FAQ
What drill do I need for a 30 in. auger bit? Use a low-speed, high-torque drill, such as a right-angle drill or heavy-duty 1/2 in. drill, with a side handle for control.
Can it cut through nails? No. Hitting nails or screws will damage the screw tip and cutting edges. Check the wood for metal before you drill.
