Mount Prospect, Ill., September 5, 2008 – There are plenty of ways to make a hole, but a spade bit is one of the fastest and most effective accessories to accomplish this task. Often, this work is done in close quarters without the aid of light. To make life easier, Vermont American has introduced a 10-piece set of their most popular spade bits and included a LED headlamp for hands-free convenience.
These black oxide spade bits cut 3 times faster than standard spade bits due to the innovative RapidFeed™ tip. This tip is threaded like a wood screw and literally pulls the bit through the wood for fast cutting action. The pulling action of the RapidFeed™ tip means less pressure is required behind the bit making overhead applications easy on the arms and means less wear and tear on the bits and the drill.
Kits include six 6-inch bits ranging from 3/8” to 1” and three 4-inch “Stubby” bits in 1/2”, 3/4” and 1” diameters. The stubby bits are ideally suited for between joist applications or wherever space is at a premium, which plumbers, electricians and HVAC tradesmen will find extremely useful.
