Description
The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP DSB1008 is a 11/16-inch by 6-inch spade bit engineered for fast, clean boring in wood and wood-based materials. Part of the Daredevil line, it features a full cone threaded tip that pulls the bit into the material without requiring heavy downward pressure, reducing operator fatigue. The contoured paddle design accelerates chip removal to keep the hole clear and the bit cool during use. Spur and reamer tips at the outer edges score the entry point before the paddle clears material, producing cleaner hole walls with less tearout. The 1/4-inch hex shank provides a secure, positive lock in standard quick-change chucks. Drilling depth reaches 5 inches, making it well suited for through-boring framing lumber and similar applications. Package quantity is 5 bits.
This spade bit is intended for use by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who need to bore holes through wood framing, subflooring, joists, and similar structural members. The 11/16-inch diameter is a common size for running conduit, cable, or smaller supply lines through framing. The 6-inch overall length provides the reach needed to work in tighter framing bays without an extension. The 1/4-inch hex shank is compatible with standard power drills and impact-rated drill/drivers equipped with a quick-change chuck adapter.
