Hand-Held Drill and Spade Bit

If you’ve got to fit laminate flooring around pipes that come up through the floor, a 12-, 18- or 20-volt drill and spade bit are essential. This drill and bit combination lets you bore large, clean holes in those pieces of laminate that need to surround a pipe.

When it comes time to bore holes in your laminate, do the work with the piece of flooring sitting on scrap 1-1/2-in. thick lumber. This allows you to put lots of pressure on the bit, while also supporting the underside of the laminate so the material doesn’t tear out where the bit exits the flooring on the bottom face.

Note: You won’t need a drill and spade bit for every laminate installation — only if you need to work around pipes coming up through the floor.
