The Milwaukee® 1-1/16" x 18" Ship Auger Bits easily drill into clean and nail-embedded wood without needing resharpening. Speeds up installation of Romex wire, Pex water lines, rebar, bolts, rope in piers, playground equipment, landscaping, and many other materials. The flutes are wider for easy chip removal and the polished and coated flute finish means chips won't stick to the bit, even material that contains sap or glue. The through-center cutting design creates a more solid striking point against nails compared to the competitions' ahead-of-center and behind-center designs. The long shaft length makes it easy to drill deeper or overhead without an extension.
