Product Description
The Diablo 9/16 in. x 13 in. Auger Bit for Wood and Nail-Embedded Wood is a professional-grade boring solution engineered by Diablo for demanding wood drilling tasks including wood framing, plumbing rough-in, gardening, and stacked furniture construction. Designed to cut cleanly through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood without skipping a beat, this auger bit delivers the precision, speed, and durability that tradespeople and serious DIYers depend on. Its combination of a self-feeding tip, dual cutting edges, and deep chip-clearing flutes makes it a reliable go-to for any drill/driver application where clean, accurate holes are required.
Key Features
- Two-step cutting action for precise, clean holes in wood drilling applications - reduces tearout and produces professional-quality results in a single pass through hardwoods, softwoods, and plywood
- Dura-Tip self-feeding tip for extreme durability in nail-embedded wood - pulls the bit through material automatically so you apply less downward pressure, reducing fatigue during repetitive drilling
- Dual cutting edge design for effortless, smooth hole drilling in nail-embedded wood - lets you bore through wood with embedded fasteners without stalling or damaging your drill/driver
- Deep flutes for fast chip removal - evacuates wood debris quickly to keep the hole clear, resulting in more holes per battery charge when using a cordless drill/driver
- 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 compatible chucks instantly, saving time on the job site
Why This Product
- Built specifically for nail-embedded wood - the Dura-Tip and dual cutting edges handle embedded fasteners without stalling, making this auger bit ideal for demolition framing, salvaged lumber, and renovation work where hidden nails are common
- More holes per charge - deep flutes continuously clear chips from the bore, reducing friction and heat buildup so your cordless tool's battery lasts longer through extended framing or plumbing rough-in sessions
- Versatile across a wide range of wood materials - rated for hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and nail-embedded wood, this single bit covers the breadth of wood types encountered in framing, furniture assembly, gardening, and plumbing applications
- Quick-swap compatibility - the 7/16 in. hex shank fits standard quick-change chucks on cordless and corded drill/drivers and impact wrenches, allowing fast bit swaps without tools on busy job sites
