Product Description
The Diablo 15/16 in. x 17-1/2 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 the most demanding wood drilling applications. Whether you are working through clean softwoods and hardwoods, plywood, or nail-embedded lumber encountered in wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing projects, this auger bit is purpose-built to cut fast, clean, and true. With a 17-1/2 in. overall length and a 13-1/2 in. working length, it reaches deep into structural assemblies while the 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank locks securely into cordless drill drivers and corded impact wrenches alike.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - produces accurate, splinter-reduced bores that reduce rework and finishing time in framing and plumbing rough-ins
- Dura-Tip self-feeding design for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - pulls the bit through material without requiring excessive downward pressure, so you stay in control even when hitting hidden fasteners
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - slices through nails and timber simultaneously, keeping your drilling pace steady and reducing user fatigue
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - evacuates sawdust and debris quickly so the bit stays cooler and you get more holes per battery charge on cordless tools
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - snaps in and out of quick-change chucks without a key, saving time on the job site
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together so tradespeople can bore through structural lumber without stopping to locate every hidden nail, making it ideal for renovation and remodel framing work
- 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length gives you the reach needed for deep-stack drilling in plumbing and gardening applications where standard-length bits fall short
- Compatible with hardwoods, softwoods, nail-embedded wood, and plywood - one bit handles a wide variety of materials on the job site, reducing the need to swap tools mid-task
- Deep flute geometry extends battery run time on cordless tools by clearing chips efficiently, which means fewer pauses to clear the bore and more productive holes per charge

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood can this Diablo auger bit drill through?
This bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge design allow it to bore through lumber that contains nails without losing performance, making it suitable for renovation framing, plumbing rough-ins, and stacked furniture assembly.
What shank size does the DAG3100 use, and which tools is it compatible with?
The DAG3100 uses a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank, which is compatible with cordless drill drivers and corded impact wrenches. The hex shank snaps into quick-change chucks for fast, tool-free bit swaps and provides added stability and durability compared to round-shank designs.
What is the difference between the overall length and the working length of this bit?
The overall length of this auger bit is 17-1/2 in., while the working length - the fluted portion that actually cuts and clears material - is 13-1/2 in. The extended overall length allows the bit to reach deep into structural assemblies and stacked lumber common in framing, plumbing, and gardening applications.
How does the two-step cutting action benefit my drilling work?
The two-step cutting action first scores and then clears the material, producing holes that are precise and clean rather than rough or splintered. Combined with the deep flutes that evacuate chips rapidly, this design reduces the effort needed to complete each bore and helps deliver more consistent results across hardwoods, softwoods, and nail-embedded lumber.
