Freud DAG3040 Auger Bit 9/16x17-1/2 Inches Nail Wood 2-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3040 is a 9/16-inch by 17-1/2-inch auger bit engineered for drilling through nail-embedded wood. The self-feeding dura-tip draws the bit into the material without requiring downward pressure, while dual cutting edges work together to produce clean, consistent bores even when nails are present. Deep spiral flutes channel chips out of the hole aggressively, reducing clogging and extending the number of holes achievable per battery charge. This bit is built for licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians running cable or pipe through framed walls and floor joists during rough-in work. Sold as a 2-pack.

This auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in applications where drilling through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and framing members containing embedded nails is routine. It is compatible with both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers, making it practical on job sites where tool options vary. Electricians pulling wire through stud bays and plumbers boring through sill plates will find the bit length useful for reaching deep through multiple members in a single pass.

Key Features

• Self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit forward for reduced operator fatigue during repetitive drilling
• Dual cutting edges deliver smooth, consistent holes in wood with embedded nails
• Deep flutes evacuate chips efficiently, supporting more holes per battery charge
• 17-1/2-inch length allows single-pass boring through deep framing assemblies
• Compatible with cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers
• Sold as a 2-pack for job-site backup availability

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers. Suitable for nail-embedded wood drilling in residential and light commercial rough-in applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically installed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in framing work. Confirm the bit shank is fully seated and locked in the chuck or impact driver before drilling. When boring through walls or floors, verify there are no concealed utilities in the drill path before proceeding. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IPC for required hole placement clearances and sleeve or grommet requirements where the bit breaks through a framing member.
