Irwin 48213 Auger Utility Drill Bit 13/16x24 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN 48213 is a heavy-duty auger utility drill bit designed for boring through wood in demanding field applications. Measuring 13/16 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, this bit is sized for deep-penetration drilling tasks where standard-length bits fall short. It is built for use with impact wrenches and high-torque drivers, making it a practical choice for utility installation work. At 0.5 pounds, the bit is easy to handle on the job site. Electricians, utility contractors, and pole-line workers are the primary installers for this type of tooling.

This auger bit is well-suited for utility pole work and similar applications where long-reach drilling through structural wood members is required. The 24-inch length allows access to drilling locations that shorter bits cannot reach, including cross-arm installations, conduit routing through framing, and anchor bolt clearance holes. It is compatible with impact wrench drive setups common in utility and electrical contractor workflows.

Key Features

• 13/16-inch diameter for standard utility boring applications
• 24-inch length provides extended reach for deep or through-member drilling
• Rated for impact wrench use, suitable for high-torque drive tools
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for reduced fatigue during overhead or elevated work
• Single-piece packaging for individual replacement or toolbox stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style utility auger bit for use with impact wrenches and compatible high-torque drill drivers in utility pole and structural wood drilling applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by licensed electricians and utility line workers. Ensure the drive tool is rated for impact or high-torque use before mounting the bit. Inspect the bit for cracks or wear before each use, and never use a damaged auger bit in an overhead or elevated setting. Follow applicable OSHA and NFPA 70E guidelines when drilling in or near energized utility environments.
