Greenlee 34A-3/8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Greenlee self-feeding spade bit fit an impact driver?
The shank is a 1/4 inch hexagonal quick-change shank, so it drops straight into an impact driver chuck or a quick-change bit holder, as well as a standard 3-jaw drill chuck. That hex shank is what keeps it from spinning in the chuck when the self-feeding tip pulls into hardwood.
2) What is the hole in the middle of the Greenlee spade bit for?
That center hole is for wire pulling. After boring the hole you can thread a pull wire or fish line through the bit, back the bit out, and bring the wire with it, which saves a second trip with a fish tape on electrical rough-in.
3) Can this spade bit enlarge a hole that is already drilled?
Yes. The tapered design lets it enlarge an existing hole rather than skating off the edge, which is the usual failure with a flat spade bit that has no pilot to bite. Useful on retrofit work where an existing bore has to be opened up for a bigger cable.
4) What materials will the Greenlee 34A spade bit cut?
Hardwood, softwood, plywood and drywall. It is a wood-boring bit with forged, heat-treated construction, so keep it out of metal studs, nails and masonry; those call for a bi-metal hole saw or a carbide bit instead.
5) Is a self-feeding spade bit better than a standard spade bit for overhead drilling?
For overhead and awkward positions, the self-feeding tip helps: it threads itself into the wood so you push less and the bit chatters less. A flat-tip spade bit needs steady axial force, which is hard to hold over your head. Where you need a very clean, splinter-free hole or a deep bore, an auger or a hole saw is still the better tool.
