Product Description
The Diablo 1-1/8 in. x 7-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade drilling solution engineered to cut clean, precise holes through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood with minimal effort. Designed by Diablo for demanding wood framing, plumbing, gardening, and stacked furniture applications, this auger bit pairs a self-feeding tip with a dual cutting edge to deliver fast, smooth performance whether you are drilling through clean lumber or wood with embedded nails. The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank ensures a secure, stable fit in cordless and corded drill/drivers and impact wrenches, making it a reliable choice for professionals and serious DIYers alike.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - produces precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications, reducing tear-out and minimizing the need for cleanup or rework
- Dura-Tip self-feeding point - pulls the bit forward automatically for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood, reducing operator push force and fatigue
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers effortless, smooth hole drilling even in nail-embedded wood, allowing the bit to power through embedded fasteners without stalling
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - rapidly evacuates wood chips from the hole to extend battery runtime and allow more holes per charge in cordless applications
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank - increases stability and durability in 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 so you can drill through framing lumber with hidden nails without damaging the bit or interrupting your workflow
- Covers a wide range of wood types - compatible with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood, making it a single versatile bit for wood framing, plumbing rough-in, furniture assembly, and gardening projects
- Optimized for cordless tool users - deep chip-clearing flutes help maximize holes per charge, which is a practical advantage when working on large framing jobs away from a power source
- The 1-1/8 in. diameter and 5-1/2 in. working length suit it to common rough-in and framing hole sizes, while the 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank fits the drill drivers and impact drivers most professionals already own

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has nails in it?
Yes. The Diablo DAG1140 is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood applications. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to drill through wood with embedded nails, providing extreme durability and a smooth drilling experience even when nails are present.
What shank size does the DAG1140 use, and which tools will it fit?
This auger bit uses a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank, which is compatible with cordless and corded drill/drivers and impact wrenches. The quick-change design allows fast bit swaps and increases stability and durability during use.
What is the working length of this bit, and why does it matter?
The working length - the portion of the bit that actually cuts - is 5-1/2 in. This is the usable cutting depth available when the bit is chucked into a tool. The overall length of the bit is 7-1/2 in., with the difference accounted for by the 7/16 in. hex shank that seats in the drill driver.
What types of wood materials is this auger bit rated to drill?
The Diablo DAG1140 is designed to drill hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. It is suited for wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing applications where both clean lumber and lumber containing embedded nails may be encountered.
