Greenlee 50380788 D'VersiBIT Flexible Drill Bit System, Type A, Orange

The Greenlee 50380788 D'VersiBIT Flexible Drill Bit System is a Type A flexible drilling tool engineered for running cable and wire through soft woods or thin sections without the need to switch drill bits mid-run. This system features a 9/16 IN (14.300 MM) bit diameter mounted on a 54.000 IN (1371.600 MM) shaft with a 3/16 IN (4.800 MM) shaft diameter, giving installers long reach through joists and studs in a single pass. Finished in Greenlee's signature Orange color coding for fast tool identification on the jobsite, this system is built for electricians and low-voltage installers who need dependable, repeatable bores in soft-wood framing applications. With an overall length of 60.000 IN, width of 2.500 IN, and height of 0.750 IN, the D'VersiBIT Type A packs efficiently into a tool bag or case while still delivering a rated 112.5 CI bore volume for effective material removal during drilling.

Greenlee 50380788 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What bit diameters does the Greenlee D'VersiBIT Type A flexible drill bit come in?
The D'VersiBIT Type A is offered in three bit diameters: 9/16 inch (MPN 50380788), 3/4 inch (MPN 50380834), and 1 inch (MPN 50380885). All three are the Type A configuration, the orange color-coded bit built for soft woods and thin sections. Pick the diameter by the cable bundle you need to pull through the bore.
2) Can I use the Greenlee Type A D'VersiBIT to drill through steel studs or hardwood?
No. Type A is specified for drilling in soft woods or through thin sections, which covers standard dimensional framing, joists and studs in wood construction. It is not the bit for steel studs, masonry, or dense hardwood. Greenlee color-codes the D'VersiBIT line by application for exactly this reason, and Type A is the orange one.
3) How deep into a wall cavity can the Greenlee D'VersiBIT Type A reach in one pass?
The shaft is 54 inches long, so you get roughly four and a half feet of reach from the chuck to the cutting head without adding an extension. That is what lets you drill down a stud bay from a switch box or run along a joist line in a single pass. Overall length of the tool is 60 inches.
4) Will the Greenlee D'VersiBIT Type A shaft flex around obstructions inside a wall?
Yes, that is the point of the design. The 3/16 inch shaft diameter on the 9/16 inch bit lets the shaft bend inside a cavity so you can start a bore from a box opening and steer through framing instead of cutting open drywall. The narrow shaft also means the hole you drill is wider than the shaft, so the bit is not dragging on the bore wall as you feed it.
5) Which D'VersiBIT diameter should I order for running residential electrical rough-in?
For typical wood-framed rough-in, the 9/16 inch Type A handles single NM cable runs and low-voltage drops. Step to 3/4 inch when you are stacking several cables through one bore, and to 1 inch for the heaviest bundles or larger conductors. All three are the same soft-wood Type A geometry, so the only decision is hole size versus how much wood you are willing to remove from the member.
6) Will the Greenlee D'VersiBIT Type A fit in a standard tool bag?
It stores flat rather than upright. The assembly is 60 inches long, 2.500 inches wide and 0.750 inches high, so it lays along the length of a bag or into a long case, not into a pouch. Crews generally keep it strapped to the side of a bag or in a dedicated flex-bit sleeve.
7) Is the Greenlee D'VersiBIT made in the USA?
Yes. Country of origin on the D'VersiBIT Type A flexible bit system is the US, which matters on public and institutional work carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
