Sutton D501 SS3 Spade Bit Set

The Sutton D501 SS3 is a three piece spade bit set from the range Sutton builds for fast, clean holes in timber and light building materials. Sutton states the range drills up to 5 times faster than standard spade bits, with a power chip breaker and a heavy duty shank on every bit that clear the waste quickly and keep the cut true.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are in the SS3 set?

The listing states the set holds three D501 spade bits but does not list the individual sizes. FLAGGED supplier-verify: confirm the three diameters with the pack before ordering if a specific size matters. The set is sold as the SS3 three piece pack.

Why buy the set instead of single bits?

A set gives you the common sizes in one purchase, which is cheaper and simpler than buying each bit separately. The three piece SS3 is the entry level D501 set for the trade person who wants the everyday holes covered.

Do the bits fit a cordless drill?

Yes. The D501 range is designed to increase the efficiency and battery life of your power tool, so the bits run well in a cordless drill. Use a drill with decent torque and feed the bits steadily through the timber.

Can I use these bits with the D502 extension?

Yes, if the sizes in the set are 19mm and over. The D502 extension shanks increase the reach of spade bits 19mm and over, so any bit in that range in the set will work on an extension for deeper holes.
