Product Description
The Diablo 7/16 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 drilling tasks in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood alike. Designed around a two-step cutting action, this auger bit delivers precise, clean holes with less effort - making it a reliable choice for wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, gardening installations, and stacked furniture assembly. Whether you are driving through clean lumber or drilling into boards with embedded fasteners, this bit is built to handle both without sacrificing speed or hole quality.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - reduces tear-out and keeps holes accurate, even in demanding framing and rough-in work
- Self-feeding Dura-Tip pulls the bit through nail-embedded wood - reduces the push force required and keeps the operator in control through tough material
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - lets you bore through embedded nails without stalling or damaging your bit prematurely
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - clears waste material quickly for more holes per battery charge, keeping productivity high on cordless tools
- 1/4 in. hex quick change shank increases stability and durability in cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers - swaps in and out of compatible chucks in seconds without extra tools
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edge work together so you can drill through lumber with embedded fasteners without stopping to remove nails or switching bits mid-task
- Compatible with both cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers via the 1/4 in. hex shank - a single bit integrates smoothly into the tool setups most framing, plumbing, and general carpentry crews already use
- Deep flute geometry supports longer run times between battery swaps - chip evacuation stays efficient hole after hole, which matters on high-volume jobs like framing walls or running pipe chases
- At 7-1/2 in. overall length with a 5-1/2 in. working length and 7/16 in. diameter, this bit covers a practical range of bore sizes needed in wood framing, plumbing rough-ins, and furniture construction

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this auger bit drill through wood that has embedded nails?
Yes. The Diablo DAG1040 is specifically designed for nail-embedded wood. The Dura-Tip self-feeds through the material while the dual cutting edge handles nails and fasteners embedded in the lumber, allowing you to continue drilling without stopping to clear hardware.
What type of shank does this bit use, and which tools is it compatible with?
This bit features a 1/4 in. hex quick change shank, which is compatible with cordless and corded impact wrenches and drill drivers. The hex shank design increases stability and durability and allows for fast bit changes without extra tooling.
What is the working length of this auger bit compared to its overall length?
The overall length of this bit is 7-1/2 in., and the working length - the portion of the bit that actively cuts - is 5-1/2 in. This gives you a solid reach for drilling through standard framing members, furniture components, and plumbing rough-in applications.
What materials can this auger bit drill through?
The Diablo DAG1040 is rated for use in hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood. It is suited for wood framing, stacked furniture, gardening, and plumbing applications where clean, precise holes are required.
