Ideal Industries Nailbiter Short Ship Auger Bit

Ideal Industries Nailbiter Short Ship Auger Bit

The Ideal Industries Nailbiter Short Ship Auger Bit is purpose-built for electricians and installers who need to bore clean, accurate holes through wood framing members during rough-in wiring and cable pulls. This family is available in trade sizes from 3/4" to 13/16", covering the diameters most commonly used for running standard electrical cable and conduit through framing. As part of the Nailbiter line, this short ship auger is engineered for fast material removal and controlled boring in tight joist bays and stud cavities where a full-length auger bit would be impractical, making it a practical addition to any electrician's drill bit set.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available from 3/4" up to 13/16" in diameter for boring holes sized for common electrical cable and conduit runs.
• Short Ship Design: A shortened auger length that allows for easier maneuvering in confined framing bays, joist spaces, and tight wall cavities compared to standard-length augers.
• Nailbiter Series: Part of the Ideal Industries Nailbiter auger line, built to bore through wood framing and continue cutting even when encountering embedded nails or fasteners.
• Efficient Boring Performance: Designed to remove wood chips quickly, reducing binding and helping installers complete rough-in work faster.
• Compatible with Standard Drills: Sized for use with common right-angle and standard drills used in electrical rough-in applications.
• Consistent Boring Performance: Every size in the Nailbiter Short Ship Auger family shares the same fast-cutting, chip-clearing design so installers get predictable results whether boring a 3/4" or 13/16" hole.
