Irwin 3043006 WeldTec Ship Auger Bit – 9/16” X 17” With Welded Cutting Edge & Quick-Change Shank

About This Product

If you need to bore through wood and don’t want to mess around with dull bits, this Irwin WeldTec ship auger is a total beast.

It’s a 9/16-inch bit with a 17-inch overall length, and the cutting edge is actually welded on – not just hardened on the surface – which makes it way tougher and longer-lasting than your average auger.

In fact, it cuts through nails like butter and lasts about twice as long as the older Speedbor ship augers.

The screw pitch is aggressive, so it pulls itself into the wood fast, saving you elbow grease, and the wide flutes do a great job clearing out chips so you don’t get clogged up mid-drill.

Plus, it’s got a 7/16-inch quick-change shank, which fits most impact drivers and makes swapping bits a snap – no more fiddling with chucks.

Whether you’re a pro framer, an electrician running wire, or a serious DIYer, this bit is built for heavy-duty drilling in wood, even when there’s hidden nails lurking.

It’s from Irwin, so you know it’s solid quality.
Bottom line: if you want a bit that’s tough, fast, and stays sharp longer, this one’s a winner.
