WizeBuyz Take

Overall, reviewers have found the DEWALT Spade Drill Bit for Masonry to be a durable and reliable tool for digging through hard-packed earth, clay, and gravel. While it may not be the most cost-effective option, it offers greater longevity and durability than some off-brand options. Some reviewers experienced getting the tool stuck and needing to pry it loose, but others found it highly effective for cutting flat edges along a walkway and flattening the bottom of a walkway. Some reviewers have noted that it is not as effective on larger rocks.

Cons

  • May get stuck and require prying loose

  • Not as effective on bigger rocks

  • May be more expensive than other brands

Pros

  • Suitable for cutting flat edges along a walkway

  • Effective at flattening the bottom of a walkway

  • Hard and sharp enough to cut through small rocks

  • Compatible with all brands of SDS Max chipping and demolition hammers

  • Offers greater durability and reliability than some off-brand options

The DEWALT Spade Drill Bit for Masonry has a 4 1/2" clay spade with an SDS MAX shank. This flat head spade blade is highly effective at cutting a flat edge along a walkway, flattening the bottom of the walkway, digging out temporary steps down the slope, and digging trenches. The blade's sharpness and hardness enable it to cut through small rocks (3-4 inches) using an 8.6ft/lbs Makita HM0871C demo hammer, but it doesn't work on bigger rocks. The round shaped spade blade is a better fit for digging a hole for planting a tree.

This tool is compatible with all brands of SDS Max chipping and demolition hammers. While it may not be as cost-effective as some off-brand options, it offers greater durability and reliability for long-term use and tough digging jobs.
