Milwaukee’s 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. Includes induction hardened tip for added nail durability.

This Bit was perfect for drilling holes in Railroad Ties, while replacing several rotted Ties in an existing Tie Wall. Prior to buying this bit, I burned up 2 spade bits. The higher cost of this bit is WELL worth the expense. It held up Great!!! I would definitely recommend this bit for any serious drilling.

I used this for drilling holes in my landscape timbers to drive rebar into. It’s a smooth cutting bit. It has some flex to it so be sure you are going the direction you want at the start because you can not force it. Overall it is a fast cut. The flutes do a great job of clearing the hole.

This is a great bit. I bought it for a job that required us to bore through red oak 4 x 4’s stacked on top of red oak 4 x 6’s so we could bolt them together. We drilled 48 holes back to back through 7 inches of red oak and this bit handled it like a champ. I was really impressed with the performance, I’ll definitely use these bits in the future.

Have drilled about 10 holes through old hard core wood and so far it is holding up great… Tried a store brand and it was full after 1 hole wasted 8 bucks… Stick with a brand name and you won’t waste money or time like I did

Milwaukee has a great bit here. I drilled three 9/16″ holes for 1/2″ galvanized bolts in a 12″ diameter treated southern yellow pine pile under my house in less than 2 minutes with my 1/2″ heavy duty Makita right angle drill. You can’t beat that.

Well worth the money. Went through a new (still quite “green”) utility pole very easily.

Great product made the job go smooth

Works as expected. Very little effort required when boring through 2×4 wall plates and 3/4″ flooring. Chews through nails easily as well.

The Auger bit was purchased to drill holes in a 1895 home that had timber installed for floor joust which a regular bit would not go thru. This bit went thru it like a hot knife thru butter.

Always great

I used this auger bit today on a deck I’m building. I was drilling through three 2×12’s and a 4×4 post to install 5/8″ carriage bolts. It cut through like butter and expelled all the shavings as it progressed. I didn’t hit any nails, so I can’t comment on it’s ability (as advertised) to deal with such, but it sure went through wet pressure treated lumber with ease. I got this drill to replace augers made by Bosch that I also purchased at Home Depot. A word of caution, the Bosch augers are so aggressive that they bore too deep too quickly and end up binding. In my case it caused the bit to stop and swung the body of the drill around nearly breaking my hand. I’m not a little guy and was using both handles on the 1/2 drill, still, I just couldn’t stop it. The Bosch augers are dangerous and I threw both of mine in the trash. This Milwaukee auger worked like a dream.
