I made one of them years ago yes they do grip the wood well but to be honest I dont think they are worth the bother a dead centre dose the job just as well for them to be most effective your large hole has to be exactly the right depth so that both parts of the drive are in contact with wood
Another way is to just put a hard bit of wood or aluminium in your chuck and turn it to a point and use that as a dead centre that way you can make it to your own specification
