Spade bits are used for rough boring in wood. Spade bits are flat, with a centering point and two cutters. The cutters are often equipped with spurs in an attempt to ensure a cleaner hole. Intended for high speed use, they are used with electric hand drills. Spade bits are also sometimes referred to as “paddle bits”. Available in 1/4″ – 1-1/2″.
Made from S2 modified shock resistant steel for professional performance and durability. Featuring a patented spiral torsion zone absorbs impact and extends bit life. Proprietary precision CNC machined tips for excellent fit in fastener recess. Tested to outperform all leading brands in lifecycle and tip failure testing. Made with a high strength industrial magnet for securing your bits.
Durable hardened cutting edge for long life in tough materials, including nail-embedded wood. Fully-forged bit for maximum durability. Wide flutes for maximum chip removal and less binding. Aggressive screw-pitch for faster drilling. 5/16″ – 1-1/2″ in 6″ and 18″ length.
Countersinking screws is a often used method for ensuring a flush surface, without bumps of screwheads getting in the way. These cross-hole countersinks are specially designed so that the trailing edge of the hole makes the cut, and they excel at ejecting chips as they drill. Made of strong steel, they ensure years of precision work. Available in a 9 piece or 4 piece set.

Paddle bits, also called spade bits, have a wide, flat blade. They are commonly used by tradesmen such as electricians and plumbers for drilling holes through studs in walls for running wiring or pipes (auger bits and hole saws are also used for this), but they also have a place in the woodshop for drilling on fine woodworking projects. An extension kit is available for the extreme jobs. It includes a 12″ extension shaft, and a bent-hex tool to securely tighten the retaining screws when the paddle bit is installed. (See image.)
