At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our triple-point flat bits cover the standard sizes used for routing electrical cable through joists and studs, boring holes for plastic pipe runs, and creating large-diameter openings in timber structures during building and renovation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat (paddle) profile allows large holes to be cut at relatively low cost compared to forstner or auger bits, making flat bits the practical choice for cable routing and general construction boring work where a smooth, clean-sided hole is less important than fast material removal at an economical price. The triple-point (three-spur) tip helps to centre the bit on the intended hole location and reduces the tendency to wander that affects single-point flat bits, particularly when starting a hole at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in the standard sizes for electrical and plumbing cable routing at the DIY Hardware Store - 16mm, 20mm, 22mm, 25mm, and 32mm are the most commonly needed sizes for domestic installation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge-diameter timber boring for cable and pipe routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple-point tip improves centring and reduces wander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomical alternative to forstner bits for construction use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16mm to 32mm sizes for electrical and plumbing routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in standard power drills and driver-drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential for first-fix electrical and plumbing installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"flat-bit","title":"Flat Drill Bit","description":"\u003cp\u003eAchieve precise and clean holes in wood with our high-quality Flat Drill Bit.
