Robert Bosch Tool Group NKLT10 Long Auger Bit 5/8 in

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP NKLT10 is a long auger bit engineered for wood drilling in applications where nails and fasteners are present in the work material. Part of the Daredevil NailKiller line, this bit measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 17.5 inch overall length and a 13.5 inch flute length. The reinforced tip is built to withstand repeated nail strikes, and dual cutting edges are designed to cut through nails while maintaining balanced drilling action. The open-faced flute design promotes efficient chip removal during extended drilling runs. Licensed contractors, framers, electricians, and plumbers working in wood-framed construction will find this bit suited to production drilling through nailed lumber and structural members.

This auger bit is intended for use in wood substrates where embedded nails and fasteners are likely to be encountered. Typical applications include rough-in drilling through top plates, sill plates, and joists during electrical, plumbing, or mechanical rough-in work. The 7/16 inch shank fits standard drill chucks and right-angle drill drives commonly used in trade rough-in work. The reamer edge is incorporated to improve entry and exit hole quality, reducing tearout on both faces of the material.
