Milwaukee Elec Tool 48-27-0170 Stub Spade Bit 3/8 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 48-27-0170 is a 3/8 inch stub spade bit engineered for clean, fast wood hole drilling in tight spaces where a full-length bit cannot reach. The bit features double wing spurs that reduce vibration during use, allowing for easier hole formation and minimizing breakout on the exit side. A patented cutting edge design improves chip removal and heat dissipation compared to conventional flat boring bits, keeping the tool cooler during repeated use. The 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank is compatible with all universal Quik-Lok extensions, giving installers flexibility across a range of applications.

This stub spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial wood boring tasks where working clearance is limited, such as drilling through framing, blocking, or rough-in lumber in confined areas. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians performing rough-in work commonly reach for a stub bit when standard-length bits are too long for the available space. The bit ships in a package quantity of six, making it practical for stocking a service truck or job box. Each unit is sold individually as a single piece.

Use appropriate eye protection when drilling, and confirm there are no hidden fasteners or utilities in the work area before drilling through structural lumber.
