Product Description
The Diablo 13/16 in. x 17-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo for demanding wood framing, plumbing rough-in, stacked furniture assembly, and gardening applications. Combining a self-feeding tip with a dual cutting edge, this long auger bit delivers precise, clean holes through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood - making it a reliable choice for contractors and tradespersons who need consistent performance in tough jobsite conditions. The 17-1/2 in. overall length and 13-1/2 in. working length provide the reach needed for deep boring tasks in structural framing and utility rough-in work.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - creates precise, clean holes through wood and nail-embedded lumber, reducing tearout and improving bore quality on every pass
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip - pulls the bit through the material with extreme durability in nail-embedded wood, reducing the effort required from the operator and extending tool life in abrasive conditions
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth drilling experience even when nails are present in the workpiece, minimizing bit deflection and workpiece damage
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - enhance chip evacuation during drilling, allowing more holes per battery charge in cordless applications and keeping the bit from binding in deep bores
- 7/16 in. hex quick change shank - increases stability and durability in both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill/drivers, allowing fast, tool-free bit swaps on the job
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to bore cleanly through material containing nails, so demolition and remodel framing work does not require pre-clearing fasteners from every bore location
- The 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length gives tradespeople the deep reach required for plumbing rough-in and structural framing bores without requiring extension accessories
- The 7/16 in. hex quick change shank is compatible with standard drill/drivers and impact wrenches, making this bit a versatile fit for the tools already on the jobsite
- Deep flutes actively evacuate chips during boring, reducing heat buildup and bit binding in long-hole applications through hardwoods and softwoods, which translates to more holes per battery charge

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the Diablo DAG3080 auger bit drill through?
The DAG3080 is rated for hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge are specifically engineered to handle nails encountered in existing framing, making this bit suitable for both new construction and remodel or demolition work.
What shank type does this auger bit use, and which tools is it compatible with?
The DAG3080 uses a 7/16 in. hex quick change shank. This shank style is compatible with standard drill/drivers, as well as cordless and corded impact wrenches, and allows for fast, tool-free bit changes on the job.
What is the working length versus the overall length of this bit?
The DAG3080 has an overall length of 17-1/2 in. and a working length of 13-1/2 in. The working length represents the effective boring depth the bit can achieve, which makes it well suited for deep bores in structural framing, plumbing rough-in, and similar applications.
How does the two-step cutting action benefit the user in wood drilling applications?
The two-step cutting action combines the self-feeding Dura-Tip - which pulls the bit through the material - with a dual cutting edge that shears the wood fibers cleanly. This results in precise, clean holes with reduced operator effort, and the deep flutes simultaneously clear chips from the bore for more efficient drilling and better hole quality.
