Choose the Correct Fit
Check the path for wiring, pipe and structural hardware. Nail resistance does not make every concealed object safe to drill.
Confirm the shank fit and the tool’s wood-boring capacity. Secure the bit and brace the tool before starting.
Installation & Care
Withdraw as needed to clear chips from deeper holes. Stop and isolate the tool if the bit binds.
Let the bit cool before cleaning. Inspect the feed screw and cutting edge, especially after striking embedded nails.

Can it be used in wood containing nails?
Yes. Its hardened cutting face and through-center geometry are designed for nail-embedded wood as well as clean wood.
Is the full bit length usable drilling depth?

Can I use it with an impact wrench?
The shank is impact rated. Confirm the wrench’s connection, any required adapter and permitted drilling capacity before use.
