That counter sink bit is cooler than you realize. Notice it's tapered point design. When working with thin boards,(I install cabinet's), where you need the put a screw in the side of say a half or three quarter inch board, (say cabinet door hinge), a regular bit, especially if you're drilling deep or in cheap board like MDF, will split the wood. That tapered bit won't do that. I don't suggest using an impact as it don't take long and you'll snap the bit at the quick connect and they're about $10 apiece. But they're a game changer
A vix bit, been using those for years, a fantastic tool indeed!
Thanks Leah, I bought the "INSTI-bit " kit at Rockler a while back and have used parts of it from time to time when I am doing larger projects. I forgot about the snap-over attachment for quick changes without removing the first part. More projects to complete like making new kitchen cabinet doors with "European hidden hinges ". J K
good stuff. you have a knack for explaining products and processes.

Those rockwell self centering pilot drill bits are good, but I prefer Vix Bits.. they seem to hold up a lot longer.
I like that! Will look for one for myself.
🙂
Like your chanel I allways hit the like botton
thanks
Nicest thing is the perfect centers.
yes, I really appreciated that as well. 🙂
As a sister tool junkie, of course I love this video, Leah!
🙂👍
Really? I've always use the drill bit to directly do the hole without that "fancy" tool and without removing the hinge.
Like everyone says, it’s cool. But that’s it. $80 is too pricy when it’s free to just swap the bit. Cool, but not practical to the wallet. I don’t think beginners will be interested.
Maybe professionals would find it useful because their time is money. But even then the savings on time is just a few seconds.
At one time when most of us referred to them as Vics or vicks bits they were $40 but now many companies make them and they are less expensive
It may be cool but not $85 worth of cool.
Good good job .great explanation. I HOPE you don't take the 'thumbs down' folks seriously. I cannot believe anyone would give a thumbs down for someone trying to help others. So I'm giving 79 THUMBS UP to equalize those that gave you the thumbs down. Keep up the tutorials.
Thanks... love your videos. But this "cool tool" is worth maybe $15, not $75. And the time savings, if all works right, is not enough to justify the cost. There's the problem: IF all works right. One of the countersink bits snapped right away. And, the collar around the hole-drilling bit you first showed, loads up when drilling in soft wood, and it isn't easy to clean, thereby destroying any time advantage. The pouch it comes in is of inferior quality, and doesn't even fit all the items. I prefer the old notch-mark-drill method, which is simplicity in itself. Love your recommendations, but this is one tool that will gather dust in the bin of parts under my work bench.
It's a cool tool but it's a little pricey for me. I don't do a lot of carpentry but I could see this being a real time saver for someone that does.
Bruce L. This unit is costly, but other people make units like this minus the sleeve attachment.
Cabinet shops and furniture building. I've mounted hundreds of custom made doors using these to quickly pilot the Salice hinges, etc.... Can adjust the plunge depth also I believe....
It should only be about ten of your earth bucks. :¬D
Cheaper than buying and using two separate drill/drivers for a job, but if you already have the two drill/drivers with one set up with the centering drill and the other with the countersink, it is quicker to use the 2 drill set up than to keep changing the sleeve around, and you would save about $90 considering the sales tax, etc. At $30 to $40, even with a less complete set, it might be worth trying out. Thanks for the video.
hi Leah, can you please make a video about the Sosa hinges? i would like to use them on kitchen doors 18mm
thanks in advance
best regards 👍
Too cool! $85? Too much! And you left $85 just sitting in your tool box? Too rich!
Ohh i wish i had that when i was building my pirate ship😌
That is cool Leah, funny I got a similar set for Christmas several years ago and have never used it. I will be trying it out now since I've seen you show how handy it is. Thanx!
Until you swap out a driver bit for a drill bit a dozen or more times, you've no idea how handy this is.
Interesting... on the countersink, at 4:10, you reversed the drill to take the bit out. I've never done that. Is there any advantage to reversing or is this just a habit you developed?
O yeah these are in every cabinet shop. Be careful and keep your particular plane of angle straight..... I think I've broken a couple of the bits inside. Thanks for the cool tool expose.
They[re called "vix bits" and have been around for a long time.
Very long time! Decades.
Saying with Respect.
Yup. SE Vick Tool Vix bits. Use them all the time.
Just subscribed. Should have done it a long time ago. You're a great teacher and I learn a lot! You do a fantastic job.
thank you, Dave!
I agree she just has a great way of explaining things and I've been in the trade for 18years 😂👍🏼🔨
Never hang a door with drywall screws, always use steel wood screws. Drywall screws are too narrow and brittle.
Oh, _~bleep bleeping~_ right it's a cool
tool! That is _REALLY_ cool, in fact! Especially since I never, ever liked a quick change drill chuck, and this bypasses that disaster (IMO - I know people who like those chucks) of a situation. 😉
I know this is a 3 year old video, but dayum, this needs _seen,_ so here's here's comment for that Almighty Algorithm so maybe it'll get in people's feeds to be seen!
