Tork Craft Scotch Eye Auger Bit 12mm x 400mm – Bulk
Highlights: 12mm diameter, 400mm overall length and Scotch eye handle design for superior manual control.
This Tork Craft Scotch Eye Auger Bit steps up when your drilling task demands a larger hole and deeper reach. With a generous 12 mm diameter and extended 400 mm shaft, it’s ideal for tasks like fence posts, decking supports, timber framing and other structural or utility drilling where power tools may be impractical or where precision manual control is preferred. The classic Scotch eye loop allows insertion of a rod or screw-driver for added torque, and the self-feeding threaded tip ensures steady, guided penetration through wood with minimal effort.
Heavy-duty manual auger with extended length and Scotch eye loop
Engineered for demanding timber drilling where reach and accuracy matter most.
