Greenlee 1-1/4" Nail Eater Extreme Shorty Auger Bit with Self-Feeding Screw Point

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

• 1-1/4" Bit Diameter: Provides precise hole sizing for professional electrical and plumbing installations requiring larger openings.
• Nail-Cutting Capability: Cuts through nails encountered during drilling, eliminating work stoppage and bit damage common with standard auger bits.
• Heat-Treated Steel Construction: Delivers superior durability and extended service life under demanding professional use conditions.
• Extreme Shorty Design: 7-5/8" overall length enables drilling in tight spaces while maintaining full drilling capacity through multiple framing members.
