Robert Bosch Tool Group NS1005 Nail Strike Spade Bit

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP NS1005 is a nail-strike spade bit designed to bore through wood that contains embedded nails. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it combines high-speed wood boring with engineered nail-cutting durability. A fully threaded cone tip pulls the bit through material quickly, while reinforced reamer cutting edges handle the impact of hidden fasteners. The contoured paddle design promotes faster chip removal, keeping the bit moving efficiently. A hex shank provides a secure grip and allows use with a wide range of drill types. This bit is suited for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians drilling through existing framing during retrofit and rough-in work.

The NS1005 is intended for use in residential and light commercial applications where drilling through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, or salvaged framing is required. It is particularly well suited for retrofit installations where hidden nails are a constant hazard. Sold in a package of 5, the bit is optimized for trade professionals who drill high volumes and need consistent performance across multiple holes per job.
