SKU CH-PX4T-18KYE

A 54 in auger-style cable drill bit with a 9/16 in diameter and 52 in drilling depth for running wires through framing

  • 9/16 in split-point tip starts holes cleanly in wood
  • 54 in overall length reaches through joists and studs
  • 52 in maximum drilling depth handles long cable pulls
  • 3/16 in hex shank locks securely in drill chucks
  • Powder-coated carbon steel resists corrosion on job sites

Cable Installer Bit for Electricians

The Eagle Tool US EA56254 is a pneumatic accessory built for pulling cable through framed walls and ceilings. Its 54 in overall length reaches deep bays without requiring extensions. The split-point auger tip starts cleanly in wood and reduces walking on dense lumber. This tool suits electricians and low-voltage installers who run wire daily.

Carbon Steel Build with Hex Shank

Carbon steel construction resists wear when boring through multiple studs. A 3/16 in hex shank with three flats locks securely in drill chucks and prevents slippage under high torque. Powder coating adds corrosion resistance and reduces friction during long pulls. The straight shank design keeps the bit true during deep drilling.

Upgrades Short Bits and Flex Shafts

This bit replaces shorter auger bits that cannot reach full cavity depth in tall walls. It also removes the wobble common with flexible shaft extensions when drilling straight lines. The jump is worth it when maximum drilling depth of 52 in is needed for code-compliant cable runs. Not suited for metal studs or masonry work.

Questions about this item

What shank size does the 9/16 inch cable installer bit use and what chuck does it fit?

How long is the bit overall and how deep can it actually drill?

Overall length is 54 inches and the maximum drilling depth is 52 inches.

How do you secure the bit so it does not slip while drilling?

Align the three flats on the 3/16 inch shank with the chuck jaws and tighten firmly; skipping this alignment is the step most often missed.
