The main focus of this selection is Flat Drill Bits, also known as spade bits. These are the go-to choice when a standard twist bit is too small and you need a larger hole through timber. Typical jobs include running pipework and cabling through joists, studs and battens, or opening up holes for fittings and fixings.

Key Features of Black and Decker Wood Drill Bits

• Flat bit design: The broad blade removes a large amount of timber quickly. This makes it efficient for bigger holes without the cost of a hole saw.
• Centre point: A pointed tip locates the bit on your marked position. It helps stop the bit wandering as the hole starts.
• Cutting edges for timber: The shaped edges are made for cutting wood fibres. Use them in wood and wood-based boards, not metal or masonry.
• Drill-friendly shanks: Flat bits are made to fit common power drill chucks. Check the shank type and size against your drill before ordering.
• Suited to cordless and corded drills: Use them in a drill driver, combi drill or a 240v corded drill with enough torque for the hole size.

Popular Black and Decker Wood Drill Bits

Flat Drill Bits

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Black and Decker flat wood drill bits used for?

They are used to drill larger holes in timber, typically for cables, pipes and fixings. They are common in first-fix work through joists and studs.

Can I use these bits in a cordless drill?

Yes, provided the shank fits your chuck and the drill has enough power for the hole size. Larger holes need more torque, so use a lower speed and a firm, steady grip.

Can I drill metal or masonry with wood drill bits?

No. Wood drill bits are made for timber and wood-based boards. Using them on metal, masonry or concrete will damage the cutting edges and can be unsafe.

How do I get a cleaner hole with a flat bit?

Mark the position and start at a moderate speed so the centre point bites. Apply steady pressure and clear the waste as you go. To limit splintering on the exit side, back the timber with an offcut or drill from both faces. Wear safety glasses and clamp the workpiece securely.
