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

Milwaukee’s 1 in. diameter x 18 in. ship auger bit is built for serious woodwork where durability and precision matter. Crafted from hardened steel and heat-treated for wear resistance, this bit stands up to the rigors of drilling through clean lumber and nail-embedded wood, delivering stable, straight holes from start to finish.

  • Diameter: 1 inch • Length: 18 inches — conquer deep holes in thick stock without swapping bits
  • Shank: 7/16" hex shank — maximum grip and reduced slippage in drill chucks
  • Material: Hardened steel with heat treatment for extended wear life
  • Usage: Specifically designed for drilling into clean or nail-embedded wood, making it ideal for framing, remodeling, and ship-era timber work
  • Packaging: Boxed, single piece
  • Marketplace note: Sale of this product on third-party online marketplaces is prohibited

Why this Milwaukee ship auger bit stands out

Unlike lighter-duty auger bits, this 18-inch, 1-inch bit is purpose-built for deep, accurate holes in wood that may contain nails. The combination of a hardened, heat-treated body and a hex shank means you’ll experience less wandering, improved alignment, and longer bit life—even when you’re drilling through tougher, nail-embedded boards.

Ideal use cases

  • Deep pilot holes for large-diameter screws or dowels in framing and decking projects
  • Drilling through nail-embedded lumber without sacrificing hole integrity
  • Long taps in thick timber where shorter bits would require multiple steps
  • Renovation and restoration work where nails and old hardware are common

Tips for best results

To maximize performance and bit life, start with a clean center mark, use a slow, steady feed rate, and let the bit’s hollow flute do the work. If you encounter a nail, back off slightly, center the hole again, and proceed—this bit is engineered to handle nail-embedded conditions more consistently than standard bits. Maintain your bit by wiping away wood debris and storing it in its box after use to prevent corrosion.

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.
