Answer This Question

How can ?bit length? and ?drill depth? be the same? I need exactly 6? of drill depth so I?m wanting clarification on this product. Thank you in advance.

Answer This Question

The bit length and drilling depth are the same in this case, both being 6 inches. This means the spade bit can drill a hole up to 6 inches deep. If you need exactly 6 inches of drill depth, this product should be suitable for your needs.

    Can I use this to drill a hole in a metal Mason jar lid?

    Answer This Question

    You probably could drill through very thin metal but it would take a toll on the cutting edge of the drill bit.

      I don't know. I haven't tried that but I would assume so.

      By|Oct 27, 2022

        No. A step bit would be a much better choice for drilling a hole in a sheet metal lid.

                I used it to drill an extra hole in my rain barrel for an extra spigot. The hole was smooth and perfect and I was able to fit the extra spigot in perfectly without leaks.

                Wrong size printed on bit
                I bought a 15/16" bit today and was frustrated when I took it out of the package to discover that the side not seen in the packaging is die-stamped 7/8 with an ink stamp on the visible side stating 15/16. The bit was 7/8, not 15/16 as advertised on the one (visible) face of the bit and on the packaging itself.

                Hello,
                We are very sorry to hear of this issue with the bit. We are having our inventory team check our current stock and would like you to please get in touch with us directly. We can be contacted at 1-800-263-7016 or canadasupport@diablotools.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
                  Fast cutting!
                  Worked like it should. Bought it for my ¾" deck spindles i had to drill holes for. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because of the screw tip. If youre drilling all the way through wood, perfect, but if youre drilling a blind hole, its hard to control/stop your feed as it wants to pull you all the way through. I modified my bit on the bench grinder, grinding off the threads but leaving the point. Now it was perfect to drill and control for blind holes.

                  Too weak
                  Drilled about a dozen holes and broke. Cut very good until it broke, but once it breaks it aint good for nothin. Not a fan of the screw thread pilot either.

                    Good speed bit, it cut with little effort. It did leave some chip out on my project. But nothing too bad...

                    Sorry Diablo. You missed the mark on this one.
                    I've enjoyed other Diablo products and I've used the identical Bosch spade bits with much success. So I expected these newly branded Diablo bits to perform just like the Bosch bits. Well I've never had a Bosch spade break on me. Not gonna lie. I'm disappointed in the performance of these Diablo spades.
