Electricistas
Drill bits and accessories for electrical work: spade bits, ship augers, SDS-Plus bits, masonry drills, step drills, nut setters and more. Mostly ITM, with some Tru-Cut and Walter.
Choosing bits for electrical work
Electricians drill through studs and joists, anchor into concrete and block, and drive a lot of fasteners. This range collects the tools for that, mostly ITM: spade bits, ship augers, SDS-Plus bits, masonry drills, step drills, reamers, bellhanger and flex drills, magnetic nut setters, bit tips and combination drill taps.
Wood framing goes to spade bits or ship augers. Concrete and block go to SDS-Plus bits in a rotary hammer, and many come in 25-packs. Metal boxes and panels are step drill and reamer jobs.
Drilling tips
Match the bit to the tool. SDS-Plus bits are made for rotary hammers, while masonry bits rotation only go in drill mode. Clear chips often in deep holes and let an auger pull itself in rather than forcing it. The biggest selection is in the SDS-Plus drill bits.

Common questions
What bit do I use to drill through studs?
Spade bits are the usual choice for quick holes in framing, and the range includes standard 6" lengths and longer such as 7/8" x 16". Ship augers are there for deeper runs through framing.
What do I use to drill into concrete or block?
SDS-Plus bits in a rotary hammer. The range includes sizes from 3/16" to 1-1/8" and lengths from 6-1/4" to 24", and the X-Cutter style is available in 25-packs.
Is there a bit for running wire through finished walls?
The range includes bellhanger and flex drills, made for reaching through framing where a straight bit will not fit. Check the length and size in each product title.
