Ideal Industries Nailbiter Long Ship Auger Bit

Ideal Industries Nailbiter Long Ship Auger Bit

The Ideal Industries Nailbiter Long Ship Auger Bit is a family of boring bits built for electricians, contractors, and tradespeople who need to drill clean, straight holes through wood studs, joists, and framing members when running cable, conduit, or plumbing lines. This Nailbiter long ship auger is available in trade sizes ranging from 5/8" through 1-1/8", covering the diameters most commonly required for standard low-voltage and electrical wiring runs as well as slightly larger conduit and cable bundles. As part of Ideal Industries' Nailbiter line, these long ship augers are designed to handle the demanding, repetitive drilling tasks common on job sites where speed and durability matter just as much as accuracy. Whatever diameter you select from the range, every bit in this family shares the same long ship auger configuration and Nailbiter-series construction, making it a practical addition to any electrician's drill bit set.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available from 5/8" up to 1-1/8" diameter, letting you match the bit to the cable, conduit, or plumbing run at hand.
• Long Ship Auger Design: Extended length auger configuration lets installers reach through thicker framing members, joists, and multiple stud bays without repositioning as often as shorter bits.
• Nailbiter Series: Part of the Ideal Industries Nailbiter line of boring bits, built for the rugged, high-cycle drilling demands of electrical and low-voltage installation work.
• Jobsite-Ready Durability: Engineered to hold up to the repeated boring cycles typical of new construction and remodel wiring projects.
• Compatible Application: Sized to complement standard electrician's drill motors and right-angle drills used for stud and joist boring.
• Consistent Performance Across Sizes: Every diameter in the range delivers the same long ship auger geometry and Nailbiter-series build quality, so crews can standardize on one bit family for multiple hole sizes.
