IRWIN WeldTec 7/8" x 17" Ship Auger Drill Bit Quick Change Shank Fully Forged for Heavy Duty Rough Framing and Nail Embedded Wood

Unbreakable Power: The IRWIN WeldTec Ship Auger Bit for Nail-Embedded Wood

The IRWIN Ship Auger bit with WeldTec™ technology is the ultimate solution for professional electricians, plumbers, and framers who bore through rough and nail-embedded wood. Made stronger and designed to last longer than standard ship augers, this 7/8 inch by 17 inch bit features a revolutionary welded cutting edge that maintains its sharpness and structural integrity even when cutting through tough materials. The WeldTec cutting edge provides up to twice the nail-cutting life of conventional ship augers, dramatically reducing replacement costs and jobsite downtime.

Engineered for maximum performance, this bit features an aggressive screw pitch for faster drilling speeds and wide, fully-forged flutes that ensure maximum chip removal with less binding, even in deep-hole applications. The fully-forged body provides maximum durability and strength through the entire length of the bit. Furthermore, the 7/16 inch Quick-Change Impact shank allows for rapid attachment and secure, non-slip use in both standard drill chucks and modern impact drivers, offering incredible versatility on any heavy-duty jobsite.
