Sized at 3\/8 inch in diameter with a 16-inch overall length, it provides the reach needed for running wire or conduit through wall studs, floor joists, and framing members. Electricians and low-voltage technicians rely on long spade bits like this to drill clean through-holes in tight framing cavities without repositioning. The extended shank keeps the bit on axis through thick assemblies, reducing drift and tearout on exit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for residential and light commercial installation work where cables, wiring, or tubing must pass through structural framing. It handles hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall, making it practical across a range of field conditions. Electricians, data and low-voltage installers, and HVAC technicians drilling refrigerant or control-wire pathways will find the 3\/8-inch diameter appropriate for standard wire bundle pass-throughs and single-run penetrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch cutting diameter sized for standard wire and cable pass-throughs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-inch overall length provides reach through deep framing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended shank reduces bit deflection in confined framing bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8-inch or larger chuck corded and cordless drills used in electrical, low-voltage, and HVAC rough-in applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed electrician or low-voltage installer typically uses spade bits of this length during rough-in, before drywall is hung. Secure the workpiece or confirm framing is structurally supported before drilling. Wear appropriate eye protection, as long spade bits can produce aggressive chip ejection at speed. Comply with applicable NEC or local building code requirements regarding hole placement and distance from fasteners when drilling through framing members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardwood, Softwood, Plywood, Drywall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33l-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525098406194,"sku":"33L-3\/8","price":19.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5ce0c94a4e3bfeae7e614cd6d8a46664.jpg?v=1785464357","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tempo-communications-33l-3-8-spade-drill-bit-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
