Freud DAG3050 Auger Bit 5/8 X 17-1/2 Inches 2-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3050 is a 5/8-inch by 17-1/2-inch auger bit engineered for drilling through nail-embedded wood. The self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit forward automatically, reducing operator effort and maintaining consistent feed rate. Dual cutting edges work together to produce a smooth, clean bore in both clean lumber and wood with embedded fasteners. Deep spiral flutes clear chips rapidly, which reduces heat buildup and extends the number of holes achievable per battery charge. Sold as a 2-pack, the DAG3050 is suited for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers who routinely bore through framed walls and floor joists.

This auger bit is designed for residential and commercial rough-in work where long-reach boring through dimensional lumber and nail-embedded framing is required. Typical applications include running conduit, pipe, or flex duct through wall studs and floor assemblies. The 17-1/2-inch length provides the reach needed for through-framing passes without extensions. The bit is compatible with cordless and corded impact drivers and standard drill drivers, making it versatile across the tool setups common on trade job sites.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other trades during rough-in framing work. Ensure the chuck or collet is fully engaged before operating. When boring through walls or floors, verify there are no live wires, pressurized lines, or other utilities in the drilling path before starting. Wear appropriate eye protection, as nail contact can eject metal fragments at high velocity.
