Product Description
The Diablo 1-1/8 in. x 17-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring bit engineered to tackle demanding wood framing, plumbing rough-in, stacked furniture, and gardening applications with ease. Designed by Diablo for contractors and serious DIYers who drill through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded lumber, this long auger bit delivers precise, clean holes every time thanks to its two-step cutting action. The extended 17-1/2 in. overall length and 13-1/2 in. working length give you the reach needed for deep-hole boring through thick assemblies, while the 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank makes it fully compatible with cordless and corded drill drivers.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - reduces tear-out and produces professional-quality bores in both clean and nail-embedded wood
- Dura-Tip self-feeding tip for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - the tip pulls the bit forward automatically, reducing push force and helping you drill through nails without losing control
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - two cutting edges share the workload so the bit glides through tough material with less effort and less heat buildup
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - rapid chip evacuation keeps the bore clear, allowing more holes per battery charge and reducing the chance of the bit binding in the material
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - the hex geometry locks securely into tool chucks, preventing slipping and improving torque transfer for faster, safer drilling
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - framing lumber packed with hidden nails is no obstacle for this bit, making it the right choice for renovation, remodeling, and retrofit plumbing or electrical work where pulling nails first is not practical
- Long 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length - reaches through thick wall assemblies and stacked members in a single pass, eliminating the need for extensions in many wood framing and plumbing rough-in scenarios
- Compatible with a wide range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood - one bit handles the variety of substrates found on a typical jobsite, reducing the number of tools you need to carry
- Sold individually as a single bit - you get exactly the size you need without paying for sizes you do not use, making this a cost-effective addition to any boring bit kit for the 1-1/8 in. diameter applications common in pipe and conduit routing

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has nails embedded in it?
Yes. This bit is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood. The self-feeding Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to cut through wood containing nails, making it well suited for renovation and remodeling work where hidden fasteners are common in framing lumber.
What shank type does this bit use, and which tools is it compatible with?
This bit uses a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank. That geometry is compatible with cordless and corded drill drivers and impact wrenches that accept a 7/16 in. hex chuck or quick-change adapter. The hex shank locks firmly to prevent slipping and improve torque transfer during heavy drilling.
What is the difference between the overall length and the working length of this bit?
The overall length is 17-1/2 in., which is the total measurement from tip to end of shank. The working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts and evacuates material - is 13-1/2 in. The working length tells you the maximum effective depth you can bore in a single pass without repositioning.
What types of wood materials can this auger bit cut through?
This bit is rated for hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. Common use cases include wood framing, stacked furniture, plumbing rough-in, and gardening applications where boring through structural lumber or dimensional wood is required.
