Robert Bosch Tool Group NS1013 Nail Strike Bit 1x6

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP NS1013 is a 1-inch by 6-inch Nail Strike wood boring bit engineered for drilling through lumber that contains embedded nails. The reinforced reamer cutting edges are built to handle nail contact without sacrificing bit integrity, making this an appropriate choice for renovation, remodel, and rough-in work where reclaimed or used framing is involved. A fully threaded cone tip draws the bit through wood quickly, reducing feed force on the operator. The contoured paddle design promotes faster chip evacuation, which maintains cutting speed in deep-bore applications. Package quantity is 5 bits per pack.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction and remodeling applications where wood members may contain staples, nails, or other embedded fasteners. Typical use cases include running conduit, pipe, or cable through existing wall and floor framing. The hex shank design allows the bit to seat in standard drill chucks as well as quick-change hex chuck systems, giving electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers flexibility across common cordless and corded drill platforms.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically installed and used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases. Always secure the workpiece before boring and wear appropriate eye protection, as nail contact can eject metal fragments. Ensure the drill is set to an appropriate speed for the wood type and bit diameter. Inspect each bit before use and replace any bit showing cracking, deformation, or significant edge wear.
