Irwin 88710 SPEEDBOR Spade Bit, Impact Accessible
The Irwin SPEEDBOR Spade Bit series, including model 88710, is a family of flat wood boring bits engineered for fast, clean drilling through wood using standard corded drills, cordless drills, and impact drivers. This line is available in three sizes — 1-3/8" x 6", 5/8" x 16", and 15/16" x 6" — giving pros and DIYers a range of diameters and lengths for different boring-depth and hole-size needs. Every SPEEDBOR bit in the lineup shares the same next-generation design: a patented Blue-Groove cutting edge for aggressive chip removal, a chamfered cutting edge for added durability, an optimized point tip for reduced splintering, and a reinforced shank built for fast, aggressive cutting.
Key Features
- Available Sizes: Choose from 1-3/8" x 6", 5/8" x 16", or 15/16" x 6" to match the hole diameter and boring depth required for the job.
- Impact Accessible: The shank design allows every size in the lineup to be driven with impact drivers in addition to standard corded and cordless drills, adding jobsite versatility.
- Optimized Point Tip: Wider and longer than previous-generation IRWIN spade bits, the tip helps minimize wood splintering and gives better control over drilling speed.
- Patented Blue-Groove Design: The Blue-Groove cutting edge opens up a large cutting area that aggressively clears wood chips for faster, cleaner holes.
- Chamfered Cutting Edges: Chamfered edges increase cutting-edge durability, helping each bit resist wear and hold an effective edge over more holes.
- Reinforced Shank: A reinforced shank is built to withstand fast rotational speeds and aggressive cutting pressure without flexing or failing.
- 2X Performance: Together, these upgrades let the SPEEDBOR Spade Bit lineup cut twice as fast and last twice as long as earlier IRWIN spade bit generations.
