A stabilizer for a tool, such as a rotary drill bit, comprises at least two blades spaced radially about the axis of the tool. Two adjacent blades define a venturi-shaped free angular space for a flow of drilling fluid. The width of each of the blades increases over at least a first portion, measured from the lower end of the blade, of the height of each blade. The height of the first portion is at least equal to one half of the width of the lower end of the free angular space.
