Greenlee 1-1/4" Nail Eater Extreme Shorty Auger Bit with Self-Feeding Screw Point
Professional drilling solution for tight spaces with nail-cutting capability
The Greenlee Nail Eater Extreme Shorty Auger Bit delivers professional performance in confined work areas where standard bits cannot reach. This 1-1/4" diameter bit features heat-treated steel construction and a patented design that cuts through nails while providing extended service life. The self-feeding screw point draws the bit through wood smoothly, while the compact 7-5/8" overall length allows access in tight spaces yet maintains capability to drill through three abutting 2x4s.
Professional Features & Benefits
