Product of the Day: Rugged Auger Bit From Bosch

  • Source: ebuild: Product of the Day
  • Publication date: 2010-09-03

Featuring a reinforced tip engineered to push aside hidden nails that could damage other bits, the Nailkiller auger bit lasts nine times longer than leading competitors, the firm states. Dual cutting edges then cut through the hidden fasteners, reducing torque reaction and cutting impact force by as much as 61%, according to the manufacturer. Dual reamer edges punch clean holes, lowering the risk of splinter damage to internal systems. The bit has a 7/16-inch shank (or specialty sizes) and comes in lengths from 7 1/2 inches and 24 inches, and diameters from 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inches.