Good video. It's nice but not very realistic that you put all three pilot holes dead center by eye-balling. I've maybe done this five times in the past 40 years. That's why the centering drill bits or the hinge-pin-punch always do a better job.
Critical to usefulness are 1. Does the driver over-sleeve fall off? 2. How out of balance is that long over-sleeve (this is because phillips head screws-- still standard for hinge butts is so wobbly-as it was designed to be 100 years ago (and never fixed)).
Looks like a pretty good system, but it should be shorter overall length, and the countersink drill bits should be easily and inexpensively replaced. I'll break one of those bits about every four hours of working with it. ( I should just set up a grinder rig to make these out of 3/16" bits and to grind back to center broken off ones). Short comings with these countersink/drill bits has probably sold more self-drilling 'drywall-type' screws than anything else.
Cool tool, but US$110 inc S&H and duties to the UK? I'll pass!
Unfortunately that full kit isn't available from Amazon UK.
Leah, I enjoy your videos and still clicked LIKE on this one BUT, it looks like you used drywall screws on your hinge. I sure hope not.
Expensive version of a centering drill bit and a countersinking drill bit. Unless one was doing this all day long, the separate components are cheaper in both the short and long run. No kidding, for the excess price of that kit, just buy a second drill!
It saves my work but does not save my money. The price is $79.99 a set beyond my affordability. Sorry.
Can you direct me to your video or can you make a video about putting on a exterior door skin/face as I have two very odd sized doors and repairing them would be be cheaper.
Nice good work Leah, I'm in the 🇵🇭 Phil. God bless
That is a cool tool Leah! And lately. YOUVE been my cool tool! I'm learning so much from you. I just love your videos!
They should put your video on their website. until i watched your video I thought this tool made absolutely no sense whatsoever
For $85.00 I will just use 2 drill/ drivers …..🤮🤮🤮
One of my favorite tool. I have it in a variety of sizes and I used often for centering in all kinds of holes. Thanks for sharing.
🙂👍
Thank you Leah, awesome tool. Blessings.
Cool tool. Love your channel Leah. Any new videos coming?
Thanks that is cool. Countersinking bits are always a problem though. The most-used ones are those with pilot hole bits 3mm less - the bits are easily broken and the collars move.
Holy Crap ~ Who Knew ~ Thanks! OXOX
surprised to see you use a Robinson most Americans don't seem to use them.
I believe the square drive is called a Robertson drive. If you like them, McFeely’s in Lynchburg VA specializes in them and in other speciality fasteners.
@@Anonymous-it5jw here in Canada we use them for almost every thing.

Auntie, how do I use a countersink bit with dowels?
It is a cool tool. Years ago I saw some professionals do a video review of the multitool vibrating sander cutter when it first came out on the market. They panned it. Boy, they missed that one. It's easy to miss something but it takes a special person to take a second look and in the new light display what was once missed. Nice video good job.
David Fricker thanks!
pretty cool video & pretty cool tool for also it's pretty darn expensive
I've never been a fan of those hinge drill bits. Bought a set of 3 a few years back but just didn't like them. That sleeve looks great though! Another nice video thanks 🔨👍🏼
Very cool tool.
Thanks again Leah!
I learn so much from you. So glad I found your channel.
Muchas gracias mándame saludos soy tu seguidor número uno
I have a similar tool different design but this one is nice as well.
the drill bit is tapered for trad tapered screws
Amazing helpful tips.
Thank you. Keep up the good work. 😊
Very smart tool , thx for the video 👍
Tool price is VERY PRICEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are called vix bits!
I doubt this ? Will get an answer but. . . CAN it be used with a kreg pilot hole gig??? That would be wonderful ,or if there is a tool out that can be used for that as not to have to change drill bit to screw driver over and over???
Of you mean a pocket hole jig, I don't believe it would work well in tandem. The drill bit sleeve may be to large to insert into the jig.
Yikes! $86 com'on.
Been calling you 'Jane' Leah
Very cool. I want one!
After a couple of doors, you just gave yourself a pay raise. To those complaining about the cost of this tool... Time is money. Clients love to pay, for quick accurate work. They don’t like to sit around, and wait all day. Just a tad bit of food for thought.
that is a cool tool. Now I don't have to use two drills.
🙂
Wow, I've never seen anything like this. Thank you for feeding our never ending quest for making jobs easier!
🙂
I don’t know if you’ve seen the tool or not yet. But I received a little kit as a gift, called the Zach Rabbit. It’s extremely nice, well made Zach is the carpenter from Tiny House Nation. He developed these apparently, and I have to say it’s the biggest time saver ever. It’s very pricey thought. The basic kit is about $60 and the one I received was the full kit for $99 I think? It sounds like it was kinda based off of this tool kit but much much better.
