    Easier for beginners

    I've had a little play with this drill bit (it only arrived today) and it's definitely easier for a beginner, like me. It will take a while to use it well on my non-dominant hand but I'll get there .....

    Super easy to use

    I was a bit nervous about using a drill for the first time so bought this bit as it was recommend for beginners. It is super easy to use and the rounded edge makes it feel safe around the edges of the nail. I wish this was the bit which came with the drill.

    Great Piece

    Really good drill bit - I think this is the piece that should come with the drill when you purchase it as so many beginners buy the drill and this is the perfect starter bit - or at least have an option to swap out for this one. So fast and easy to use this.
