Irwin 3043013 Power Ship Auger Bit 1 in 17 in Single Twist

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 3043013 is a Power Ship Auger bit designed for heavy-duty boring through wood framing, timber, and structural lumber. The bit features a single twist design with a screw point tip that pulls itself into the material for consistent, self-guided entry. At 1 inch in diameter and 17 inches in overall length with a 12-inch twist section, this bit is built for deep-bore applications where standard spade or brad-point bits fall short. It is packaged individually in a tube for protection and sold as part of a 24-unit case pack.

This auger bit is suited for residential and commercial construction, rough framing, and timber work where large-diameter holes are required through dimensional lumber, beams, or engineered wood members. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors use bits of this type to run conduit, pipe, or wire through structural members. The screw point design makes it well suited for use with standard corded or high-torque cordless drills and right-angle drill drivers commonly used in framing and rough-in work.

Key Features

• 1-inch cutting diameter for large-bore hole applications in wood
• 17-inch overall length with a 12-inch twist section for deep boring
• Single twist design for efficient chip and debris removal during drilling
• Screw point tip self-feeds into material, reducing applied pressure needed
• Tube packaging protects cutting edges during storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use auger bit compatible with standard hex or round shank drill chucks used on corded drills, cordless drills, and right-angle drill drivers accepting 1-inch ship auger bits.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a carpenter, electrician, plumber, or general contractor using a compatible drill with sufficient torque to drive a 1-inch auger through structural wood. Ensure the workpiece is secured before beginning the bore, and clear chips periodically on deep passes to prevent binding. Follow applicable building codes such as the IFGC or NEC when boring through structural members for mechanical or electrical rough-in work, as notching and boring limitations apply.
