Irwin 3043011 Power Ship Auger Bit 7/8 Inch 17 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 3043011 is a 7/8 inch Power Ship Auger bit designed for heavy-duty boring in wood framing, timber, and structural lumber applications. The single-twist flute design with a screw point tip pulls the bit through material with consistent feed and minimal operator pressure. At 17 inches of overall length with 12 inches of twist, this bit reaches deep into structural members where shorter bits cannot. It is a standard tool for carpenters, framing crews, and electricians running cable through joists and studs.

This auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks including rough framing, timber boring, and through-drilling for conduit or cable runs. The screw point tip is optimized for solid wood and engineered lumber. The bit ships tubed, protecting the cutting edges during storage and transit on the job site. It is compatible with standard 7/8 inch auger bit chucks and heavy-duty corded drills capable of handling auger-style tooling.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by carpenters, framing crews, and electricians using heavy-duty corded drills or right-angle drills. Confirm the drill chuck is rated for auger bit shanks before use. Always clear chips periodically on deep bores to prevent binding. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
