Product Description
The Diablo 1 3/8 in. x 13 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring bit engineered by Diablo to deliver maximum performance and extreme durability in demanding wood drilling applications. Whether you are working through clean softwoods and hardwoods, driving through nail-embedded framing lumber, or boring holes for plumbing and electrical runs, this auger bit is purpose-built to handle tough conditions with a smooth, controlled drilling experience. The 13 in. overall length and 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank make it a versatile choice for electricians, plumbers, framers, and woodworkers who rely on cordless drill drivers and corded tools alike.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - produces precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications, reducing tear-out and improving hole quality in both rough framing and finish work
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip - pulls the bit forward automatically through nail-embedded wood, reducing the downward pressure needed from the operator and extending tip life in abrasive materials
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth hole drilling experience through nail-embedded wood, maintaining cutting performance even after contact with fasteners
- Deep flutes - accelerate chip evacuation so debris clears the hole quickly, allowing more holes per battery charge during cordless applications
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank - locks securely into cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers for increased stability and durability without the need for a chuck key
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edges work together so you can drill through framing lumber with embedded nails without stopping to swap bits or risk premature tip failure
- Compatible with a wide range of materials - hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood are all approved materials, making this a single-bit solution across wood framing, plumbing rough-in, gardening, and stacked furniture applications
- Designed for cordless efficiency - deep flutes clear chips rapidly, which means fewer pauses to clear the hole and more holes completed on a single battery charge during high-volume jobsite work
- Quick-change hex shank simplifies tool transitions - the 7/16 in. hex shank fits standard quick-change chucks on both impact wrenches and drill drivers, saving time when switching between tools on a busy worksite

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that contains nails?
Yes. The Diablo DAG2140 is specifically designed for nail-embedded wood. The self-feeding Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to bore through lumber containing embedded nails with an effortless, smooth drilling experience, maintaining durability and cutting performance in abrasive conditions.
What shank size does this auger bit use, and which tools are compatible?
This auger bit features a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank that is compatible with cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers. The quick-change design increases stability and durability and allows fast bit swaps without a chuck key.
What is the working length of this 13 in. auger bit?
The working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts and removes material - is 9 in. The total overall length of the bit is 13 in., which provides reach for deeper boring applications in wood framing, plumbing runs, and similar tasks.
Why do deep flutes matter for cordless drilling applications?
The deep flutes on this auger bit enhance the chip evacuation process by pulling wood chips and debris out of the hole quickly as you drill. Faster chip removal reduces heat buildup and friction, which translates directly into more holes completed per battery charge - a meaningful advantage during high-volume jobsite work.
