In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

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

Meet the Milwaukee 5/8 in. D x 6 in. L Ship Auger Bit in Hardened Steel — a purpose-built solution for clean, precise holes in wood, even when hidden nails try to throw you off. With a 5/8" cutting diameter and a 6" overall length, this bit is designed to handle deep pilot holes, hardware installations, and joinery with confidence.

Built to endure demanding work, this ship auger bit is heat treated for hardened steel durability. The combination of rugged construction and a self-feeding screw tip helps the bit start smoothly and pull through the wood, delivering accurate, clean holes in both new lumber and nail-embedded stock.

Key features that set this bit apart

  • 5/8" hole diameter for substantial, hardware-ready holes
  • 6" overall length for deeper drilling in framing, cabinetry, and thick boards
  • 7/16" hex shank for a secure fit in drills and quick-change adapters
  • Heat-treated hardened steel for extended bit life and sustained cutting performance
  • Specialized for drilling into clean or nail-embedded wood, reducing wear from hidden nails
  • Boxed packaging with a single bit for easy replacement and organized storage

Practical use cases

  • Framing and structural work: create deep, clean holes for screws, bolts, or dowels without wandering
  • Cabinetry and furniture making: precise 5/8" holes for hardware and joinery in solid or laminated wood
  • Renovation projects with reclaimed lumber: a durable option that tolerates embedded nails while maintaining hole integrity

Pro tips for optimal results

  • Start with a steady, controlled feed and let the screw tip pull the bit through the wood
  • Drill at a moderate speed to maintain cutting control and extend bit life
  • Periodically clear shavings to prevent heat buildup and ensure smooth cutting

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.