Where can i buy this?
That is a really cool tool!!! ;)
Holy shit, $80? Maybe as a business investment, I suppose it is a tool that could make you money on a job site.
you gotta spend money to make money
Ms. Leah, that is pretty cool, saves not only steps, but remembering or fishing out the second or third piece one needs. I do have a question when you get time. (Sorry for being behind on y’all’s videos) it appeared that the Tool removed some of the brass plating off the hinge. It didn’t look like it interfered with the screw being set correctly but it looked like it took the countersink part off. I was wondering if you have any concerns about rust setting in?
you know, Elaine, it was just a "trick of the camera angle", because it really didn't take off any of the plating. 🙂
seejanedrill thank you so much Ms. Leah!
Meh.....for that price, I'll just use my hex-driver self-centering drill bits and a screwdriver bit in a magnetic mount.
Practical with less fuss and having to switch between/and carry a speed drill and impact driver....on my wish list...thanks Leah.....gratefully, female carpenter, Eastern Canada, MaryEllen
Definitely impressive
Self centering bits have been used by door and hardware installers for decades , the second tool never worked well. The tapered bits tend to jam and break in all but the softest woods . There is a similar tool used for installing Tapcon /masonry screws that is expensive and tends to wear out quickly
The ones I have are always off a little off, had to replace from stolen. What brand do you recommend?
Jim Carter self centering bits ? They come in different sizes matched by screw numbers , when I use one too small that happens. As for brands for pro work I like Vic's brand but I have used less expensive ones that were fine.
If your job is hanging doors you'd better have this, especially if you're self-employed. The increase in productivity pays off and puts money in your pocket day after day after day.
It is kinda neat, but it's pricey. For almost the same price, one can catch cordless drills on sale and have one for drill bit, and a 2nd for the driver. Self-centering bits are nice.
Leah you are the most positive and upbeat person on youtube.
thanks!
I really appreciate your videos. I learn a lot from each one. Thank you
you're very welcome, and thanks for watching!
Good thing you got it for free as I wont spent $80 just for that.
tools can be expensive.
Added to my wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
🙂
Nice little kit but here in the UK I'm looking at roughly $160 for it
ouch, that is really pricey!
Nothing new and *way* over priced, similar tools have been around for quite awhile now. I think mine is nicer in that rather than attach that huge Philips driver, the bit just flips around - drill bit on one end, Philips on the other.
Mass production only.. ouch $86. I will stick with my two tools drill and driver set up
I imagine another benefit of this is that your hinge isn't going to move, since the holes will be much better centered than if you mark, remove, pre-drill, put back... Will this make the door easier to plumb when hanging? Since the hinge is more likely to be set correctly, vs tipped a little, or just slightly out of square with the other hinges.
rjtumble Man, I find a way to mess it up every time. Keeping the hinge in place with a dab of CA glue would make things much more precise for me.
joedanger666 I'm about to hang a door, I'll give that a try, thanks for the tip
not very neat cut out
Glad you're showing these to folks. I've used the rockler kit for some years now. It's even better for smaller hinges, drawer slides, etc. where there are tighter tolerances. These are sometimes called Vix bits, too, not sure if that's a brand or generic name. I don't use the sleeve part, since I don't drive my hinge screws with a drill, but rather with a power screwdriver, good if I am doing a bunch of screws, or by hand for a few. I don't use the drill on hinge screws which are generally on cabinet doors made of hardwood because I want something less aggressive, smaller and easier to control. Not so likely to strip out the screws, overtighten, etc. So, the sleeve has a place, but I've never used it because of the type of projects I do. The (Vix) hinge bits are great for both speed and accurcy, I wouldn't be without them. They are pricey, but I got them when on sale when they are more affordable.
Sleevie wonder lol
Where buy how much
I have a bit that goes into the drill chuck. You can drill a pilot hole, then pull off the part at the end and flip it around and your Phillips bit is there to drive home screws.
Wow, 😂😂😂
I actually blew on my phone after you drilled the counter sink hole. LOL. But don't tell anybody
Another cool took is that ryobi door hinge jig they sell at home depot for $20. Makes mortising hinges for a door a 1 min job.
Brilliant tool .
Just went to order but sadly they don't ship to the UK. Shame. I'll have to search elsewhere.
Thank you. Too pricey for me. Worth it I am sure for a frequent door hanger as time is money. Thank you for another awesome presentation.
Great Video!

Has anyone else noticed NON-seejanedrill videos have been inserted into her "liked videos playlist"?
Pretty cool, I especially liked the drill bit with the counter sink combo. Never seen that before. I was planning on having a drill with the counter and another one with the drill bit in order to save time. XD
self centering drills are a must have
I like Vix Bits from SE Vick Tool. Best self centering bits for the job!
Excellent!
