Deep-Bore Industrial Precision: Heavy-Duty 17" Power Ship Auger Bit for Nail-Embedded Lumber and Structural Timber

The DEWALT DW1686 15/16-in. x 17-in. Power Ship Auger Bit is the professional’s choice for boring deep, clean holes through the most challenging structural materials and thick-stock timbers. Crafted from premium hardened alloy steel that has been heat-treated and tempered, this bit is specifically designed to withstand the high-torque demands 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.

Efficiency is built into every spiral of this heavy-duty bit. An aggressive self-feed spur pulls the bit into the wood for fast, effortless penetration, while the hollow center flute ensures superior chip extraction to prevent clogging and heat buildup in deep holes. Equipped with a 7/16-inch ball groove shank, the DW1686 allows for lightning-fast bit swaps in quick-change chucks and impact drivers. Whether you are running heavy electrical conduit, plumbing lines, or securing timber framing, this DEWALT ship auger bit delivers the industrial reliability and speed your jobsite demands.

Key Features

  • Nail-Ready Durability: Dual cutting edges provide maximum resistance and longevity when encountering nails in wood.
  • Fast Penetration: Integrated self-feed spur pulls the bit through the timber for expedited drilling.
  • Aggressive Chip Extraction: Hollow center flute design quickly clears wood shavings to reduce friction and prevent binding.
  • Hardened Alloy Steel: Heat-treated and tempered construction for superior bit life and high-torque resistance.
  • Quick-Change Shank: 7/16" ball groove shank ensures a secure fit and rapid bit swaps in compatible drills and impact drivers.
  • Industrial Length: 17-inch reach is ideal for boring through thick structural beams or multiple stacked studs.

Pro-Tip: When boring deep holes with a 15/16" ship auger, always use a drill with a side handle. The self-feed spur pulls aggressively, and if the bit hits a nail or knot, the high torque can cause the tool to kick. A two-handed grip ensures safety and keeps your holes perfectly straight through thick structural timber.
