The DEWALT DW1690 1-1/4-in. x 17-in. Power Ship Auger Bit is engineered for the professional tradesman who needs to bore large-diameter, deep holes through the most challenging structural materials. Crafted from premium hardened alloy steel that has been heat-treated and tempered, this bit is designed to withstand the extreme torque of industrial drilling. The innovative dual-cutting edge provides maximum durability when encountering hidden nails, allowing you to power through recycled lumber or heavy framing without the frequent bit changes required by standard wood bits.

The specialized hollow center flute ensures aggressive chip extraction, preventing clogging and heat buildup even in 17-inch deep bores. Equipped with a 7/16-inch ball groove shank, the DW1690 allows for rapid bit swaps in quick-change chucks and impact drivers. Whether you are running heavy-duty electrical conduit, plumbing lines, or securing timber framing, this DEWALT ship auger bit delivers the industrial reliability and speed your jobsite demands.

Pro-Tip: When using a 1-1/4" auger bit, always use a drill with a side handle. The self-feed spur pulls aggressively, and if the bit hits a large knot or nail, the high torque can cause the tool to kick. Maintaining a two-handed grip ensures safety and keeps your holes perfectly straight through thick timber.
