The Diablo 1 1/8 in. x 13 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo to deliver maximum performance and extreme durability when drilling through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. Whether you are tackling wood framing, stacked furniture assembly, gardening projects, or plumbing rough-ins, this auger bit is built to cut clean, precise holes with minimal effort - even when nails are in the path.

Key Features

• Two-step cutting action - produces precise, clean holes in every drilling pass, reducing tear-out and cleanup time in wood framing and other applications
• Self-feeding Dura-Tip - pulls the bit forward automatically for extreme durability and consistent performance in nail-embedded wood, reducing operator push force
• Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth boring experience through nail-embedded wood, helping maintain productivity on tough job sites
• Deep flutes for fast chip removal - efficiently clears waste material during drilling, resulting in 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, enabling fast bit swaps without additional tools

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together so you can drill through wood with embedded nails without stopping to remove fasteners or switching bits
• The 13 in. overall length and 9 in. working length give you the reach needed for deep holes in wood framing and plumbing applications where shorter bits fall short
• Compatible with standard drill/drivers using a 7/16 in. hex shank, making it a practical addition to any cordless or corded tool setup already on the job site
• Deep flute geometry means faster chip evacuation and longer run times per charge, which is a direct advantage when boring multiple holes through hardwoods or stacked lumber
