Diablo Auger Bit DAG3010 3/8 Inch x 17-1/2 Inch Extended Reach Impact Rated Hex Shank Self-Feeding Dura-Tip Wood Boring Drill Attachment Hidden Nails

Extended Reach Wood Boring Auger Attachment with Threaded Self-Feeding Tip for High-Torque Impact Drivers

The Diablo DAG3010 3/8-Inch x 17-1/2-Inch Extended Length Auger Bit is a deep-reach boring accessory engineered for drilling precise utility paths through clean or nail-embedded framing timber framing. Equipped with a self-feeding threaded Dura-Tip lead point, this impact-rated bit pulls itself through dense material automatically under low axial force to diminish user fatigue during commercial electrical rough-ins. A standardized 1/4-inch hex shank delivers high stability inside high-torque drivers, coordinating a two-step cutting action and deep flute profile to slice through hidden subfloor fasteners and evacuate wood chips over a 13-1/2 inch maximum working depth.

Best Used For:

• Nail-Embedded Utility Rough-In: Bores 3/8-inch pathways cleanly through stacked structural wood plates and remodel framing containing hidden or embedded framing nails.
• Stacked Joist Pass-Throughs: Drills high-velocity straight holes through multiple consecutive 2x12 floor joists and deep wall plates to route cabling paths.
• Heavy Landscape Timber Boring: Leverages a 17-1/2 inch overall length to drill straight anchoring openings through thick pressure-treated retaining walls and external posts.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Dura-Tip Self-Feed Point: Threaded guide lead tip draws the bit into lumber automatically, dropping the manual push pressure needed.
• Two-Step Cutting Geometry: Specialized blade profile balances material slicing and high-impact resilience to cross hidden metal fasteners without breaking.
• Dual Cutting Edge Boundaries: Twin scoring borders plow through tough timber grains evenly to provide smooth hole margins and eliminate drilling wander.
• Deep-Evacuation Flute Channel: High-volume spiral flutes force wood fibers out instantly to reduce thermal friction and maximize cordless battery runtime.
• Impact Ready Hex Shank: Hardened 1/4-inch hex quick-change shank locks securely into impact driver chucks to prevent chuck spinout and shear fractures.

What's Included

• (1) Diablo 3/8" x 17-1/2" Dura-Tip™ Auger Bit (DAG3010)

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Maintain a straight drilling angle over the full 17-1/2 inch extension and let the threaded self-feeding tip draw the auger bit through timber at a steady pace; backing the tool out slightly on deep runs clears dust pathways and keeps the dual cutting edges working efficiently.
