Trend Snappy 4-Piece Countersink & Plug Cutter Set, 1/4 Inch Hex Shank, Quick Release System, SNAP/PC/A

I tried another brand and had problems with the cutter dulling and burning my plugs. I whipped out 50 plugs with the smaller cutter using a hand held drill, I had a few fails but lots of good plugs, most of the fails were faults in the wood and trying to cut to close to the previous plug. The plugs have a slight taper and fit snuggly in the pilot hole. Having read previous reviews I’ll make a jig with a bit of thin ply to stop the skittering. Very pleased not to be making fires anymore. I really like fitting plugs over my visible screws and these cutters are going to increase productivity and reduce the strain on my drill.

Ideal tool for making wood plugs to hide screw heads in an oak feature wall project. It is best if you have a pillar drill to keep the plug cutters vertical as they have a tendency to skid across the surface of the wood when starting the cut. If you only have a hand drill then make a template out of scrap wood, drill a hole big enough to take the plug cutter and then clamp it to the piece you are making the plugs from. Drill in a few millimeter's to make a full circle then remove the template to finish cutting the plug to full depth. I broke the supplied 3.25mm drill and didn't have a replacement but managed easily using a 3.0mm one.Tip - good video on Youtube showing how to cut off and finish the fitted plug without marking your surrounding wood.

Back inn the 70's/80's, Stanley tools sold "Screwmate" counter bores and pellet cutters, which were one piece drills and when the small end broke off they had little use. I had seen counter bores like this previously, but with no accompanying pellet cutters. I was a DT teacher for nigh on 40 years, and managed to get my technicians to make various tools like this too. These are a great find for me, and at a very reasonable price too.

Perfect tool making holes and matching plugs. Takes a bit of practice with a spare bit of wood to get used to cutting the plugs to the right depth to get a slight chamfer on the leading edge and breaking them out but once you have that it super fast. I can't comment on the longevity as I'm just a DIY bloke but they work brilliantly for that. Wish I'd bought them 20 years ago

Excellent set - only used a few times, so can't comment on how long they'll stay sharp for. I found the plug cutter skated across the surface of the wood when used in a hand held drill. So made a guide / jig by drilling holes through a scrap piece of wood, (14 mm hole for small cutter and 21 mm for large). Worked fine.

Rubbish. The 10mm plug cutter just disintegrated on me after a hand full of uses. The prongs just sheared off. Don't waste your money.

A bit expensive, but it does the job. Note that it is difficult to get good results hand held - I used a pillar drill so the plugs are cut cleanly.

I tried some cheaper alternatives to these from Screwfix but ended up returning them and buying these.No burning out on oak with these and they cut clean without issues.Used with a drill press and not too fast. Let them cut rather than force making the plugs.
