Robert Bosch Tool Group DLSB1005 Spade Bit 5 Pack

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DLSB1005 is a Daredevil spade bit designed for fast, aggressive boring through wood framing, sheathing, and structural lumber. The full cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the material for effortless entry without excessive downward pressure. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 16 inches in total length, this bit delivers a 15 inch drilling depth, making it well suited for boring through thick framing members or stacked materials. The 0.25 inch hex shank with a power groove design reduces slippage in bit holders and impact-rated chucks. This package contains 5 bits.

This spade bit is used in residential and light commercial rough-in work by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to bore through wood studs, plates, and joists for wire, pipe, or duct penetrations. The extended 16 inch length allows drilling through double top plates and deep framing bays without an extension. Contoured paddle geometry and spur and reamer tips at the outer edges of the blade produce cleaner hole edges and faster chip ejection, keeping the bit moving efficiently through the cut.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians performing rough-in penetrations through wood framing. Ensure the drill or driver chuck is fully seated on the hex shank before applying power. When boring through fire-rated assemblies or near structural members, follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC requirements for hole size and location relative to framing edges. Wear appropriate eye protection during use, as spade bits eject chips at high velocity.
