Milwaukee 48-13-5620 Ship Auger Bit 5/8 X 18 Inch

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-13-5620 is a 5/8-inch by 18-inch ship auger bit engineered for fast, aggressive hole drilling in both clean and nail-embedded wood. The through-center cutting design extends bit life when working through framing that contains embedded fasteners, a common condition on remodel and retrofit jobs. Coated flutes create a non-stick surface that promotes rapid, smooth chip ejection, which is especially valuable when drilling deep holes where material packing is a real concern. The shank is impact-rated, adding durability and broadening compatibility with both standard and impact-capable drills.

This bit is sized and configured for trade professionals who drill through structural wood members on a daily basis. Electricians routing conductors through framing, plumbers running pipe penetrations, and utility workers boring through dimensional lumber all benefit from the extended 18-inch reach and the 5/8-inch diameter that suits common conduit, pipe sleeve, and wire routing applications. The bit comes in a reusable hanging container suitable for tool-bag or van-rack storage.

Key Features

• Through-center cutting design rated for nail-embedded wood, reducing bit breakage on hidden fasteners
• Coated flutes produce a non-stick surface for fast, smooth chip ejection in deep holes
• Impact-rated shank for added durability across corded, cordless, and impact-capable drill drivers
• 5/8-inch diameter and 18-inch length cover deep-reach framing penetration tasks
• Reusable hanging container for organized jobsite storage

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex-shank and round-shank drill chucks; impact-rated shank also suits impact-capable drill drivers. Appropriate for drilling through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and nail-embedded framing common in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals drilling penetrations through wood framing. Secure the bit firmly in the drill chuck before operation and confirm the shank is fully seated. When drilling through wall or floor assemblies, verify the boring path is clear of energized conductors, gas lines, and structural fasteners before proceeding. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection, as chip ejection from deep holes can be forceful.
