DEWALT Drill Bit, Spade, 1 Inch x 16 Inch (DW1595)

Very sharp. Solid carbon steel. Took less than 30 sec to drill through thick beam.

The DEWALT 1-Inch x 16-Inch Spade Drill Bit is a powerhouse! I used it to bore holes in trees, and it worked like a charm. The 16-inch length is perfect for getting deep into the wood, and the sharp spade design makes quick, clean cuts without any struggle. It’s super durable and holds up well, even when working with dense or harder wood. The 1-inch width gives consistent, clean holes every time, which was exactly what I needed for my project. Plus, it doesn’t overheat or dull quickly, even after extended use. This bit is a must-have for anyone needing a reliable tool for deep drilling—whether you’re working on trees, wood projects, or anything in between. DEWALT nailed it with this one. Highly recommend!

I originally bought Irwin spade bits but they would dull after only one or two holes. Theses Dewalt spade bits are much more durable and I can drill several stumps before they will eventually dull. They are easy to resharpen

Better than what is pictured, its black and has an angle on the outer edge. My other spade bits do not have this. Shredded through a pretty much solid wood wall like butter in seconds. I think I was laughing at how easy it was and how much wood was flying out. I was having problems getting through with other bits and spade bits, maybe they were a bit dull.

I got this to drill a hole in my workshop wall to run wires for my wind turbine it did the job with no problems

Bit good, drill through wood stumps like hot knife through butter.

After two drilled holes in a tree stump this bit bit the dust.

Great.
