Heavy-Duty Auger Bits

Attach an auger bit to your auger drill or power drill to create round holes for home improvement and construction projects. With its spiral shape, an auger bit makes a smooth hole in whatever material you’re working with. Similar to drill bits, auger bits are interchangeable to create holes of different sizes and in different materials.

Choose an earth or garden auger drill bit if you’re looking to create holes in the ground. This bit can slice up earth and soil and direct it outside the hole so the drill continues to perform well. A flex auger bit works to make deep holes through drywall and wood, while a masonry bit can drill through harder materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s an auger bit?

A: An auger bit features wide threads or flutes along the body and either a screw tip or chisel at the end. The design of this bit allows tools to drill deep, uniform holes through solid materials at high velocities.

Q: What are auger bits good for?

A: Auger bits are perfect for outdoor projects that involve gardening and construction. Whether you need to build fencing, arbors, decks or other structures, drill holes into the ground with auger bits. It’s an easy way to stabilize bases, poles or beams. If you need wider holes, refer to our guides on the subject, Power Auger Buying Guide and How to Use a Power Auger.

Consider flex auger bits for indoor and electrical projects, such as creating holes to feed wire or cable through. Learn about other tools you may need with our Electrical Wire and Cable Buying Guide.

Q: What’s the difference between an auger bit and a drill bit?

A: The most common type of drill bit — known as the twist bit — is the go-to option for making small holes, prepping holes for screws and other uses. While the auger bit is limited to drilling holes, it can provide deeper and higher-quality holes, compared with a twist bit.
