Bosch DSB1012 Daredevil Spade Bit 15/16 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSB1012 is a 15/16-inch by 6-inch spade bit from the Daredevil line, engineered for fast, aggressive wood boring in trade applications. The full cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the workpiece without requiring excessive downward pressure, reducing operator fatigue on long runs. A contoured paddle design accelerates chip removal and keeps the bit cutting efficiently through thick framing, rough lumber, and engineered wood. Spur and reamer tips at the outer edges produce cleaner hole walls with less tearout. The 1/4-inch hex shank provides a secure, quick-change connection to standard power drills and impact drivers.

This bit is well suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need to bore through wood studs, joists, and plates for cable, pipe, or duct runs. The 6-inch overall length extends reach into deeper framing cavities, and the 5-inch drilling depth covers standard dimensional lumber and doubled framing members in a single pass. The package includes 5 bits, making it practical for job-site use where bit wear is a regular consideration.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, plumber, or HVAC technician typically uses spade bits during rough-in to bore through framing for wire, conduit, or pipe penetrations. Ensure all power to nearby wiring is confirmed off before drilling in finished wall or ceiling cavities. Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Consult applicable codes such as the NEC or IPC for required hole placement and protection requirements when boring through structural members.
