Eagle Tool Us EC56254 Cable Installer Bit

The Eagle Tool Us EC56254 is a cable installer drill bit designed for masonry work. It suits electricians and installers who need to pull wire through long holes in brick, block or concrete. The 54 in overall length provides extended reach for deep drilling tasks. A powder coated finish helps resist wear during heavy use.

Installation and common issues

The bit features a straight shank with three flats and a 1/4 in hex size that locks into standard drill chucks, reducing slippage during operation. A 3/16 in shank diameter fits most common drill drivers without adapters. Users should clear dust frequently to prevent the bit from binding at the 16 in maximum drilling depth. Dull cutting edges will increase effort and reduce hole accuracy.

9/16 in diameter for cable pathways

The 9/16 in drill bit size creates holes wide enough for typical electrical cables and data lines. This diameter matches common conduit and box knockout dimensions for clean pulls. The carbon steel construction handles masonry abrasion but is not rated for reinforced concrete with heavy rebar. Buyers needing larger diameters or hammer-drill-only SDS shanks should select a different bit.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the bit is drilling to the full 16 in depth after setup?

Drill a test hole in the target material and measure the depth; the flutes should reach the 16 in maximum drilling depth marked on the bit.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The box contains the 54 in carbon-steel cable installer bit with a 1/4 in hex shank; you will need a compatible drill or impact driver.

Which shank size should I choose for my drill?

This model has a fixed 1/4 in hex shank, so select it when your drill accepts 1/4 in hex bits.
