  • Screw Point Design: Self-feeding action pulls bit through wood, reducing operator effort and improving control
  • Wood-Type Auger Construction: Optimized geometry for efficient drilling in soft woods and thin sections
  • Slow Back-Taper: Allows for easy bit retrieval and reduces binding in deep holes
  • 1/4" Shaft Diameter: Compatible with standard drill chucks and professional drilling equipment

Technical Specifications

  • Bit Diameter: 1.000 IN (25.400 MM)

  • Shaft Length: 54.000 IN (1371.600 MM)

Installation & Operation

  1. Mount the bit securely in a compatible drill chuck, ensuring proper alignment and tight grip on the 1/4" shaft.
  2. Mark the drilling location and ensure adequate clearance for the 54" shaft length during operation.
  3. Begin drilling at low speed, allowing the screw point to engage and pull the bit through the material.
  4. Maintain steady pressure and control, letting the auger design do the work to prevent binding.
  5. Withdraw the bit slowly using the back-taper design for easy retrieval from deep holes.
  6. Clean the bit after use and store properly to maintain cutting performance and prevent damage.

Greenlee 16-04-54A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How thick a wall or joist stack can I drill with a 54 inch D'VersiBIT?
Shaft length is 54 inches overall, so usable depth is that minus whatever you give up to the chuck and drill body. In practice it covers running cable down through a stud bay, through stacked plates, or across several joists from one setup without repositioning. For a single 2x wall plate a much shorter bit is easier to control.
2) Will this drill through metal studs or masonry?
No. This is a wood-type auger cut for soft woods and thin wood sections. Metal studs, plaster with lath, block, or concrete will destroy the screw point. For those substrates you need a step bit, hole saw, or masonry bit instead.
3) Is a 1 inch hole big enough for the cable I'm pulling through studs?
The bit cuts a 1 inch (25.4 mm) hole, which is the common rough-in size electricians use for bundling several NM cables or pulling low voltage runs through studs and joists. If you need a smaller hole for a single cable, a smaller diameter D'VersiBIT in the same 1/4 inch shaft family is the pick.
4) Should I use a screw point auger or a self-feed bit for wood framing?
The screw point on the 16-04-54A threads itself into the wood and pulls the bit forward, so it will not walk or skid when you start a hole and you push less. That is what you want in soft woods and thin sections. Where a screw point is the wrong choice is nail-embedded or engineered lumber and blind holes where you do not want the point breaking through the far face; a bit with a cutting tip rather than a feed screw suits that better.
5) Can I use this on a cordless drill at high speed?
Run it slow. The 54 inch shaft plus a self-feeding screw point means high RPM invites whip and binding; start at low speed, let the point bite, and keep steady pressure so the auger geometry does the cutting. A low-speed, high-torque drill with a side handle is the right tool for a 1 inch hole at this length.
6) Does this Greenlee bit get stuck in deep holes?
It is ground with a slow back-taper, meaning the body narrows behind the cutting head so the flutes are not dragging on the hole wall the whole depth. That reduces binding and lets you back the bit out of a deep hole. Withdraw it slowly rather than reversing hard and yanking.
7) What does the white color code mean on a D'VersiBIT?
White is the color code on the 16-04-54A, which is how Greenlee marks the wood-type bit with screw point within the D'VersiBIT range. Handy on a truck where several diameters and types ride in the same bucket and you want to grab the wood auger, not a different tip style.
