Freud DAG3010 Auger Bit 3/8 X 17-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3010 is a 3/8-inch by 17-1/2-inch auger bit engineered for drilling through nail-embedded wood. The self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit through material without manual pressure, while dual cutting edges produce clean, consistent holes in both green lumber and wood containing nails. Deep flutes accelerate chip evacuation, extending run time per battery charge on cordless tools. The DAG3010 is compatible with corded and cordless impact drivers and drill drivers. This bit is sold as a package of two. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who drill through framing for wire, pipe, or duct penetrations will find this bit well suited to production boring applications.

The DAG3010 is designed for use in residential and light commercial construction and renovation work. It is most commonly used when boring through wall studs, floor joists, and roof framing where embedded fasteners are likely. The extended 17-1/2-inch length allows the bit to reach through deep framing members and top plates without an extension. Trades that require repeated boring through structural lumber — rough-in electrical, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC ductwork penetrations — benefit from the bit's nail-embedded wood capability and deep-flute chip clearing.

Key Features

• Self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit through material, reducing feed pressure required from the operator
• Dual cutting edges deliver smooth, consistent holes in wood with embedded nails
• Deep flutes enhance chip evacuation for more holes per battery charge
• 17-1/2-inch length reaches through thick framing assemblies without an extension
• Compatible with both corded and cordless impact drivers and drill drivers
• Sold as a package of two bits per order

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex-shank corded and cordless drill drivers and impact drivers. Suitable for boring through framing lumber, engineered wood, and nail-embedded wood typical of residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors performing rough-in work. Confirm the driver chuck accepts the bit shank before use, and verify that the tool torque rating is appropriate for the bit diameter. Always wear eye protection when boring through nail-embedded wood, as nail contact can eject debris at high velocity. Inspect the cutting tip for damage before each use and discontinue use if the tip or flutes show signs of deformation.
