Introducing the WeldTec 9/16″ x 17″ Ship Auger, a rugged fastening tool engineered for demanding construction and framing jobs. The auger features a precisely welded cutting edge that fuses to a solid forged steel body, delivering a sleek profile and a robust appearance that resists wear even under continuous impact driving.
Built for performance: The reinforced cutting edge doubles the nail‑driving lifespan compared with conventional ship augers, letting you work faster and with fewer bit changes. Its wide‑flute design removes material efficiently, while the 7/16″ quick‑change impact shank lets you swap bits in seconds, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Patented welded cutting edge: Provides a harder, longer‑lasting tip that outperforms standard Irwin ship augers.
- Fully forged steel body: Guarantees structural integrity for bits 3/4″ diameter and larger, reducing the risk of breakage.
- 7/16″ quick‑change shank: Enables rapid bit swaps on impact drivers, saving valuable time on the jobsite.
- Wide flutes for efficient material removal: Cuts cleanly through wood, minimizing friction and heat buildup.
- Extended nail‑cutting life: Up to twice the service life of traditional ship augers, lowering overall tool cost.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
