I was just talking about the infamous stooge Larry Fine the other day. Everytime I would see Mike Holt's Forum infamous Larry Fine I kept thinking why I knew that name. I mentioned it to someone last week and they reminded me that was one of the stooges name.

Thanks Larry. :smile:

Does anyone else use these? If not, you don't know what you're missing.

I've used those alot in the past 5 years. You do need to pull the bit back out a few times to remove the rubbish or it is going to get stuck, but otherwise they are pretty good for close work such as getting thru the top plates from the attic end.
 
Used them until they became too hard to find. Very good bit. Greenlee nail biters will suck nails right out of the wood and drop tem at the feet of the nail happy carpenter. Ideal double helix cuts faster but doesn't pull the nails as well. Irwin speed bore is lightning fast but doesn't take abuse well.
 
all i know is irwin bits can kiss my ass one nail and its done. I recently bought a ideal bit, and it seems to be holding up very well. i think its acually called nail eater. it drills like a champ and i havent had to sharpen it in about 4 weeks. Im quite impressed, or maybey its the cheep spruce the builder has been using as of late.

I gone through a bunch of Greenlee's...could be wear, abuse or quality issues ??? Most of them I have had for quite awhile.

I just bought a new "Irwin Speedbor MAX Spade Bits":

Doesn't look like a spade to me.

I should be breaking it in next week ...if the GC ever gets his act together.
I'll give my "review" then.

Since Celtic forgot his review :)grin: ) I'll give one.
I just picked up one of these 2 weeks ago, and so far it works like a champ. However, it's not QUITE as good after I accidentally ground it against a block wall. It still works well though. Maybe I'll pick up another one to give a fair tryout without cinder block interference.

If the tip isn't bent, have you taken a file to the bruised cutting edge/s?
