Freud DAG3030 Auger Bit 1/2 X 17-1/2 Inches 2-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3030 is a heavy-duty auger bit engineered for drilling through nail-embedded wood in both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 17-1/2 inches in length, this bit is built for aggressive wood boring applications where embedded fasteners would destroy standard bits. The self-feeding dura-tip draws the bit forward automatically, reducing operator effort. Dual cutting edges work together to produce clean, smooth holes through dense or fastener-laden lumber. Deep spiral flutes accelerate chip evacuation, keeping the cutting zone clear and extending battery runtime per charge. Each package contains 2 bits.

The DAG3030 is suited for residential and light commercial framing, demolition, and retrofit work where drilling through existing wood assemblies containing nails or screws is routine. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians running pipe, conduit, or duct through stud bays and floor joists will find this bit a reliable tool for board-penetration tasks. The extended 17-1/2 inch length allows drilling through double-stud walls and thick structural members from a single setup position without extension accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians drilling penetrations through wood framing members. Confirm the driver chuck is fully secured before operation and verify the target material for unexpected obstructions beyond nails, such as live wiring or pipe. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when drilling through nail-embedded material, as metal fragments may be ejected. Follow all applicable trade codes governing penetration sealing and firestopping after the hole is made.
