The Daredevil Spade Bit was created to answer the needs of electricians, plumbers and other professional users for greater speed, ease of use and hole quality. Since its introduction, millions of users have turned to Bosch Daredevil for a design that’s unparalleled in its performance.
“This is a real milestone for Bosch and a testament to our attention to smart tool design,” says Ana Michelini, channel/product manager, Bosch Accessories. “The Daredevil Spade Bit shows how a design enhancement can fundamentally change the way trade pros use power tools. These bits not only save time, but help the user reduce fatigue because the bit does the work.”
While other wood-drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast feeding, Bosch has incorporated a full-cone threaded tip that increases not only the speed of the bit but also ease of drilling.
Another feature of the Daredevil is the contoured paddle. This wave-like shape facilitates chip removal, which adds to the speed of the bit. The combination of these two features creates astonishing results: In independent testing, the Daredevil Spade Bit was 10x faster and required 53 percent less force than conventional spade bits.
It doesn't end there. While spade bits are not expected to produce anything beyond average hole quality, the Daredevil is not your average spade bit. The spur-and-reamer design is unique because it not only scores the wood for a clean entry hole, but also has angled cutting edges that cut the hole for reduced breakout leaving a cleaner exit hole than any competitor’s bit.
Bosch Daredevil spade bits are available in a range of sizes and are sold individually or in sets.
