Diablo SPEEDemon Self Feed Bits Diablo SPEEDemon Self Feed Bits. These bits are specifically designed for faster, more efficient drilling in cordless drills. Traditional self-feed bits are slow and not optimally designed for cordless drills; they pull too much power and quickly drain the drill’s battery. Additionally, the feed-screw design on traditional self-feed bits makes them easy to lose or get stuck when pulling out the bit. The SPEEDemon Self Feed Bits have a precision heat-forged two-cutter head and a unique positive hook angle tooth geometry, which means these forward leaning teeth rip through soft wood up to two times faster than standard bits. The SPEEDemon Bits also feature a replaceable feed screw with a pull-out stop design that prevents it from slipping out when the bit is removed from the material. Visit www.diablotools.com.
