.Description
The Irwin 88708 Speedbor is a professional-grade spade drill bit designed for boring clean, precise holes in wood. Its extra-long 16-inch flat-profile design enables deep drilling through thick lumber, structural applications, and large-scale woodworking projects without wobble or chatter. The grooved hex shank locks securely in any standard drill chuck or quick-change system, preventing slipping during heavy drilling and delivering consistent torque transfer for reliable performance.
This spade bit tackles demanding wood-boring tasks while minimizing common problems like wood splintering and breakout. The engineered geometry and dual-spur edge design produce burr-free holes with clean, smooth edges, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary finishing work. Whether you're framing a deck, installing hardware, routing conduit, or completing carpentry projects, this bit speeds up the job and improves overall accuracy on the worksite.
