Product Description
The Diablo 1-1/2 in. x 17-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a heavy-duty boring tool engineered by Diablo to deliver maximum performance and extreme durability in demanding wood drilling applications. Whether you are tackling wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening projects, or plumbing rough-ins, this long-reach auger bit cuts cleanly through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and even nail-embedded wood with consistent, reliable results. The extended 17-1/2 in. overall length and 13-1/2 in. working length give contractors and tradespeople the reach needed for deep-hole drilling in structural framing and other demanding job-site tasks.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - produces precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications, reducing tear-out and minimizing the need for cleanup passes
- Dura-Tip self-feeding tip - pulls the bit forward automatically and withstands contact with embedded nails, so drilling in reclaimed lumber or nail-embedded framing does not stall progress
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth drilling experience through nail-embedded wood, reducing operator fatigue on repetitive boring tasks
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - accelerates chip evacuation during drilling, allowing more holes per battery charge when using a cordless drill driver
- 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 tools
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together so you can bore through framing lumber without stopping to remove hidden fasteners or risk damaging standard bits
- The 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length gives you the deep reach required for wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, and stacked material applications where standard-length bits fall short
- Deep flutes optimize chip evacuation, meaning fewer interruptions to clear debris and more consistent hole quality - a practical advantage when drilling multiple holes in a single work session
- The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank is compatible with both cordless drill drivers and corded impact wrenches, making this a versatile addition to a professional toolkit without the need for adapters

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has embedded nails?
Yes. This bit is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood applications. The Dura-Tip self-feeding point and dual cutting edge are designed to withstand contact with embedded nails, allowing the bit to continue boring without stalling or premature wear that would damage a standard wood boring bit.
What shank type does the DAG3160 use, and will it fit my drill driver?
The DAG3160 uses a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank. This shank type is compatible with both cordless and corded drill drivers as well as impact wrenches, and it locks into quick-change chucks without the need for a key or additional adapter.
How do the deep flutes benefit cordless tool users?
The deep flutes are designed to accelerate chip evacuation during boring, which keeps the cutting zone clear and reduces the resistance the motor works against. This translates to more holes drilled per battery charge, a meaningful advantage when working on projects that require a high volume of bored holes such as wood framing or plumbing rough-ins.
What materials can this auger bit cut through?
This Diablo auger bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. It is suited for a range of trade applications including wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing tasks where deep, clean holes are required.
