Cable Installer Bit 1/4in 18in

The Eagle Tool US EC25018 is a serrated cable installer drill bit designed for pulling wire through framed cavities. Its 18 in overall length and 1/4 in drill bit size suit electricians and low-voltage installers running cable in residential and light commercial construction.

Ideal for long-reach wood drilling

Installers who need to bore through multiple studs or joists from a single entry point will benefit from the straight shank with three flats and 3/16 in hex shank. It is not suited for metal framing, masonry or any material that requires a carbide or auger-style cutting geometry.

18 in overall length

This single dimension determines whether the bit can span the distance between access holes in your typical framing layout; if the run is shorter a shorter bit will be more controllable, and if the run is longer this bit will not reach.

Questions about this item

What size chuck or collet fits the 3/16 in hex shank on this 18 in bit?

The bit has a 3/16 in hex shank with three flats, so it fits any 3/16 in hex collet or a standard three-jaw chuck that closes down to that size.

How do you secure the bit so the flats don't slip under torque?

Align the three flats with the chuck jaws and tighten firmly; the flats prevent rotation but only if each jaw contacts a flat surface.

When does the powder coating need attention?

Inspect the coating after heavy use; if bare steel shows, lightly oil the bit to prevent rust.
