Dewalt DW1571 Spade Bit 5/16x6 Inches Wood Boring

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1571 is a 5/16-inch by 6-inch spade bit designed for wood boring applications in residential and light commercial construction. The extended 6-inch length allows reach into deep cavities, framing members, and wall assemblies where standard-length bits fall short. At 0.08 pounds, the bit is lightweight enough for extended overhead or confined-space drilling. Electricians, plumbers, and carpenters rely on this style of bit for running wire, conduit, and pipe through wood framing during rough-in work.

This bit is suited for use in wood framing, rough carpentry, and trade rough-in scenarios. The 5/16-inch diameter makes it a common choice for drilling wire-fishing paths and small-diameter holes through studs, joists, and plates. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drill chucks.
