This removes the need to press hard or steady the bit manually at the start of each hole, which is a particular advantage when working overhead or in awkward positions in timber-frame and joinery applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast chip clearance for consistent drilling speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe very wide, deep spiral running along the length of the bit draws a large volume of chippings up and out of the hole as you drill, preventing clogging and maintaining cutting speed through the full 400mm depth. The single-groove coil profile also produces a noticeably cleaner hole wall, which matters when fitting cables, pipework, or fixings that need a snug fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardened alloy steel with a secure hex shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bit is manufactured from high-quality hardened alloy steel, giving it the toughness needed for repeated use in dense timbers and engineered wood products such as chipboard and OSB. The hexagonal shank engages positively with standard drill chucks and prevents the bit from spinning inside the chuck under load, keeping the drive connection firm throughout the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drill-bits\" style=\"color: #2B00FF;\"\u003eDrill Bits range\u003c\/a\u003e from Heavins.ie, with delivery available across Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-homing threaded cone\u003c\/strong\u003e - guides the bit into the material automatically from first contact, no heavy pressure required.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround cutting edges\u003c\/strong\u003e - cut cleanly and quickly through timber and wood-based boards.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide, deep spiral\u003c\/strong\u003e - clears a high volume of chippings continuously for sustained drilling speed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-groove coil profile\u003c\/strong\u003e - produces a smoother hole surface for cleaner finishes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex shank\u003c\/strong\u003e - prevents rotation in the chuck and maintains a secure drive connection under load.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardened alloy steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - provides high durability across repeated professional use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible materials\u003c\/strong\u003e - timber, wood, chipboard, and oriented strand board (OSB).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtective plastic box\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps the bit stored safely between uses.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrill diameter: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 400 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank type: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Alloy steel (hardened)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible materials: Timber, wood, chipboard, oriented strand board (OSB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack quantity: 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.33 kg (bit only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Rawlplug 16mm x 400mm auger drill bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective plastic storage box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rawlplug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57638821069173,"sku":"5906675346755","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/5261\/5816\/files\/heavins-rawlplug-auger-wood-drill-bit-16mm-x-400mm-awd-160-400-01.jpg?v=1791797600","url":"https:\/\/www.heavins.ie\/products\/rawlplug-auger-drill-bit-16mm-x-400mm-awd-160-400","provider":"Heavins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
