Product Description
The Diablo 5/8 in. x 7-1/2 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring tool engineered by Diablo for demanding wood drilling applications - including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded lumber where conventional bits struggle. Designed with a two-step cutting action and a self-feeding Dura-Tip, this auger bit delivers precise, clean holes with minimal effort, making it a reliable choice for wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, stacked furniture assembly, and gardening tasks. The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank ensures solid compatibility with cordless and corded drill/drivers, keeping your workflow moving efficiently on the job site or in the shop.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes - reduces tear-out and delivers professional-quality results in both clean wood and nail-embedded lumber
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip pulls the bit forward automatically - reduces the downward pressure required from the user for a smoother, more controlled drilling experience
- Dual cutting edge design - cuts through nail-embedded wood effortlessly, extending the usable life of the bit and reducing downtime from bit changes
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - clears debris out of the hole quickly so you get more holes per battery charge and less clogging in dense materials
- 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank - locks securely into cordless and corded drill/drivers and impact wrenches, improving stability and reducing wobble during use
- 5-1/2 in. working length within a 7-1/2 in. overall length - provides adequate reach for framing, plumbing, and routing tasks through standard wall and floor assemblies
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge combination means you can drill through used lumber, reclaimed wood, or framing with hidden nails without constantly stopping to switch bits or inspect for damage
- Deep flutes maximize productivity on battery-powered tools - faster chip evacuation means less heat buildup, fewer interruptions, and more holes completed before a recharge is needed
- The 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank works directly with standard drill/drivers and impact wrenches, so there is no need for adapters or extra chuck accessories when swapping between tools
- Versatile across multiple trades and project types - from wood framing and plumbing rough-ins to gardening and furniture assembly, this single 5/8 in. bit covers a wide range of everyday boring tasks in softwoods, hardwoods, and plywood

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that contains embedded nails?
Yes. The Diablo DAG1070 is specifically designed for nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together to bore through lumber containing nails, making it well suited for reclaimed wood, used framing, or any material where hidden fasteners may be present.
What shank type does the DAG1070 use, and which tools does it fit?
This auger bit features a 7/16 in. hex quick-change shank that is compatible with standard cordless and corded drill/drivers and impact wrenches. The hex shank locks securely into the chuck for added stability and reduced vibration during drilling.
What types of wood materials can this bit handle?
The Diablo 5/8 in. auger bit is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood - covering the full range of materials commonly encountered in wood framing, plumbing rough-in, gardening, and furniture assembly work.
Why do deep flutes matter on an auger bit?
Deep flutes accelerate chip evacuation, pulling wood waste up and out of the hole as you drill. This keeps the cutting zone clear, reduces friction and heat, and allows the bit to continue cutting efficiently - which is especially important when using cordless tools where battery life is a factor.
