Robert Bosch Tool Group NS1007 Nail Strike Spade Bit 5/8x6

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP NS1007 is a nail-killing wood boring spade bit engineered for drilling through wood that contains embedded nails, screws, or other metal fasteners. Sized at 5/8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it is built with reinforced reamer cutting edges that hold up where standard spade bits fail. A fully threaded cone tip pulls the bit through the workpiece quickly without requiring excessive feed pressure. The contoured paddle design accelerates chip removal, keeping the flutes clear and maintaining cut speed. A hex shank ensures a secure grip in the chuck and allows the bit to seat in a wide range of corded and cordless drill types. This bit is sold in a package of 5.

The NS1007 is designed for rough-in and remodel work where lumber has been previously nailed or where drilling through nail-embedded framing, subfloor, or structural members is unavoidable. Typical users include electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to bore through existing framing to run conduit, pipe, or duct penetrations. The reinforced construction makes it suitable for repetitive production drilling in remodel and retrofit applications where encountering fasteners is expected rather than exceptional.

Installation Notes

This bit is intended for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other trades performing rough-in boring through framing. Always disconnect power or confirm that no live electrical conductors are present in the drilling path before boring through existing walls or framing. Use appropriate eye and hand protection when drilling through nail-embedded wood, as metal fragments can be ejected at high velocity. Follow applicable trade codes, including NEC, IFGC, and IPC, for minimum clearances and protection requirements when routing mechanical systems through structural members.
