    hollow ground (Not for drilling dirt, but...."
    Unfortunately, I had to drill holes through wood into dirt. That dulled the edge. I previously used Stanley bits which seemed OK. But I never was successful at sharpening them. I had noticed that these bits had unusual looking cutting edges. Once I started sharpening I realized that the broad edges are hollow ground. . Worked for a while with a triangular file and dang, it cuts pretty well. Altogether much nicer than the old Stanley bits.

    I can't tell you how many times prior to receiving this tool that I wish I'd had it while working on HVAC air handlers and furnaces. This tool has already bailed me out a couple times while trying to extract sequencers and other related components mounted to the back of the units. Seriously, if your in the HVAC trade, this is one of those tools that will save time and reduce frustration. I don't have any problems with the way other impacts bits fit into it. Yep, you have to slide the spring catch back and release it to lock the bit in. Easy business. The extension seems to be very well made and so far has performed flawlessly, exactly what I've come to expect from Dewalt. I had two sequencers that needed to be changed in a Mobile home, the liquid, suction, and condensate drain were located directly in front of the component. Not enough room to get an impact in there, my regular 6" extension bits wouldn't reach. Without this tool, It was either going to be a stubby screw driver or go back to the truck to get a ratchet set. Pulled out this extension, inserted my 6" bit extension, and bam screws were removed. Time and or trip to truck saved. Highly recommend picking one of these up if your in the HVAC trade.

    I had originally bought just the 12" version of this and ended up using it quite often. Occasionally I found the 12" to be too long, but needed some extension. Cue this 6" version. Honestly, given how much I use this and the 12" version, I should have bought both long ago. Well worth it.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014
    Size: 1.5 x 6 InchStyle: 1-1/2-InchVerified Purchase
    Purchased this spade for bring electrical lines run from the garage into the house after laying my conduit. I ran 12-2 NMB through a 3/4 inch PVC and used this to run the pvc line into the house (not sure on the 'code', but seems obvious wire won't be exposed to elements if you run the whole PVC into the house.)

    This went through siding well and pretty darn thick plywood which was on top of basement exterior joist, even works well at very slow speed.

    SAFETY WARNING: If you've never used a spade this large (or any big bit), be VERY careful, this can and will break your hand if it catches unexpectedly - which happens all the time. I would recommend using your battery powered drill/driver if you have one with this. If you insist on using full power driver, I highly recommend you drill with your palm and thumb on the left side of the drill, so if it catches you drop the drill and save your hand. This is not the fault of the big, just the nature of drilling with a large bit in general.

    Overall, this went quickly through wood and seems very durable. Very exterior walls, this is will not go all the way through, you should get an very long narrow bit for a pilot hole and then go in as deep as you can from each end.``

    5.0 out of 5 stars drills a clean recessed hole for a bolt
    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019
    Size: Pack of 1Style: 1-InchVerified Purchase
    I needed to recess some bolt heads in wood (5/16" bolts). No standard spade bit will drill a clean recessed hole for something like a bolt anymore. They're all super hyper aggressive and rip the wood to shreds. This is the only bit left on the market I think that still does a clean recessed hole. It doesn't have those extended end-tip points (whatever) that all the other bits have which pre-gouge the outer edges of the hole and further mutilate the wood as its cutting. Just the opposite. This bit has tapered-up edges if you notice in the picture. And coincidentally, the remaining flat bottom of the recessed hole before the taper fits a 5/16" bolt washer perfectly. It must have been made for this use. And a socket wrench fits easily in the hole to turn the bolt.

    (Hint, to further reduce the pull-in aggressiveness, pre-drill a small started hole so that the center of the spade bit doesn't want to pull even harder into the wood. It gives you good control of how fast you go down. But don't pre-drill a big hole, otherwise the spade bit will wander all over the place.)

    Se siente la calidad de construcción de la broca paleta, la diferencia sobre otras marcas que he usado, es la cantidad de material que tiene en la parte central, esto ayuda a eliminar las vibraciones y da más resistencia a la torsión. El filo es muy bueno y la recomendaría ampliamente para destornilladores de impacto.

    Awesome! This bit looks to be made of good quality hard metal. It works great! It just cuts through wood, like butter. Very sharp and effective. I never thought that I'd get so excited about a drill bit, but this will be in my tool box for many, many years to come. I'm think about getting different sizes, even though I won't have a use for them in the near future.
