If you've never used it before, brace yourself. It took some effort to hold the drill handle in place with one hand, and I had to put my leg against the handle and hold the top of the handle with the other. Let me tell you, I'm a keyboard guy, not a construction worker Despite 10 inches of green live oak between the bit and the wood, the bit passed through it with no problem. It is normal that the bit pulls itself forward, as others have noted. It is what you would expect from a bit of this kind. With this, there is really no such thing as gradual progress. Whether you drill forward at the speed the drill bit wants to go, or whether you back it out, is up to you.
Hole has a nice clean appearance.
The bit is great. As soon as we planted a bunch of new trees (podocarpus and Carolina cherry), we had to get this one. In order to do this, we bought this digging feature that drills holes in the ground and introduces fertilizer to the soil.
