Drill bit AWTools AW40982, metal/wood/concrete use, weight 82 g

AWTools AW40982 drill bit is a compact high-speed steel (HSS) bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, designed for general drilling tasks in metal, wood and concrete environments where the bit geometry permits. With a lightweight build of 82 g and laser-marked size engravings, this bit fits both handheld and stationary drills and is intended for routine construction, repair and installation work that requires accurate, durable drilling performance.

Advantages

The AWTools AW40982 combines HSS hardness with a TiN coating to reduce friction and heat during drilling, improving wear resistance and extending tool life. Laser-marked size indicators on the shank make it easy to monitor penetration depth and hole size as you drill. The bit’s design allows drilling without pre-drilling in suitable materials, simplifying tasks and saving time for both professionals and DIY users.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Working with thin-walled steel sheets and sheet metal components
• Drilling in plastics and laminated materials
• General-purpose drilling with handheld or bench drills in repair and installation tasks

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Coating: titanium nitride (TiN) for reduced friction and improved wear resistance
• Weight: 82 g
• Markings: laser-engraved size and depth indicators on the shank
• Compatibility: suitable for use with standard electric handheld and stationary drills

How to use

Secure the AWTools AW40982 in the drill chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions and set the appropriate drill speed for the material. Use steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing to avoid overheating. For metals and plastics, use cutting lubricant or coolant where appropriate to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. For clean holes in thin-walled materials, support the workpiece to reduce deformation.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metals, select a lower speed and apply cutting fluid; for plastics and thin sheets, use higher speeds with light pressure. Inspect the laser markings regularly to control depth and replace the bit when wear reduces cutting efficiency.
