The Milwaukee ship auger bits have a new through center cutting design for improved life in nail-embedded wood. The flutes are coated, which produces a non-stick surface for fast and smooth chip ejection, especially in deep holes. The shanks are also impact rated for added durability and versatility no matter the trade. Ideal for electricians, plumbers, utilities and any trade requiring fast hole drilling in clean or nail-embedded wood.
- Steel construction for strength
- Induction-hardened tip provides nail durability
- Coated flutes for fast chip removal
- Impact-rated shank

I had to drill two 3/4″ holes through an EMCO storm door to mount the handle. The bit quickly drilled through the aluminum skin and the particle board. The holes were straight. The aluminum deformed badly, but it was barely thicker than foil.The shank fits a Milwaukee M18 1/2″ keyless chuck.

Used it to drill over 100 holes in pressure treated lumber. I found it makes a rough entry so I used a forstner bit for the first 1/4″ instead. This drill will grab and pull easily through the wood. Leaves a clean exit. I was doing a project where I needed clean ends so using the combination of drill bits was necessary. However this drill bit is fast and saved me a ton of time and arm fatigue. Recommended over the blade bits which always seem to break and make a mess.

great drill bit. 7/16 hex shanks fits Quik-Lok chuck on Super Hawg drill. Goes through a 2×4 in about 1 second! Excellent!

was well pleased with this bit, wired complete house, drilled all holes and never had to sharpen.

This thing works so well I stopped half way thru my project to write this review!Having to drill thru about 30 floor joist to pull wire thru for an outdoor sauna, I started with an older spade bit and agonized over the first 2 for five minutes. Got this one and they literally drill themselves.No pressure needed, awkward spots no problem, takes less then 5 seconds to get thru a 2x.I highly recommend getting this bit!

Works fine , heavier shaft seems to hold up well from bending or breaking

As an electrician, having a 7/8″ auger bit is necessary, the size of 1/2″ conduit. This seemed to be a good fit, and at a good price. Sadly, I have some problems getting auger bits over 7/8″ in the store, so maybe Home Depot should try and consider the sizes needed for plumbing and electrical installations, and have sizes at least through 1″ available IN the store (that means up to 1 3/8″

Good clean cuts for the first 50 or so cuts. Not there is a bunch of windings left that are still attached to the studs, beans etc you are cutting through. Their longer versions do the same thing. Milwaukee’s ship augers (with replaceable blade) doesn’t have this problem.

This is the best drill bit for plowing through 2x4s that I have found. Makes it effortless, even through a three board stack on a top plate.

Very good tool

Extremely durable. As long as you do not go through to many nails and dull it out.
