Robert Bosch Tool Group DSB1001 Spade Bit 1/4x6 Inch 5pk

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSB1001 is a 1/4-inch by 6-inch spade bit designed for fast, clean drilling through wood framing, sheeting, and structural lumber. The full cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the material without manual pressure, keeping the drill on path and reducing operator fatigue. A contoured paddle accelerates chip removal, and spur reamer tips score the perimeter of the hole before the paddle clears the waste, leaving a cleaner edge. The 1/4-inch hex shank seats directly in impact drivers and standard drills with a hex chuck. Sold in a 5-piece pack, this bit is a field-ready supply for electricians, plumbers, and general contractors drilling rough-in penetrations.

The DSB1001 fits typical rough-in and remodel drilling tasks where a 1/4-inch hole through wood is needed at extended reach. The 6-inch overall length with a 5-inch drilling depth gives enough clearance to drill through a standard stud or plate from one side. It is well suited for residential framing and light commercial work where electricians and plumbers need to run conduit, wire, or pipe through wood members without staging multiple shorter bits.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any drill or impact driver accepting a 1/4-inch hex shank. Suitable for drilling through softwood, hardwood, and engineered lumber typical in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases. Confirm the drilling path is clear of existing wiring, piping, and structural fasteners before drilling. Secure loose workpieces before starting the bit to prevent workpiece spin. Follow all applicable NEC or IPC clearance requirements when drilling near structural members or existing utilities.
