The key to this performance is the patented design of the bit itself.  While other wood-drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast feeding, Bosch has incorporated a full-cone threaded tip, which increases not only the speed of the bit, but also ease of drilling.  

 

Another patented feature of the Daredevil is the contoured paddle.  This wave-like shape speeds up chip removal adding to the speed of the bit.  The combination of these two features creates astonishing results:  In independent testing, the Daredevil was 2.4x faster and required 53% less force than the Irwin Blue Groove*.  

 

While spade bits are not expected to produce anything beyond average hole quality, the Daredevil is not your average spade bit.  The patented spur-and-reamer design is unique because it not only scores the wood for a clean entry hole, but also has angled cutting edges that ream the hole for reduced breakout, leaving a cleaner exit hole than any competitive bit.
