First off, the bit does not look like the one on the website; at least as of this review (see pics).I got a powerful right angle drill, and needed some quality bits for it. I already have numerous Hole Saw bits (which are great for shallow holes), and Spade bits (which are good for medium depth holes), but only one Ship Auger bit (which is great for deep holes). I am restoring an old Colonial home, with 6″ to 8″ hand hewn timbers, which I need to drill for old BX / new Metal Clad wiring and PEX (new plumbing and for radiant heat). My 1″ Ship Auger would work for all of them, but I want to have the smallest hole possible.1/2″ PEX fits the hole (see pic), with some play. BX easily fits, and MC has plenty of room (could use smaller bit?). The screw tip, works great. It helps start the bit and prevents the bit from walking away from where you want it. The deep troughs lift the saw dusts and chip away (see pic). These are not cheap, but I figure if I do not hit any nails (fingers crossed, when drilling very old wood), they should last for years. The packaging implies they will cut through nails, but I will try not to test that. Made in Brazil.

This 11/16 -inch Dewalt Ship Auger is a real high-quality professional grade tool. Wish I had this when I was making lamp posts from pressure treated 6 by 6’s a few years back. I made three of them using a spade bit and extensions and it was slow work to get the chips out of the hole an inch or so at a time. This bit powers in and pumps the chips out like drilling through butter. Once the end of the scroll goes into the hole, about 13 inches in, the totally free of chips feature does stop and you need to move ahead in steps clearing chips at about 3-inch intervals. So, you can actually bury the full bit and retrieve it, about 16 inches in a single run in about 15 seconds going with the grain. I have a dock rehab project upcoming and this tool will be a big asset. The reusable slip case will keep it away from other tools when not in use.

Heavy duty! I found this bit to be very heavy duty. My only complaint was that my drill is only a 12v and couldn’t go the distance with the bit! This bit has a nice screw point tip which does keep it from wobbling. I used this bit to drill holes in some stumps in the yard. Worked very well for that purpose. Seems to be of very good quality. I would expect nothing less from DeWalt!

This DEWALT 11/16 in. x 17 in. Power Ship Auger Bit is one mean tough drill bit. It is around 18″ when placed in drill. It is made of high speed steel and is 11/16 in diameter. It really powers its way through any type of lumber without failing. It has a dual edge that cuts thru nails as well without binding. Just make sure you have a powerful drill that can handle the long action. I’m very impressed with this bit.

First thing to know about this 17 inch auger is that you will need a drill with a 1/2″ chuck in order for the shank to fit (this is not mentioned anywhere on the packaging). The chuck of the common household 3/8″ drill will be too small. The other important item is having a powerful enough drill to properly drive this auger. I used a drill with a 5.5 amp motor and it still bogged down as I got most of the auger into a cedar pine tree stump. Compared to using spade drill bits this auger made quick work while removing most of the saw dust.The screw point tip makes starting easy, and actually all but eliminates the need to push down on the auger. Unlike a spade bit which will require driving it, the screw point pulls the auger into the material. When digging deep holes this will mean having to run the auger in reverse in order to remove it. I drilled about a dozen holes the full length of the auger with the last being as easy as the first. For those just drilling through a beam, this auger will make short work of it.The auger bit comes in a rectangular storage holder which prevents it from rolling around and includes a tab with a hole for hanging.
