Greenlee 62PTS58 5/8" x 7.54" Nail Eater® Shorty Bit, Heat-Treated Steel
The Greenlee 62PTS58 Nail Eater® Shorty Bit is a 5/8" x 7.54" auger-style boring bit engineered from super tough, heat-treated steel to cut straight through embedded nails without failing. Built with a hexagonal 7/16 IN shank, this shorty design lets electricians and installers work in tight framing cavities while still boring through three abutting 2 x 4s in a single pass. The patented cutting geometry delivers cleaner holes and smoother starts, making it a reliable choice for demanding rough-in and remodel wiring work.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 5/8" x 7.54" bit length for boring through framing members in confined spaces.
- Durable Construction: Made of super tough, heat-treated steel that cuts through nails and delivers longer bit life.
- Extended Cutting Life: Improved cutting edge provides 30% longer life span than earlier designs.
- Self-Feeding Point: Self-feeding screw point draws the bit through wood for faster, more controlled boring.
- Patented Cutting Design: New patented profile improves cutting performance and produces cleaner holes.
- Reduced Cutting Loads: Unique patented cutting angle enables smoother starts and reduced cutting loads on the drill.
- Shorty Design: Compact length is ideal for working in tight places while still boring through three abutting 2 x 4s.
