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 a dependable woodworking ally: the Milwaukee 3/8 in. D x 6 in. L Ship Auger Bit, forged in hardened steel and heat-treated for lasting performance. Built to bore clean, accurate holes in both clean wood and nail-embedded wood, this bit is ready for framing, cabinetry, and decking projects where nails are a reality and precision is non‑negotiable.

Why this Milwaukee Ship Auger Bit stands out

  • Heat treated hardened steel delivers extended wear resistance, helping the bit stay sharp longer when you encounter knots, resin, or embedded nails.
  • 6 in. length lets you reach deeper into thicker stock without re‑drilling or repositioning, increasing efficiency on the job.
  • 3/8 in. cutting diameter provides versatile hole sizes suitable for many fasteners, dowels, and hardware common in wood projects.
  • 7/16 in. hex shank offers a secure grip and compatibility with standard drill chucks and quick-change adapters, reducing bit slip during heavy cuts.
  • Ship auger design with a geometry that helps clear chips smoothly, promoting steadier boring and cleaner hole walls.
  • Boxed packaging and 1 piece per package for straightforward storage and single‑use convenience on the jobsite.

Ideal uses and practical applications

This bit is purpose-built for drilling into wood where nails may be encountered or embedded. Use cases include:

  • Framing and structural carpentry where you need a reliable, long bit that resists dulling from occasional nails.
  • Decking, trim, and cabinetry work where clean, precise holes improve the fit of fasteners and hardware.
  • Renovation or remodeling projects where you drill through older wood that might harbor hidden nails.

Tips for best results

  • Start with a pilot hole if you're drilling into particularly hard wood to guide the auger and reduce wandering.
  • Let the bit do the work—avoid forcing it through wood to minimize heat buildup and maximize bit life.
  • Keep the bit clean of chips during drilling to maintain cutting efficiency and hole quality.

For anyone serious about durable, precise woodworking in environments with hidden nails or nail‑embedded stock, the Milwaukee 3/8 in. D x 6 in. L Ship Auger Bit (hardened steel, heat-treated) is a dependable choice that blends rugged construction with practical, real‑world usefulness.

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.
