Product Description
The Diablo 1/2 in. x 7-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is engineered for professional-grade drilling in a wide range of wood materials, including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and lumber with embedded nails. Diablo designed this bit with a two-step cutting action and a self-feeding Dura-Tip to deliver fast, clean, and precise holes - even when working through challenging nail-embedded framing lumber. Whether you are tackling wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, stacked furniture assembly, or gardening installations, this auger bit is built to keep up with demanding jobsite conditions while maximizing drilling efficiency per battery charge.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - creates precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications, reducing tearout and minimizing cleanup time on finished work
- Dura-Tip self-feeding point - pulls the bit forward automatically for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood, eliminating the need for excessive downward pressure from the operator
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth hole drilling experience in nail-embedded wood, reducing operator fatigue during extended use
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - evacuates wood chips quickly and efficiently, translating into more holes per battery charge and less time clearing the hole
- 5/16 in. hex quick change shank - increases stability and durability in both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers, providing a secure fit and reducing wobble during drilling
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together so you can drill through lumber with nails without switching bits or risking premature wear on a standard auger bit
- The deep flute geometry accelerates chip evacuation, meaning fewer pauses to clear debris and more productive holes on a single battery charge - a real advantage in high-volume wood framing and plumbing rough-in work
- The 5/16 in. hex quick change shank is compatible with cordless drill drivers and corded impact wrenches, making this bit a versatile choice across different tool setups on the same jobsite
- A working length of 5-1/2 in. on a 7-1/2 in. overall bit provides the reach needed for typical wood framing, stacked furniture, and plumbing penetrations without requiring an extension
