Milwaukee 3/8″ x 18″ Ship Auger Bit

ULTIMATE DURABILITY FOR DEEP-HOLE NAIL-EMBEDDED DRILLING

When boring through stacked 2x material or heavy timber that might hide old fasteners, the Milwaukee 48-13-5500 Ship Auger Bit is engineered to maintain its edge and structural integrity. Unlike traditional bits that dull or deflect upon nail contact, this bit utilizes a through-center cutting design and a 20-degree rake angle to slice through obstructions without sacrificing geometry. The 18-inch length provides the necessary reach for deep structural bores or overhead wire and pipe runs without the instability of an extension. By integrating an impact-rated shank, Milwaukee ensures this bit handles the aggressive torque of high-output impact drivers, making it a high-ROI staple for heavy-duty rough-ins and landscaping applications.

• / Through-Center Cutting Design: Provides a superior striking point against nails, preventing bit deflection and premature tooth wear.
• / Non-Stick Polished Flutes: The specialized coating ensures rapid chip ejection even in deep holes or material heavy with sap and glue.
• / 20 Rake Angle: A hardened, one-face design that significantly extends bit life when encountering hidden fasteners in reclaimed or structural lumber.
• / Impact-Rated Hex Shank: Engineered to withstand the high-torque demands of modern impact wrenches and drivers for maximum versatility.
• / 18-Inch Extended Reach: Eliminates the need for bit extensions when drilling through multiple studs, piers, or overhead beams.
