What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title specifies 1.6-inch x 16-inch and 3.5-inch x 16-inch bits, but the detail fields give a 1.6-inch cutting diameter without a second size, and the title's dimensions are not fully confirmed by the technical details. Confirm the selected set's sizes and lengths before buying. The listing's 3/8-inch hex-drive compatibility is described in its feature text, while the shank field says straight, so verify the connection fits your drill.
Who is it for?

- Gardeners planting bulbs or bedding plants who want two stated hole diameters.

The feedback describes customer experience and does not confirm the listing's stated dimensions or drill compatibility.
