Irwin IR88706 Long Shank Wood Drill Bit 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN IR88706 is a 3/8-inch long shank wood drill bit designed for use with electric drills in woodworking and carpentry applications. The extended shank length gives tradespeople and installers the reach needed to bore through framing, blocking, and structural members where a standard-length bit falls short. This bit is sold individually and suits professionals who need a reliable, single-piece solution for drilling clean holes in wood substrates during rough-in or finish work.

The IR88706 is well suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where drilling through wood framing, subflooring, or wood blocking is required. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers commonly use long shank wood bits when routing wire, pipe, or duct penetrations through structural wood members. The 3/8-inch diameter is a common size for low-voltage wiring and small-diameter conduit or tubing pass-throughs.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter cutting tip for consistent hole sizing
• Long shank design provides extended reach for deep or obstructed drilling locations
• Compatible with standard electric drill chucks
• Sold individually for single-piece procurement flexibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard electric drills accepting a long shank wood bit configuration. Suitable for boring holes in softwood and hardwood framing materials.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians working with electric handheld or stationary drills. Ensure the drill is powered off and the bit is fully seated and secured in the chuck before operation. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or IFGC when drilling penetrations for mechanical or electrical rough-in work. Do not use this bit on metal, masonry, or composite materials not rated for wood-boring bits.
