Irwin IR88714 Long Shank Wood Bore Bit 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN IR88714 is a long shank wood bore bit designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in wood framing, structural lumber, and similar materials. The extended shank length provides greater reach in deep or obstructed cavities where a standard-length bit would fall short. At 7/8 inch in diameter, this bit is a common choice for running conduit, pipe, or cable through wood members in residential and light commercial construction. Installation is handled by electricians, plumbers, and general contractors during rough-in work.

This bit is suited for through-hole applications in wood framing, floor joists, wall studs, and headers. Its 7/8 inch bore diameter accommodates typical conduit and pipe rough-in requirements. The long shank design is particularly useful when drilling through doubled framing members or working in tight spaces where standard bits cannot reach. Electricians and plumbers will find this bit practical during new construction and renovation rough-in stages.

Installation Notes
