Tempo Communications 33l-1 Spade Drill Bit 1x16 Inch

Product Description

The TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS 33l-1 is a long spade drill bit designed for boring through wood and drywall in low-voltage and structured wiring installations. At 1 inch in diameter and 16 inches in length, it gives technicians the reach needed to drill through wall cavities, floor joists, and framing without requiring extensions. The extra length makes it well suited for fishing cable runs through thick structural members. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and data-cabling technicians are the primary users of this type of bit.

This spade bit is built for boring through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall. It is commonly used during rough-in work when running coaxial, Cat5e, Cat6, speaker wire, or security cabling through framing and building materials. The 16-inch reach is particularly useful in new construction and retrofit jobs where access is limited and standard-length bits fall short.

Key Features

• 1-inch diameter cutting head for clean, consistent bore holes
• 16-inch overall length provides extended reach into wall cavities and framing
• Compatible with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall
• Long shank design eliminates the need for a separate bit extension in most applications
• Suited for low-voltage and structured wiring rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard working bit for use with corded or cordless drills accepting standard hex or round shanks in low-voltage and electrical rough-in applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and data cabling installers. Before drilling through any structural member, verify that no energized conductors, plumbing lines, or gas piping are present in the bore path. Secure the workpiece or confirm framing is stable before applying drilling pressure. Follow all applicable local building codes and OSHA safety guidelines when working in wall cavities or elevated areas.
