Irwin IR88702 Flat Bit Extension 6 Inches 2000 Series

Product Description

The IRWIN IR88702 is a 6-inch flat bit extension designed to increase the reach of 2000 Series spade bits during wood boring applications. This extension attaches between the drill and the spade bit, allowing trades workers to drill deeper holes through framing, joists, and studs without repositioning. It is a standard accessory used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians when routing wiring or piping through wood framing assemblies. The 6-inch length adds meaningful reach in tight or deep boring situations where a standard bit alone falls short.

This extension is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where boring through multiple framing members is required. It is commonly used during new construction and remodel projects to run conduit, pipe, or wire through wood structural members. The extension is sold individually and is compatible with spade bits that accept a standard hex-shank connection.

Key Features

• Extends reach by 6 inches for deeper wood boring applications
• Designed for use with IRWIN 2000 Series flat spade bits
• Hex shank connection for secure bit-to-extension fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with IRWIN 2000 Series flat spade bits. Fits drills and drivers that accept a standard hex shank extension. Consult bit packaging for specific shank size confirmation before use.

Installation Notes

Insert the extension into the drill chuck and secure it before attaching the spade bit. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened to prevent slipping during operation. When boring through framing in occupied structures, confirm there are no hidden utilities in the drilling path. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC boring and notching requirements when drilling through structural members.
