Stewart Fastener NB14L Naileater Auger Bit 7/8x18

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER NB14L is a 7/8-inch by 18-inch Naileater auger bit designed for boring through wood framing that may contain embedded nails or fasteners. This bit is built for rough-in drilling applications where hitting metal is a real possibility, making it a practical choice for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers who drill through existing wall cavities, joists, and plates. The extended 18-inch length allows access to deep framing members without requiring an extension. Sold per package.

This auger bit is well-suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where trade professionals need to drill clean holes through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, or framing members that may conceal staples, screws, or nails from prior construction. It is a common choice for fish-wiring runs, pipe penetrations, and duct chase installations where re-drilling after hitting metal would slow the job significantly.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch diameter bore suited for standard wire and pipe rough-in applications
• 18-inch length provides reach through deep framing without an extension
• Naileater design allows the bit to cut through embedded nails and fasteners
• Reduces downtime caused by hitting hidden metal during drilling
• Sold per package for convenient stocking and resale

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement auger bit compatible with standard hex-shank or spade-drive corded drills and right-angle drills commonly used in rough-in trade applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians performing rough-in drilling. Always confirm power is de-energized in the area before drilling near existing wiring. Use appropriate eye and hand protection when drilling through framing that may contain embedded fasteners. Follow local code requirements for hole size and placement relative to framing members.
