Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Irwin WeldTec 13/16 in. D x 17 in. L Auger Bit is built for serious woodworkers who demand clean, deep holes with quick bit changes and lasting durability. This heavy-duty auger delivers reliable performance in busy workshop environments, from cabinetry to framing and electrical rough-ins.

Key features that set it apart

  • Diameter and reach: 13/16 in. hole diameter with a full 17 in. overall length, designed for deep, precise drilling without frequent re-drills.
  • Heat-treated construction: Cares for longevity and wear resistance under demanding drilling tasks, so you can rely on it project after project.
  • Quick-change hex shank: 7/16 in. shank enables fast, secure bit swaps with compatible drills and impact drivers, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
  • WeldTec line: Part of Irwin’s WeldTec family, emphasizing durability and performance for tough wood-boring jobs.
  • One-piece packaging important details: Includes a single auger bit ready to tackle your next deep-hole task (packaging details as specified).

Why you’ll love it

Whether you’re routing wires behind studs, drilling long holes for dowels, or crafting cabinetry where precision and finish matter, this auger bit shines. The long flute geometry helps move wood chips out of the hole efficiently, reducing clogging and improving overall hole quality. The quick-change hex shank minimizes downtime between holes, so you can maintain a steady, productive pace on the job site.

Ideal uses and scenarios

  • Electrical installations that require deep, straight holes for conduit and wiring paths.
  • Cabinetry, furniture making, and woodworking projects that benefit from clean, precise deep holes.
  • Hardwood and softwood drilling where chip evacuation and reduced bit changes save time.

Notes on distribution

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
