5/16"×18" Professional Auger Drill Bit for Wood with Quick Change 5/16" Hex Shank- 3-Cutter Design with Dual-Flute for Fast Chip Removal, Fits Hardwood, Softwood, PVC, Drywall & Tree Stumps

【3 Sharp Cutters for Aggressive Boring】 Engineered with three hardened cutting spurs, this Auger Drill Bit engages material more efficiently than standard two-cutter bits. The triple-cutter design shears through wood fibers rapidly, requiring less downward pressure and delivering faster drilling progress in both hard and soft woods.

【Tri-Flute Core for Uninterrupted Drilling】 At the heart of its performance is the three-flute, hollow-ground channel system. These two deep, polished spirals actively evacuate chips from the borehole, preventing clogging and binding. This ensures smooth, continuous drilling without the need for frequent back-out to clear debris.

【Rigid Construction & Self-Starting Tip】 Forged from durable 1045 high-carbon steel with a solid center shaft for maximum rigidity. The aggressive threaded point pulls the bit in instantly for precise, walk-free starts, while the wide bearing surfaces keep it drilling perfectly straight through deep holes.

【Versatile All-Purpose Boring Solution】 The ultimate bit for a wide range of applications: effortlessly drills through hardwood, softwood, pressure-treated lumber, plywood, OSB, plastic, PVC, drywall, and is ideal for tree stump boring. Perfect for electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and landscapers.

【Quick Change Hex Shank & Protective Storage】 Features a 5/16" Quick Change hex shank for a secure grip in all drills and impact drivers. Each bit comes in its own reusable, heavy-duty PVC storage tube for safe keeping, tool box organization, and long-term protection.

The METOTY Premium Tri-Flute Auger Drill Bit is engineered to solve the most common frustrations in wood boring. Combining advanced geometry with premium materials, it delivers unmatched speed, precision, and clean chip ejection for both professional contractors and serious DIYers.  Rapid Chip Removal: The three deep, precision-milled flutes create wide channels that act like a conveyor system, pulling wood chips up and out of the hole efficiently. This prevents clogging—the primary cause of bit binding, overheating, and motor strain.  Unwavering Stability: The robust solid-center design and broad bearing surfaces (lands) guide the bit steadily through the material. This results in straighter, cleaner holes with consistent diameter, even at maximum depth.  Effortless Starts: The threaded, self-feeding screw tip grabs the material immediately, pulling the bit in with authority. This not only guarantees perfect positioning but also makes starting on angled or curved surfaces significantly safer and easier.  PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION FOR LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE Crafted from high-grade 1045 carbon steel and precision heat-treated, the METOTY bit maintains a sharper cutting edge longer than ordinary bits. The cutting spurs are ground to slice through wood fibers cleanly, reducing tear-out and splintering for a smoother hole edge.
