Spade drill bit STANLEY 5287962, diameter 22 mm, 1 piece

STANLEY 5287962 is a spade drill bit with a 22 mm diameter supplied as a single piece for use in hand drills and drill drivers. The flat paddle-shaped head is designed to remove material quickly and produce straight, clean holes in wood and similar materials. This 22 mm spade bit is intended for carpentry, electrical installation and general on-site work where fast drilling of through-holes in timber is required.

Advantages

The paddle design provides rapid material removal and efficient chip evacuation to maintain drilling speed and reduce clogging. A 22 mm cutting diameter balances hole size and control for common timber tasks. The single-piece supply makes replacement and tool selection straightforward while compatibility with standard drill chucks ensures easy use with hand drills and cordless drivers. The bit's geometry supports stable guidance and consistent hole shape when used at appropriate drill speed and feed.

Suitable for

• Drilling through soft and hardwoods
• Carpentry and joinery tasks
• Electrical and plumbing installations requiring cable or pipe pass-throughs
• Quick on-site hole drilling where speed is prioritized

Key specifications

• Type: Spade (paddle) drill bit
• Diameter: 22 mm
• Material suitability: Wood and wood-based materials
• Quantity in package: 1 piece
• Intended use: Hand drills and drill drivers with standard chucks

How to use

Secure the spade drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece and, if needed, use a center punch or pilot mark to prevent walking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed while applying steady, moderate pressure. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips and prevent overheating or clogging. For best results in hardwood, use controlled feed and avoid excessive pressure to maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill speed and feed to the wood type: lower speeds and steady pressure for hardwoods, higher speeds for softwoods. Keep the bit sharp and replace if worn to ensure consistent hole quality and safe operation.
