About Product Overview

The IRWIN WeldTec Ship Auger bores clean, deep holes through framing lumber, joists, and timbers where standard bits fall short. At 17 inches long, it reaches through doubled studs and thick beams in a single pass, saving time on wiring and plumbing runs. The WeldTec construction is heat treated for added durability, standing up to repeated use in dense or rough-sawn wood.

A quick-change hex shank lets you swap this bit in and out of compatible drivers without extra tools, which matters when you're moving between hole sizes on a job site. The 7/8-inch diameter suits common cable and conduit sizes, making this a practical pick for electricians, plumbers, and framers who need to drill through structural members quickly and accurately.

  • Diameter: 7/8 inch

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Irwin. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

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.
