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

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 3/8 in. (D) x 18 in. Bellhanger Auger Bit in steel is built for professional-grade wire installations where precision, reach, and durability matter. This bit pairs a long, slender profile with a heat-treated blade to deliver clean, straight holes through wood for wiring runs in walls, ceilings, and floors — from electrical to data and low-voltage cabling.

Why this Bellhanger Auger Stands Out

Designed with a 3-flat shank, this 3/8" auger bit stays securely seated in your drill or bit driver, delivering consistent torque transfer and reducing cam-out during deep boreings. The 18" length provides exceptional reach for trenching through multiple joists or thick framing without sacrificing control, making it ideal for bellhanger projects where long, continuous holes are essential.

  • Heat-treated steel for increased wear resistance and lasting edge sharpness, so you’re not re-sharpening or replacing bits mid-project.
  • Long, narrow profile designed to minimize tear-out and create smooth interior walls of bore holes, supporting clean cable runs from crawl spaces to attics.
  • 3/8" diameter suits common small-to-mid sized wiring and conduit needs while maintaining structural integrity through wood members.
  • 3-flat shank ensures secure engagement with drill chucks and impact-ready drivers, reducing slippage in demanding installations.

Ideal Use Scenarios

This bit excels in professional and DIY settings where you need to run wires through wood framing efficiently. Use it for:

  • Installing computer, networking, or home theater cabling through studs and joists with minimal resistance and clean holes.
  • Bellhanger-style projects where long, straight bore access is required across walls and ceilings.
  • Reworking or adding low-voltage lines in existing structures without creating multiple shallow holes.

Practical Tips for Best Results

  1. Mark the exact drilling path and start with a small pilot hole to guide the auger tip for precise alignment.
  2. Maintain steady feed pressure and let the flutes do the work — avoid forcing the bit to reduce wandering and tear-out.
  3. Deburr the exit hole to prevent cable damage and ease installation of wires or conduits.
  4. Use the bit in a drill with a suitably large chuck to accommodate the 3-flat shank for secure, vibration-free operation.

What You Get

One Milwaukee 3/8 in. x 18 in. Bellhanger Auger Bit in steel, boxed for protection during storage and transport. This dedicated tool is ready to tackle long, clean holes in wood for precise wiring runs, making it a wise addition to electricians’, contractors’, and serious DIYers’ tool kits.

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.
