Specifications

Pro-Tip: When using a 1-1/4" auger bit, always use a drill with a side handle. The self-feed spur pulls aggressively, and if the bit hits a large knot or nail, the high torque can cause the tool to kick. Maintaining a two-handed grip ensures safety and keeps your holes perfectly straight through thick timber.
