Product Description
The Diablo 9/16 in. x 7-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo for demanding wood drilling applications in framing, plumbing, gardening, and furniture work. Designed to cut through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded lumber with equal confidence, this auger bit combines a self-feeding tip with a dual cutting edge to deliver clean, precise holes even where embedded fasteners would stop lesser bits cold. Whether you are running a cordless drill driver on a framing job or working through stacked material with a corded tool, this bit is built to keep up with the pace of professional work.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - reduces splintering and tear-out so finished holes require less cleanup and rework
- Dura-Tip self-feeding point for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - pulls the bit forward automatically, reducing downward pressure needed from the operator and extending tip life when nails are present
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - distributes cutting load evenly so the bit stays on track rather than deflecting around fasteners
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - clears waste material rapidly to maintain cutting speed and deliver more holes per battery charge on cordless tools
- 7/16 in. hex quick change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - seats securely without adapters and resists cam-out under high torque
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to push through framing lumber that contains hidden nails, reducing the risk of bit breakage and keeping your work moving without stopping to swap tools
- Versatile across material types - cuts hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood with a single bit, making it a practical choice for framing, plumbing rough-in, gardening, and stacked furniture assembly
- Optimized for cordless performance - deep flutes evacuate chips efficiently so you get more holes per battery charge, a meaningful advantage on jobsites where outlet access is limited
- Compatible with a wide range of power tools - the 7/16 in. hex quick change shank fits both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers without requiring a separate adapter, saving setup time

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that contains nails?
Yes. The Diablo DAG1060 is designed specifically for nail-embedded wood applications. The Dura-Tip provides extreme durability when contact with nails occurs, and the dual cutting edge keeps the bit drilling smoothly rather than deflecting or binding when it encounters embedded fasteners.
What shank size and type does this bit use, and will it fit my drill driver?
This bit uses a 7/16 in. hex quick change shank, which is compatible with both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers. The quick change design seats securely for increased stability and durability without the need for a separate chuck adapter.
What is the actual cutting length versus the total length of this bit?
The total length of the bit is 7-1/2 in., and the working length - the portion actively engaged in cutting - is 5-1/2 in. This working length determines the maximum depth of hole you can bore in a single pass.
What materials can the Diablo DAG1060 auger bit drill through?
This bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. It is suited for a range of tasks including wood framing, stacked furniture assembly, gardening, and plumbing rough-in work where boring through structural lumber is required.
