Product Description
The Diablo 5/8 in. x 13 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring bit engineered by Diablo for demanding drilling tasks in wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, gardening installations, and stacked furniture applications. Designed to handle both clean lumber and nail-embedded wood with equal confidence, this auger bit combines a self-feeding tip, dual cutting edges, and deep chip-clearing flutes to deliver smooth, precise holes with minimal effort - even when driving through material that contains embedded fasteners. The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank makes it compatible with cordless and corded drill drivers and impact wrenches, giving tradespeople and serious DIYers a reliable bit that transitions quickly between tools and holds steady under load.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action - creates precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications so finished openings need little to no cleanup after boring
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip - pulls the bit forward automatically for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood, reducing the downward pressure the user must apply
- Dual cutting edge design - delivers an effortless, smooth hole-drilling experience even when the bit contacts embedded nails, helping prevent bit walking or stalling
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - enhance chip evacuation so the bit stays clear of debris, resulting in 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, and allows fast bit swaps without a chuck key
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edges work together to bore through lumber with embedded fasteners without requiring the user to stop and reposition, making it well-suited for demolition framing and reclaimed wood projects
- Long 13 in. total length with a 9 in. working length - reaches deep into wall cavities, floor joists, and thick stacked assemblies where a standard-length bit cannot reach
- Optimized for battery-powered tools - deep flutes clear chips efficiently so cordless drill drivers deliver more holes per charge, reducing downtime on the job
- Broad material compatibility - rated for hardwoods, softwoods, nail-embedded wood, and plywood, making this a single versatile bit that covers the most common wood boring tasks in framing, plumbing, and structural work

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that contains embedded nails?
Yes. This bit is specifically designed for nail-embedded wood applications. The Dura-Tip provides extreme durability when contacting embedded fasteners, and the dual cutting edge design allows the bit to continue boring smoothly through material that contains nails, reducing the risk of stalling or bit damage during drilling.
What shank type does this bit use, and which tools is it compatible with?
This auger bit features a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank, which is compatible with cordless and corded drill drivers and impact wrenches. The hex shank design increases stability and durability in the tool's chuck and allows fast bit changes without additional tools.
What is the working length of this bit, and why does it matter?
The working length - the portion of the bit that actively bores material - is 9 in., with a total bit length of 13 in. This extended reach allows the bit to bore deep holes through thick assemblies, wall framing cavities, floor structures, and stacked lumber where shorter bits would not reach the full depth required.
Which wood materials is this auger bit rated to drill?
This bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, nail-embedded wood, and plywood. It is suited for wood framing, stacked furniture construction, gardening, and plumbing applications, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of jobsite boring tasks.
