Freud DSP3040 Speed Demon Spade Bit 3/4x16 in 5-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DSP3040 is a 3/4-inch by 16-inch Speed Demon spade bit designed for fast, clean wood boring in both cordless and corded applications. The self-feeding speed-tip design reduces the effort required to start and drive the bit through material, resulting in faster hole-making compared to traditional spade bits. A curved paddle geometry optimizes chip evacuation to extend battery runtime by reducing drag and heat buildup per hole. The shank construction is impact-rated for use in drill drivers and impact drivers without sacrificing stability or tool life. Sold in a 5-pack per package, making it a practical stocking unit for contractors and framers.

This spade bit is suited for rough-in carpentry, electrical and plumbing trades requiring wood boring through framing, blocking, and plates. The 16-inch length gives electricians and plumbers reach through standard stud bays and thick framing members without extension accessories. The 3/4-inch diameter is a common size for cable, conduit, and pipe rough-in work. Compatible with standard hex-shank drill drivers and impact drivers used across the trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill driver or impact driver is rated for spade bit use before operation. Keep the work area clear of fasteners and knots that may deflect the bit at entry. Eye protection is required when boring overhead or through layered material.
