Robert Bosch Tool Group DSB1010 Spade Bit 13/16x6 in

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSB1010 is a 13/16-inch by 6-inch spade bit from the Daredevil line, designed for fast, clean boring through wood and wood-based materials. It features a full cone threaded tip that pulls the bit into the material for effortless entry, reducing the effort needed to start and maintain a hole. The contoured paddle accelerates chip removal to keep the bore clear during the cut, while the spur and reamer tips score the perimeter of the hole for a cleaner, more defined edge. The 1/4-inch hex shank provides a secure, quick-change fit in compatible drills and drill/drivers. This bit is suited for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters who need to bore clean holes through framing and structural members.

This spade bit is used in residential and light commercial construction and renovation applications where clean, fast wood boring is required. Typical uses include boring through wall studs, floor joists, and plates for wire, conduit, or pipe runs. The 6-inch overall length and 5-inch drilling depth allow it to reach through standard lumber dimensions without extensions. The package includes 5 bits, making it practical for production work or job-site stocking.
