At 3\/8 inch in diameter with a 6-inch overall length, this single-end bit is built for electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who need reliable performance drilling through structural lumber, framing, and engineered wood. The induction-hardened tip and 20-degree rake angle geometry are engineered to resist nail damage and maintain a clean cutting edge through repeated use without resharpening. An impact-rated shank allows the bit to be used with both standard drills and impact drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ship auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work involving Romex wire, PEX water lines, rebar, bolts, and rope. Common installation scenarios include drilling through wall plates, floor joists, and rim boards, as well as structural applications in piers, playground equipment, and landscaping. The longer shaft length provides reach for deep holes and overhead drilling without requiring a separate extension. Wide, polished, and coated flutes prevent chip buildup, including in wood containing sap or adhesive residue, which reduces downtime during production drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction with induction-hardened tip for extended nail resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-degree rake angle design enhances chip removal and simplifies field sharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNonstick polished and coated flutes minimize chip adhesion in sap- or glue-containing materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-rated shank compatible with both standard drills and impact wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrough-center cutting geometry provides a solid strike point against embedded fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended shaft length supports deeper holes and overhead drilling without an extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit ship auger bit for use in 3\/8-inch chuck drills and impact drivers accepting hex or round shanks rated for auger bit use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShip auger bits of this type are installed by licensed electricians and plumbers during rough-in phases and by general contractors on structural boring tasks. Verify the drill or impact driver is rated for auger bit use before operation, and ensure the workpiece is secured before drilling. When drilling into existing structures, use a stud finder or wire detector to identify embedded fasteners and utilities. Follow applicable NEC and IPC requirements when routing wiring or piping through structural members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Impact-Rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight (packaged)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (packaged)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0045242225743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48-13-0373\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345378279730,"sku":"48-13-0373","price":29.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310511842.jpg?v=1782056384","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-48-13-0373-ship-auger-bit-3-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
