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 for added nail durability
- Flutes are coated to produce a non-stick surface for fast and smooth chip ejection, especially in deep holes
- Impact-rated shank

Does the job well. Still eating through wood studs without a problem.

Drills through 2x4s like nothing with my Milwaukee brushless compact drill, even in second gear! Great for an electrician!

Super durable and remains sharp. Drilled holes for 3 story house

Did the job I needed to do effortlessly and quick.

High quality, as expected from Milwaukee. The shank is fits into a 7/16″ hex extension. This allows for greater flexibility when trying to find the correct length to clear obstructions, yet penetrate through the layers of wood. Going through top-plates (and bottom-plates) you never know where the framers put nails. Being able to blast through them without damage to the drill bit is key. The hole may not be as “clean” as the version with spurs, but this is meant for rough-in work, and not for Fine Woodworking. 😉

very sharp cuts through joists with ease.

Thought it would be a bit longer but it did ok for what I needed it to do. Doesn’t like a 3/8″ drill though couldn’t fingmd my 1/2″ utility drill.

I used this auger bit to drill a hole in my subfloor to install a large screw to hold my newel posts. It’s a very well made bit. Hopefully I can use it again.

great bit, works fast.

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.

I like using the bit because it last a long time

Nice clean hole. Very little splintering.

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.

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.

This drill eats though anything

Works great. Drills easily with clean holes

I have a Milwaukee heavy duty adjustable angled hole saw. I use only Milwaukee auger bits and these new ones are different than my old ones. I like these new bits better because they don’t blow the back of a hole like the other ones did. These plow through the wood like it was butter and leave a clean hole on both sides of the lumber.

I am an electrician and a auger bit is a auger bit. the real test comes when you run into a nail. so far so good

Tears through wood but make sure you have a strong drill to back it up.
