🔧 Pro Tip

When drilling deep holes with this 17-inch Ship Auger Bit, always clear the chips fully by backing the bit out every few inches. The extra-deep flutes help, but this best practice prevents heat buildup and maintains the aggressive cutting edge. Since the bit has a dual cutting edge designed for nails, use a high-torque drill (like a corded half-inch drill or high-power impact wrench) for maximum speed and smooth self-feeding performance.
