IRWIN 3043009 WeldTec 17"/3/4" Auger Wood Drill Bit

For installers who need fast, reliable holes through tough, nail-embedded wood, the IRWIN WeldTec 3/4 in x 17 in Auger Drill Bit delivers durable performance and longer life. This IRWIN Tools auger bit features a patent-pending WeldTec welded cutting edge that gives you twice the nail-cutting life of standard ship augers, minimizing downtime and replacement costs on security and surveillance projects. The aggressive screw pitch pulls the bit through wood for quicker drilling, while wide flutes provide superior chip evacuation to reduce binding—especially useful when running low-voltage cable or mounting camera anchors.

At 0.75 in (3/4 in) diameter with a 17 in maximum length and a 7/16 in quick-change impact shank, this auger bit is engineered for professional installers who need reach, durability and quick tool changes. The fully-forged body adds toughness for repeated use across networking, monitoring and security installs. Use the IRWIN WeldTec auger to speed camera pole mounts, conduit entry holes, or long-run cable pathways. Order now to reduce jobsite interruptions and keep your security and low-voltage installations on schedule.
