Auger Bits - Long - 5/8 - Bahco

The Bahco 9527-5/8 Long Auger Bit is a professional-grade tool engineered for precision and durability when boring deep 5/8" holes in structural timber. Its self-feeding design and extended length ensure efficient operation, making it an essential asset for technicians and installers in demanding automotive, truck, and industrial environments where accuracy and efficiency are paramount.

Key Features

• Optimized 5/8" Diameter: This long-pattern auger bit is specifically designed for deep hole boring through dense materials such as joists, beams, sill plates, and framing lumber.
• Self-Feeding Screw Point: The self-tapping tip initiates drilling quickly and draws the bit through material with minimal user effort, ideal for overhead or awkward access points.
• Precision Cutting Edges: Heavy-duty, precision-ground cutting edges ensure clean, true holes, minimizing blowout and tear-out for a professional finish and reduced rework.
• Efficient Chip Evacuation: Optimized flute geometry, featuring "Levin pattern" spirals with a black lacquered inner surface, facilitates rapid chip removal during deep drilling, preventing binding and overheating in tough materials.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from hardened tool steel and treated for rust protection, this bit ensures durability and consistent performance when paired with high-torque corded or cordless drills. It also features a tang with three flat sides for a firm grip in power tool chucks and an additional 15 mm section with four flat sides for use in a hand brace.

Applications

The Bahco 9527-5/8 Long Auger Bit is well-suited for drilling access holes to run electrical conduit, air lines, and fluid lines within automotive and truck repair facilities. It effectively bores through studs, joists, and plates during shop build-outs, lift installations, racking and hose reel mounting, and securing heavy equipment. This auger bit also provides consistent 5/8" holes in framing lumber, ledger boards, and heavy timber for electricians, plumbers, and general installers working around vehicle lifts, alignment racks, and integrated compressed air systems.
