Milwaukee 48-27-0185 3/4x16 Spade Bit Hex Shank

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-27-0185 is a 3/4-inch by 16-inch spade bit engineered for clean, fast wood hole drilling in demanding jobsite conditions. The patented cutting edge design improves boring speed over conventional spade bit models while removing chips efficiently to keep the hole clear during the cut. Double wing spurs reduce vibration and guide the bit into consistent, clean hole formation. The 1/4-inch quick-change hex shank is compatible with all universal Quik-Lok extensions, making it a practical choice for electricians and rough-in carpenters drilling through deep framing members or stacked plates.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where long-reach drilling through wood framing, joists, and studs is required. Electricians routinely use extended spade bits like the 48-27-0185 when running conduit or wire through multiple framing members without repositioning. The 16-inch length gives adequate reach for most single-pass through-stud applications. It is intended for use in cordless or corded drills and compatible extension systems.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by trade professionals including electricians and carpenters using any drill or driver with a 1/4-inch hex chuck. Always confirm the work area is clear of embedded fasteners or utility lines before drilling through framing. Secure the workpiece before drilling and operate at appropriate speed for the material thickness. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace the bit if the spurs or edge show signs of deformation.
