Robert Bosch Tool Group DSBS1013 Spade Bit 1 Inch 5 Pack

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSBS1013 is a 1-inch spade bit designed for fast, clean wood boring in residential and light commercial applications. Sold in a 5-pack, it features a full cone threaded tip that pulls the bit into the workpiece for effortless entry without manual pressure. A contoured paddle geometry accelerates chip removal, reducing heat buildup during extended drilling. The hex shank power groove locks into drill chucks and impact drivers to reduce slippage under torque. These are production-grade bits suited for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters drilling through framing, joists, and studs.

The DSBS1013 is used wherever 1-inch through-holes are needed in wood substrates — rough framing, structural lumber, engineered panels, and finish carpentry. Electricians use spade bits to run conduit and cable through stud bays. Plumbers use them to bore penetrations for supply and drain lines. The 5-pack quantity suits repetitive production drilling on job sites where bit wear is expected. The hex shank is compatible with standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drill chucks as well as quick-change hex chuck systems.

Installation Notes

Spade bits are installed by carpenters, electricians, and plumbers using corded or cordless drills and hammer-drill-free rotary mode only — do not use hammer mode with spade bits. Ensure the workpiece is secured before drilling to prevent movement. Follow applicable code requirements such as NEC boring guidelines for wire protection when drilling through framing members. Inspect the bit for bent shanks or damaged spurs before each use.
