Product Description
The Diablo 5/8 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 wood drilling tasks in framing, plumbing, gardening, and furniture applications. Designed to cut cleanly through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood, this auger bit combines a self-feeding tip with a dual cutting edge to deliver smooth, effortless hole boring on every pass. Whether you are running rough-in plumbing lines through stacked framing lumber or drilling access holes through older nail-laden wood, this bit is purpose-built to handle the challenge with precision and speed.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - produces accurate, splinter-reduced results so follow-up cleanup work is minimized
- Dura-Tip self-feeding design for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - the tip pulls the bit forward automatically, reducing operator pressure and fatigue during extended drilling sessions
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - lets the bit push through tough, fastener-filled framing lumber without bogging down or binding
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - evacuates wood chips quickly so the bit stays cool and clears the hole efficiently, delivering 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 - the positive-lock shank connection reduces wobble and bit slippage for consistent, controlled boring
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - most standard wood bits dull or deflect when they contact embedded fasteners, but this bit's Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge are designed to bore through those conditions without premature wear or loss of accuracy.
- Long 17-1/2 in. overall length with a 13-1/2 in. working length - reaches deep into wall cavities and floor joists for framing and plumbing rough-in work where shorter bits simply cannot reach the target depth.
- Compatible with both cordless and corded tools via the 7/16 in. hex quick change shank - fits standard drill drivers and impact drivers without adapters, making it a versatile addition to any job site toolkit.
- Deep-flute chip evacuation keeps drilling momentum high - by clearing debris rapidly, the bit sustains cutting speed longer per charge, which directly reduces downtime on battery-powered tools during wood framing and plumbing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit be used with a cordless drill driver?
Yes. The 7/16 in. hex quick change shank is designed to increase stability and durability in both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers, making it compatible with the most common job site power tools.
What types of wood materials can this bit drill through?
This Diablo auger bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge are specifically engineered to handle the added stress of boring through wood that contains embedded nails or fasteners.
What is the effective working length of this bit?
The working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts and clears material - is 13-1/2 in. The overall length of the bit is 17-1/2 in., providing the reach needed for deep cavity drilling in wood framing and plumbing rough-in applications.
How does the deep-flute design benefit battery-powered tool users?
The deep flutes enhance chip evacuation, clearing wood debris from the hole faster during the drilling process. This reduces resistance on the bit and motor, which in turn helps extend the number of holes you can complete on a single battery charge - an important advantage in wood framing and plumbing work.
