Cable installer bit for pneumatic tools
This 1/2 inch carbide-tipped drill bit is designed for cable installation using pneumatic accessories. It suits electricians and technicians who need to bore long, straight holes through framing or studs. The split-point geometry helps start holes cleanly without wandering. Buyers who need a shorter bit or a different shank style should look elsewhere.
Practical limits of the straight-shank interface
The bit fits a 1/4 inch shank diameter with a 3/16 inch hex section and three flats for secure chuck grip. Its 18 inch overall length allows a maximum drilling depth of 16 inches. The straight shank with flats is the only mounting method; it will not suit SDS, spline or quick-change systems. Users requiring a different shank type cannot use this bit.
Deciding specification: 1/2 inch drill-bit diameter
The single specification that determines fit is the 1/2 inch cutting diameter, which sets the hole size for cable passage. If the job calls for a larger or smaller bore, this bit will not meet the requirement. The powder-coated finish and carbide tip support durability in wood and composite materials. Verify the required hole size before purchase.

Questions about this item
Is the 1/2 in drill bit size the right choice for pulling cable through studs and joists?
The 1/2 in drill bit size is designed for cable installation, and the 18 in overall length with a 16 in maximum drilling depth lets you reach through multiple framing members in one pass.
How does the 18 in overall length and 16 in maximum drilling depth perform when boring through wall plates and floor joists?
The 18 in overall length provides the reach to span standard stud bays, while the 16 in maximum drilling depth ensures you can complete the hole without repositioning the bit.
Will the 1/4 in shank diameter and 3/16 in shank hex size fit my pneumatic drill chuck?
The 1/4 in shank diameter with a 3/16 in hex size is made for quick‑change chucks on pneumatic drills, and the straight shank with three flats prevents slipping under torque.
