Augers

Auger drill bits from Diablo and Milwaukee for boring clean holes through framing lumber. The collection includes Diablo 7-1/2" auger bits for wood and nail-embedded wood in 3/4", 7/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8" and 1-1/2", and Milwaukee 6" and 6-1/2" ship auger bits.

Size the bit for the pipe or tube outside diameter plus clearance for isolators or insulation. Nail-embedded wood bits handle occasional nails in remodel work. Use a right-angle drill with a clutch or side handle for control, and check code limits on hole size and location in studs and joists.
