Robert Bosch Tool Group DSB1002 Spade Bit 5/16x6

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSB1002 is a 5/16-inch by 6-inch spade bit designed for fast, clean boring through wood framing, sheeting, and similar substrates. The full cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the material without requiring excessive feed pressure, reducing operator fatigue on repetitive drilling tasks. A contoured paddle profile accelerates chip removal and helps prevent clogging in deep cuts. Spur and reamer tips at the outer edges of the paddle score the hole perimeter before the main blade clears material, producing cleaner hole walls with less tear-out. A 1/4-inch hex shank provides secure, quick-change tool-holder compatibility. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and general carpenters reach for this bit when running wire or pipe through structural members.

The DSB1002 is suited to residential and light commercial rough-in work where holes must be bored through plates, joists, and studs at depth. The 6-inch overall length and 5-inch drilling depth allow penetration through doubled framing members or thick rim boards in a single pass without an extension. The package contains 5 bits, making it practical for larger projects or crew use where individual bits are distributed across multiple tool bags.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by licensed electricians, plumbers, and carpenters performing rough-in work. Confirm the work area is clear of live wiring, active pipe, and fasteners before drilling. Use appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces to prevent movement. Follow NEC or IPC clearance requirements when boring near structural members or locating holes for wire and pipe routing.
