3043004 Power Ship Auger Bit, 3/8-in. Dia, 17-in. Oal

The Irwin Power Ship Auger Bit with WeldTec™ technology is engineered for professionals and serious DIYers who need to drill clean, deep holes through wood, including nail-embedded timber and utility poles. This ship auger delivers superior durability and performance compared to standard auger bits, making it ideal for fence post installation, power line work, logging, and heavy-duty drilling applications where reliability and speed matter.

Built with a welded cutting edge and fully-forged construction, this bit cuts through tough materials with twice the nail-cutting life of conventional ship augers. The aggressive screw-pitch design accelerates drilling speed, while wide flutes maximize chip removal and reduce binding, keeping the cutting path clear and minimizing the need to stop and clear debris during deep drilling tasks.
