Klein Tools 53936 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein Tools 53936 wood boring bit run in a 3/8 inch drill, or do I need a 1/2 inch chuck?
Either one. The 53936 is built to run in both 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch drills, so a standard cordless drill/driver will turn it as well as a heavier 1/2 inch drill. On a 1-3/8 inch cut in framing lumber, expect the smaller drill to work harder, so keep a firm grip and let the pilot screw pull the bit through.
2) How is this different from a regular spade or paddle bit?
The 53936 uses a head shape that cuts down on vibration compared with an ordinary paddle bit, and the cutting head is shaped so you can modify it to change the hole profile. It also runs a hardened pilot screw that pulls the bit into the work instead of relying on you to push it, which is the main difference you feel when boring a run of studs overhead.
3) Can this bit be resharpened, or do I throw it out when it dulls?
Resharpen it. The cutting blades on the 53936 are made to be sharpened with a file, so a crew boring dozens of holes a day can dress the edges rather than replace the bit. The pilot screw is a separate hardened part and is replaceable when it wears or strips.
4) Is the Klein 53936 a hole saw or an auger bit?
Neither. It is a flat wood boring bit, the paddle-style family, with a threaded pilot screw at the tip. It bores a full 1-3/8 inch hole in one pass and clears chips out the open sides, so there is no plug to knock out the way there is with a hole saw.
