Milwaukee 7/8 in. x 18 in. High Speed Steel Ship Auger Drill Bit

Works well

Must use a least a 10amp drill.

This is a great bit. I bought it for a job that required us to bore through red oak 4 x 4’s stacked on top of red oak 4 x 6’s so we could bolt them together. We drilled 48 holes back to back through 7 inches of red oak and this bit handled it like a champ. I was really impressed with the performance, I’ll definitely use these bits in the future.

I used this auger bit today on a deck I’m building. I was drilling through three 2×12’s and a 4×4 post to install 5/8″ carriage bolts. It cut through like butter and expelled all the shavings as it progressed. I didn’t hit any nails, so I can’t comment on it’s ability (as advertised) to deal with such, but it sure went through wet pressure treated lumber with ease. I got this drill to replace augers made by Bosch that I also purchased at Home Depot. A word of caution, the Bosch augers are so aggressive that they bore too deep too quickly and end up binding. In my case it caused the bit to stop and swung the body of the drill around nearly breaking my hand. I’m not a little guy and was using both handles on the 1/2 drill, still, I just couldn’t stop it. The Bosch augers are dangerous and I threw both of mine in the trash. This Milwaukee auger worked like a dream.

As an Electrical Contractor they seem to be the best bargin, from what we have used in the past they hold up real good

This drill bit worked excellent. I needed to drill through a 10 x 10 oak beam and once it caught the oak fibers it pulled itself through the beam quickly. I did use a high torque drill with handles but the bit cut through with ease. Nice and sharp.

These bites work but after a couple times need to send back for new ones

This was a replacement for one that broke, I guess they aren’t what they used to be.

Great bit, sharp and cuts through without any worries
