Having had purchased a cheap knock-off brand prior to this and having them fall short on the quality control, prompted me to purchase these, as recommended by a YouTube channel woodworker. These certainly are FAR superior to the stuff you get cheap from China. The main difference is that you get 5 different sizes that are accurate with collars that are the appropriate thickness to fit North American hinges and counter-sunk holes. What I had bough from China fit the holes, but went all the way through, resulting in hole-depths that were NOT consistent. These Snappy bits were perfect fits and did not change the depth of the holes, as they properly fit the taper of the hinge-holes. The springs are also well made and strong; a bit too strong, but I guess they’re still relatively new. They are tough to press into the
Wow, just wow!
Best invention EVER!!! Works like a dream, so glad I found this product. I am/was replacing all the interior doors in our house (10 doors ranging from 24 inch to 32 inch) so I needed to both route the recess for the hinges ( two per door so 20 routing operations) and pre-drill the holes for each hinge (three per hinge so 60 drilling operations) plus pre-drilling the screw holes for the new door handle hardware ( two per door so 20 more holes). This set of self centering drill bits has not only made this dramatically easier but as you know (if you have ever hung a new door in an existing door way) you can get everything else perfect but if the holes for the hinge screws are off center, your door is NOT going to close properly. So definitely 5 stars for these
Great product, worked perfectly for me. Easy to use, fast and efficient.
These Snappy self centering bits are no better than the cheap Taiwan versions so, save yourself some money! I am a cabinet maker and use tools like this to install hinges and slides. I have a set of the original Vix Bits that is 30 years old. The springs are worn out as are the drill bits and the tip of the guide. They definitely don’t owe me anything! I’ve drilled 1000’s of holes with them. I purchased Snappy version thinking, American and 4.3 stars, how could I go wrong! Well, after my first kitchen, the spring was noticeably weaker, as others have said, but that’s not the biggest issue. On about the 20’th hinge, the drill bit slipped out and got stuck in the cabinet stile! Unlike my old vix bits, and even the cheap Chinese version I keep handy just in case, there is no flat on the
No better than the cheapo version!
