. These fuckers wreck your wrist when they bind...
I wouldn't buy smaller than 7/8" if I were purchasing them individually, but even if you figure $2.50 per for the sizes that and over, still a steal.
I think it's that the tools have just gotten so much more powerful. In an impact though, binding is of no consequence. I rarely use them in anything other than my impacts, a ship auger in my M18 HH still being my go-to.
I've got like a dozen extensions for them in various lengths. They work great for doing the same sort of thing I'm doing here with my SH, but the hole doesn't need to be 1-1/4" for the head of the extension to be able to follow, like it does with that setup.

Based on the life I get with these, yes.
Couple of nail strikes and just chuck them - which is pretty much painless at this price.

At a buck per bit, was a good time to load up.

Although my gen-1 Fuel drill was still going strong, with what I use them for, I can always use a little more grunt.

Use my tools professionally. I enjoy my tools, and I certainly don't abuse them by any means, but I also don't treat them like a collectable. I have enough tools that I never ask any of them to do more than they are designed for, as I have the right tool for every job - maybe it's just that I'm extremely lucky, but maybe that's why I've never had a tool that's needed warranty or premature repair. Buy once, cry once.

Not quite my brand of preference in a ship auger, and a 16th less in diameter than my go-to, but at just over $6 per who's to complain.

You'd have to be crazy to buy a battery or a charger as a standalone item. I don't buy a cordless tool unless it has some kind of offer involved, as there's always one right around the corner.

My 2763 hasn't been on mode 1 since the day I first got it. Not sure what their thinking was there, but find it useless to me.

Interesting, was just curious, I had 2 2731s and the one that came in the "deal" kit didn't seem as sturdy.
Deals like that make you wonder if they're not doing something different to be able to let them go that cheap. It's probably more that it only costs them pennies on the dollar to produce them, in relation to what they retail for.
What tools did you buy today?

Okay, just for giggles, I tried the largest of the 10-pack, the 1-1/4", in my new M18 gen-2 hammer drill, 2704-20. At 2,000 screamin' RPM, and with the crazy torque this thing has, through doubled 2x's is literally a 3-count, and like the proverbial butter. That's what these are intended for, fast boring is framing members, not as a replacement for other applications that you'd use a traditional spade bit.
Next project is to cut a 3/8" down in length a little, try is as the pilot bit in my Milwaukee Big Hawgs, which are crazy fast already, for larger holes, but should be even quicker, pulling them through with the Daredevil spur.
