Freud DSP2040 Speed Demon Spade Bit 7/16x6 Inch 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DSP2040 is a Speed Demon spade bit designed for fast, clean drilling in wood. Measuring 7/16 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this bit features a high-performance speed-tip that self-feeds into the material, reducing operator effort and increasing drilling speed compared to traditional spade bits. The optimized curved paddle design accelerates chip evacuation, keeping the cutting path clear and allowing more holes per battery charge on cordless tools. The shank is impact-rated for use in both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers, providing added stability and durability under high-torque conditions. This package includes 5 bits.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking and construction applications where fast, repeatable hole boring is required. Typical uses include drilling through framing lumber, sheathing, and dimensional lumber for running wire, pipe, or conduit. The 6-inch length provides additional reach for through-wall and between-stud applications. Compatible with standard impact drivers and drill drivers, making it a practical choice for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters working in new construction or renovation environments.
