Product Description
The Diablo 1/2 in. x 13 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo to deliver fast, clean drilling through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded lumber. Whether you are running rough framing, handling plumbing rough-ins, or drilling through stacked furniture stock, this bit is purpose-built to cut through tough materials - including wood with embedded nails - without losing speed or precision. The 13 in. overall length and 9 in. working length give you the reach needed for deep-bore applications, while the 5/16 in. hex quick-change shank mates with cordless drill drivers and corded drill drivers alike for maximum versatility on the job site.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - reduces tear-out and produces accurate bores without extra cleanup work
- Dura-Tip self-feeding tip for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - pulls the bit forward on its own so you spend less effort pushing and more time drilling
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - lets you bore through nails and fasteners without stalling or damaging the bit
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - continuously clears wood chips from the bore, reducing heat buildup and extending the number of holes you can drill per battery charge
- 5/16 in. hex quick-change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - snaps in and out quickly to keep your work moving without fumbling with a chuck key
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edges handle embedded nails that would strip or break lesser bits, making it ideal for demolition-adjacent framing and retrofit plumbing work
- Deep flutes actively clear chips while you drill, meaning fewer bit withdrawals per hole and more holes completed on a single battery charge during cordless applications
- The 5/16 in. hex quick-change shank provides a secure, wobble-free connection in both cordless drill drivers and corded drill drivers, giving you consistent bore quality across tool types
- Sold as a single 1/2 in. x 13 in. bit, so you can add exactly the diameter and length you need to your kit without purchasing a set containing sizes you will not use

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has nails embedded in it?
Yes. The Diablo DAG2030 is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge design work together to bore through lumber containing nails or fasteners, maintaining clean hole quality without damaging the bit or stalling the tool.
What shank size does this bit use, and will it fit my drill driver?
This bit uses a 5/16 in. hex quick-change shank. It is compatible with both cordless and corded drill drivers and impact wrenches that accept a 5/16 in. hex shank, and it is designed to snap in and out quickly without requiring a chuck key.
What is the difference between the overall length and the working length on this bit?
The overall length of this bit is 13 in., while the working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts into the material - is 9 in. The remaining length is the shank and transition area that seats in your tool. The 9 in. working length provides significant boring depth for deep framing, plumbing rough-in, and similar applications.
What types of wood can this auger bit be used on?
The Diablo DAG2030 is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. Common application areas include wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing work.
