Fisch5mm Brad Point Drill Bit – Chrome Vanadium Woodworking Drill Bit for Clean, Precise Holes in Hardwood, Softwood, MDF & Laminated Materials, FSF-176589, Made in Austria

I'm a landlord remodeling a house and needed to install t-bar pulls on the new cabinets. After years of marking all the holes by hand or making custom jigs out of scrap wood, I finally decided to try buying an adjustable hardware jig. Most of these jigs are designed to use 5mm bits, so I ordered this brad point bit to use with it. I don't need a bunch of metric brad point bits, so being able to purchase a single low-cost high-quality bit to keep with the jig was perfect for me.The bit performed well for the 60 or so holes I had to drill, most in maple and a few in MDF. The bit was straight with a sharp brad point that made it easy to precisely mark the location of the hole using the jig. Holes were clean and round, with no tear out so long as a backer board was used.The bit I received is NOT made in Austria as the listing title currently displays and is not stamped with the Fisch logo. Th packaging is branded as Fisch, being made in China based on their design and specifications. The listing should be corrected, but at my time of purchase this bit was less than $3 with Prime next day shipping. I expected as much. It worked well and the bit that came with my jig was a joke so I am a happy customer.

I bought this for 5mm shelf pin installations to use up the remaining 5mm shelf pins I had on hand. Worked great as the bit is a nice sharp brad point and is 5mm for snug shelf pin applications.I’d like to believe that it is a Fisch brand bit since the packaging has the Fisch name and logo with a Fisch item number on the back of the label sticker. The bit itself is not marked Fisch, but I can’t see Fisch allowing their name to be used without consent.I’d buy again and recommend this 5mm bit.

works as it should. very accurate.

Its just your basic bit, but it seems well made.

Works great, very sharp

The drill bit worked very well for my intended use.

Macht was er soll und ist scharf!!

Overall quality of this drill bit is excellent, far better than the Bosch ones I've been using, very sharp producing clean holes, everything I want in a drill bit basically.

Der Bohrer kommt in einer üblichen, wiederverwendbaren Plastiktasche.Er läuft absolut rund und bohrt auch in Esche ausrissfrei ohne übermäßig warm zu werden.Bin zufrieden.
