Contractor-grade 1-inch spade bits. 15-pack built for the working electrician. Threaded self-feed tip. Sharpenable. Built to last the whole rough-in.
The tip pulls itself through the wood — you don't push. Less effort, faster holes, longer battery life. Every hole of a 200-hole day, all day long.
A few passes with a flat file restores a dull Speedbit to near-new performance. Same lifespan as an auger bit — at a fraction of the upfront cost.
Stack any cheap, widely available 1/4" hex extension to reach deep cavities. No proprietary adapters. No expensive extras. Just get the hole done.
Running out mid-job costs you an hour and your momentum. With 15 in the pack, you swap and keep going. Never stop for a hardware store run again.
An impact driver hammers as it rotates. That chatter tears wood instead of cutting it. A drill/driver delivers smooth, consistent rotation — and spade bits glide through timber like a hot knife through butter.
Dense old-growth joists in pre-1970s homes will stall and bind an auger bit. A spade bit's scraping geometry cuts through layer by layer — no binding, no smoking, hole after clean hole.
Auger bits grab on knots and kick violently — a known wrist injury hazard on job sites. Spade bits scrape consistently and predictably. On a 200-hole day, that safety margin matters every time.
The threaded tip on Speedbit bits self-feeds through timber, drawing less power than an auger's aggressive screw-pull. Less motor strain, more battery life, less fatigue — compounding across a full rough-in.
Engineered for the working electrician. High-carbon steel, threaded self-feed tip, 1/4" hex shank. Built to drill through anything a rough-in throws at you — new lumber, old-growth oak, engineered LVL — without slowing down.
What actually makes a spade bit contractor-grade, why spade beats auger on old wood, and why buying in bulk is the only smart move for working electricians.
