A 1.5 inch auger bit in a hand brace sounds difficult, but this wood owl bit managed just fine - and turning it wasn’t an arm breaker. Great design. Pretty clean exit hole (with a backing board) in some dense iroko. Very pleased with this tool and this shop. Many thanks

Used to bore through mortises for green woodwork stool seat (old oak worktop) to fit cleft ash legs. Got through the oak easily . Finished tenons with wedges fitted snugly and looked good

I have a number of these bits for oak framing. Beautifully made, sharp cutting edges. Runs true, no wobble cleanly machined flutes which extract the chips well. Easily bored deep holes in oak. Dont know what else to say really. Well worth the cost if looked after. Use the side handle on the drill tho!

Used plenty of Lewis auger bits over the years and this WoodOwl is by far one of the best I’ve had on green oak. Pulls through effortlessly, clears chips brilliantly and stays sharp even after repeated deep bores. I was hesitant at first to bore right through, but took a chance and its amazing how little tearout you get. In most cases I've experienced none at all. Accurate, clean holes with very little wandering. Proper quality bit for timber framing work. Will definitely be buying more sizes.

Drilling 32mm holes in the Australian hardwood blackbutt is pretty much like trying to drill through hardened steel. The WoodOwl managed it with a bit of a struggle but the holes were round, not ovoid, and more than good enough for use as mortises. If you're going to use them for chair or furniture making, just be aware that the snail and spurs are pretty short so you'd probably need to start drilling with the auger close to 90 degrees and lean into your required angle.

Cuts like a warm knife through butter. Been slowly upgrading my augers to these wood owl bits. Certainly worth the extra!

Store owner replied: Thanks Richard, great to hear. Would love to see a video of the WoodOwl in action if you can upload one to the review? cheers Lucy
If you’re planning on hand drilling 32mm angled mortises in Australian hardwood such as blackbutt, a 3mm pilot hole is the go. The snail on these is pretty hefty and the extractives in eucalypts will clog the snail thread as the bit heats in use. But good piece of kit.

So - at the age of 56 - I think it’s the most expensive drill bit I have ever purchased. I use it on green oak (wet wood) any it absolutely kills it! Really low vibration for a long bit and bores a beautiful hole without burning. Great bit of kit. Easily worth more that half a dozen cheap bits.

I wish I'd known that augers of this quality existed years ago. It cuts straight and clean through 250mm green oak beams without pause. The only issue is that the chippings don't clear quickly enough and you'll need to back the drill out from time-to-time to help. Combined with the Mafell drill guide it works an absolute treat. Even the exit holes are clean if you go carefully, which makes a huge time saving not marking out and drilling from both sides
