I needed this for a guitar project and it was a great help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It worked as expected and as needed.
*by L***G on January 2, 2026*

It did the trick and I was able to drill the hole very near the top edge of a drawer (in order to put a lock on a file cabinet.) I was worried the bit might break through the thin edge of drawer at the top edge but it didn’t; it made a precise hole as needed.
