A WeldTec ship auger is made stronger and lasts longer than a standard auger: a harder cutting edge is welded to the base material, so it keeps cutting through tough materials like nail-embedded wood. An aggressive screw-pitch pulls the bit through for fast drilling, and wide flutes clear chips with less binding.

• 2X nail cutting life compared to standard Irwin ship augers
• Patent pending welded cutting edge for extreme life in tough materials, including nail-embedded wood
• Aggressive screw-pitch for fast drilling
• Wide flutes for chip removal with less binding
• Fully forged body for durability
• 3/4" cutting diameter
• 17" overall length
• 7/16" hex quick-change impact shank

Tip: Ship augers are built for boring through studs and joists to run wire or pipe - on deep holes, back the bit out periodically to clear chips and keep the flute from packing.
