FAQ's: Electrician's Drill Bits
What kind of drill bits do electricians use?
Ship auger bits or flex bits for drilling through studs and joists.
What drill bit to use for a wall plug?
Use a masonry bit that matches the wall plug diameter—typically 6mm to 10mm.
Are electric drill bits universal?
Most are, as long as they match the drill's chuck size (usually 3/8" or 1/2"). Specialty bits may need adapters.
What is the best drill bit for studs?
Auger bits are ideal for drilling long, clean holes through multiple studs without splintering.
What’s the best drill for electricians?
A lightweight, high-torque cordless drill with variable speed and compact design is best for electricians.
What tool does an electrician use the most?
A cordless drill and a set of job-specific drill bits are among the most-used tools for electrical installations.
What size hole do you drill for electrical wire?
It depends on the wire gauge and application. For Romex, 3/4" to 1" is typical through studs.
What size drill bit for electrical plug?
Common plug sizes range from 3/4" to 1 1/8"—step bits are ideal for this because they can create multiple hole sizes in one pass.
What is an electrical bit?
An "electrical bit" refers to a drill bit designed specifically for electrical work, such as wire routing or panel installation.
What do electricians use to drill holes?
Electricians typically use cordless power drills paired with step bits for metal, spade bits for wood, or fish bits for running wire.
What drill bit do electricians use?
Step bits, auger bits, spade bits, and extra-long flex bits are most commonly used by electricians.
What’s the difference between a spade bit and an auger bit?
Spade bits are faster but rougher. Auger bits are slower but cleaner and better for deep or repeated stud drilling.
Do I need extra long drill bits for fishing wire?
Yes. Extra long bits (18" to 48") help reach behind walls, above ceilings, or through multiple framing layers without opening up drywall.
What size step drill bit do I need for conduit?
Most electricians use a step bit that covers 3/4" to 1-1/8" sizes for standard conduit fittings. Always check local code and fitting requirements.
Can I use regular drill bits for electrical work?
While possible, regular bits often cause tear-out or aren’t long enough. Electrician-specific bits are designed for clean, efficient cuts and tight spaces.
What type of drill bit is best for electricians?
Electricians often use step bits, auger bits, spade bits, and extra long bits. The right bit depends on the material being drilled and the job—metal boxes, wood studs, or finished walls.
