When is a Vix Bit not a Vix Bit
I take complete responsibility for not carefully reading the description. These are not real Vix Bits made in the USA, they are "Vix style" bits made in Taiwan. That being said, I still give them 4 stars because they seem to be quality tools. -
Quality tools
These bits work great. Much beefier than my old ones. -
good and bad
I had hoped they were made in USA however, the spring seems much stronger than friend's set i hsd borrowed, so i am hopeful -
Vix Bits
They actually work -
Very Handy
I picked a few of these up for my guys on a project we are working on. Helped streamline transfer punching and speeding assembly! Fast shipping from GW too and kicka** pricing! -
Replacement Bits
Hard to find proper size replacement bits nice. -
Almost Perfect
These work perfectly as advertised. One star deduction for not including a 5/64 hex wrench when buying a complete set. I like to keep a dedicated when to sets that require a wrench." -
Hinge Installations
I just loved these drill bits as it is so much easier to center holes for installing hinges and accessories. -
Excelente

Vix Bits
The Vix bits turned the very frustrating experience of trying to center the tiny screws on a brass butt hinge into a piece of cake. Perfect every time. Thanks Garrett Wade. -
Great Price
Great price for 5 bits. -
Very Handy Tools
These Vix Bits" take a lot of worry out of aligning and centering hinges and latches. Great to have in the tool box." -
Why Did I Wait So Long?
I am a fairly cynical person when it comes to gadgets that purport to make my life easier, but the set of three hex shank Vix bits that I recently purchased simply work and they have definitely made my life easier when it comes to placing pilot exactly" where I want them to be placed. I am sure (I hope) that I am not the only person who has had problems in the past with installing mounting hardware because the my pilot holes ended up being off by "just a smidge..." This problem is now something that I do not have to worry about any longer and I am kicking myself for not getting the Vix bits earlier. The installation of my door hinges during my last project went without a hitch and to top it off, the installation of the hinges went much faster than ever before. Less frustration and less time is a good thing in my book..." -
Vix Bit Set
It's not easy to find a complete set of these bits. While the GW price is usually kind of dear, when they're on sale a lot more reasonable. Disappointments: The set did not come in a box (the catalog did not say there would be one, however). Also, some of the bits were engraved with the screw size, some were not. I fixed this by attaching a label to the barrel showing the bit size and what screw size #s they were for. I'll build a case for them later, right now they live in a small pouch. -
Good product
This set is a very good value. Works very smoothly. Drill is centered very well for precise hole drilling. End seats into projects well for accurate and quality finished product. Love using them. -
Vix Bits at Work
I had bought a couple of centering bits from a local dealer and when I was at work doing installations of some very pricey English door hardware, my employer noticed them and mentioned that they were like Vix Bits but not as nice. When I got home I googled Vix Bits and the link that came up was my old pal Garrett Wade. I followed the link and to my surprise Garrett Wade was having a special on the very thing that I wanted. At the usual price I might have decided to wait another pay check or two before I sprang into action but at the special price I could have a whole set of Vix Bits for about what I paid locally for the two knock-offs. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that even though I made my order on December 20th during the Christmas rush, the Vix Bits were on my porch when I got home on December 23rd. Pretty amazing. I'm very pleased with my Garrett Wade experience. -
Vix Bits
Compared to other house brands these bits offer the best fit and finish of all I have tried. Price is great on a quality set.They drill straight, adjust easily, perform well and did I mention the price? If you been waiting, get em now. -
Tumbleweed
I got the 3 piece set and these all work great. They're good and solid with a nice sturdy fell to them. They really make drilling centered holes a snap
