Product Description
The Diablo 11/16 in. x 17-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring bit engineered by Diablo for demanding drilling tasks in clean lumber, hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. Whether you are tackling wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening projects, or plumbing rough-ins, this long-reach auger bit combines self-feeding precision with exceptional chip clearance so you can drill more holes per battery charge and finish jobs faster.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - produces smooth, accurate bores through hardwoods, softwoods, and plywood with minimal tear-out, reducing cleanup time on the job site.
- Dura-Tip self-feeding point for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - pulls the bit forward automatically so you apply less downward pressure, and the hardened tip survives contact with embedded fasteners that would damage standard bits.
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - two cutting edges share the workload on every revolution, reducing heat build-up and operator fatigue during repetitive drilling tasks.
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - aggressively evacuates wood chips and debris from the bore, keeping the cutting edges clear and allowing faster, uninterrupted drilling with more holes per battery charge.
- 7/16 in. hex quick change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - locks securely without a chuck key, minimizing vibration and bit wobble for straighter, more consistent holes.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the hardened Dura-Tip and dual cutting edges handle hidden nails and fasteners that ruin conventional auger bits, making this the practical choice for renovation and remodeling framing work where lumber has already been fastened.
- The 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length gives you the deep-reach capability needed for thick stacked lumber, wall framing, and long plumbing or electrical rough-in bores without switching to an extension.
- The 7/16 in. hex shank is compatible with standard drill/drivers and impact-rated drivers, so the bit fits the tools already on your belt - no adapters or specialty chucks required.
- Deep flute geometry combined with the self-feeding tip reduces the number of times you need to withdraw the bit to clear chips, translating to faster hole completion and longer battery runtime on cordless tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has nails or other embedded fasteners?
Yes. The Diablo DAG3060 is specifically engineered for nail-embedded wood. The hardened Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge design allow the bit to continue boring through lumber that contains nails or embedded fasteners, making it well suited for framing, renovation, and demolition-adjacent drilling tasks where hidden metal is a concern.
What shank size and type does this bit use, and which tools does it fit?
The bit uses a 7/16 in. hex quick change shank, which is compatible with standard drill/drivers as well as cordless and corded impact wrenches. The hex geometry locks the bit securely in the chuck without a key and reduces wobble for straighter holes.
What is the working length of this bit, and why does it matter?
The working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts - is 13-1/2 in. within the 17-1/2 in. overall length. This long reach allows you to bore through thick stacked lumber, wall assemblies, or structural framing members in a single pass without needing a separate bit extension.
What types of wood materials can this auger bit handle?
The Diablo DAG3060 is rated for hardwoods, softwoods, nail-embedded wood, and plywood. Its two-step cutting action and deep flutes are designed to produce clean, precise holes across all of these materials in applications such as wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, stacked furniture assembly, and gardening projects.
