Robert Bosch Tool Group DSBS1015 Stubby Spade Bit 5 Pack

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSBS1015 is a stubby-length spade bit designed for fast, controlled boring in wood and wood-composite materials. Measuring 1-1/8 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this compact bit is built for tight-clearance drilling where a full-length spade bit cannot fit. The full cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the material, reducing the force needed to start and advance the hole. A contoured paddle geometry accelerates chip evacuation, and spur and reamer tips at the cutting edge produce cleaner entry and exit holes with reduced breakout. The hex shank features a power groove that locks into the chuck and resists slippage under load. Each package contains 5 bits.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work, including drilling through wall plates, joists, and framing members for plumbing pipe, electrical conduit, and low-voltage wiring runs. The stubby 4-inch overall length makes it practical when drilling in confined spaces such as inside wall cavities, behind panels, or in areas with limited bit clearance. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and general contractors routinely specify short-length spade bits for these applications. The 1-1/8-inch diameter accommodates common pipe and cable pass-through requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or carpenters during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the workpiece is secured before drilling and confirm there are no hidden utilities in the drilling path. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements for the specific trade application when sizing and locating pass-through holes.
