Robert Bosch Tool Group NS1017 Nail Strike Bit 1-1/4x6

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP NS1017 is a nail-strike wood boring bit engineered for drilling through wood that contains embedded nails. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this bit combines high-speed wood boring with reinforced nail-cutting durability. The fully threaded cone tip pulls the bit through material quickly without requiring excessive feed pressure. A contoured paddle design promotes faster chip removal, reducing heat buildup and maintaining cut speed in dense or nail-laden lumber. The hex shank provides a secure grip in a wide range of drill chucks and quick-change drivers. This bit is sold in a package of 5.

The NS1017 is suited for rough framing, remodel work, and electrical or plumbing rough-ins where drilling through existing wood members is unavoidable and hidden fasteners are common. It performs in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and reclaimed material where nails, screws, or staples may be present. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors frequently reach for this bit type when boring through plates, joists, or studs during retrofit installations where the framing has already been fastened.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by qualified tradespeople familiar with corded or cordless drill operation. Confirm the drill chuck is rated for a hex shank before use and verify the bit is fully seated before applying power. When drilling through existing framing suspected to contain fasteners, wear appropriate eye protection and maintain a firm two-hand grip on the drill. Withdraw the bit periodically during deep bores to clear chips and prevent binding.
