Product Description
The Diablo 1-1/16 in. x 17-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo for demanding wood framing, plumbing, gardening, and stacked furniture applications. Featuring a self-feeding tip and a dual cutting edge, this auger bit delivers precise, clean holes through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and even nail-embedded wood - making it a reliable choice for rough-in drilling where embedded fasteners are unavoidable. The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank provides compatibility with cordless and corded drill drivers, so you can move through demanding jobsite conditions with minimal downtime.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - creates precise, clean holes through wood and nail-embedded wood, reducing tearout and improving bore quality on every pass
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip - pulls the bit forward automatically, reducing the downward pressure required from the user and enabling effortless progress through tough wood materials
- Dual cutting edge design - allows smooth, continuous drilling through nail-embedded wood without stalling, so you keep working even in reclaimed or framed lumber
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - accelerates chip evacuation to keep the bore clear, delivering more holes per battery charge on cordless tools
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank - increases stability and durability in both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers, and allows fast bit swaps without additional tools
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to push through hidden nails and fasteners that would stop a standard spade or twist bit, making this auger a dependable tool for wood framing and demolition-adjacent rough-in work
- The 17-1/2 in. overall length and 13-1/2 in. working length provide the reach needed to bore through stacked lumber, wall assemblies, and deep framing members without repositioning
- Compatible with common cordless drill drivers via the 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank - so contractors already using hex-shank tooling do not need adapters or specialty chucks
- Suited for a wide range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood - a single bit covers multiple material types encountered in wood framing, plumbing rough-in, and gardening installations
