e of you who have not heard of WoodOwl and need to use auger bits on a regular basis, these bits are going to make your life a whole lot easier. Although it might not be a household name, WoodOwl has designed one of the best nail chipper ship auger bits on the market and is highly regarded by those in the industry. WoodOwl is a Japanese company, with their drill bits fully produced by their own factory in Miki City, Japan with Japan-made high-carbon steel (S55C). This means that their bits are lighter in weight than standard auger bits, creating less fatigue. The precision circularity along the length of the bit keeps it in line without forcing the operator to compensate. The Japan-Made Carbon Steel used is some of the most durable on the planet, and mixed with precise heat treatment and induction hardening, the bit provides exceptional strength and gives a magnificent cut.
