Drill bit AWTools AW42880, model AW42880, weight 1.3 kg

AWTools AW42880 drill bit (model AW42880) is a replacement drill accessory weighing 1.3 kg. Constructed from 40CR alloy steel with a YG8C tungsten carbide head, this drill bit is intended for use in hammer drills and rotary impact hammer drills when a durable masonry bit is required. The two-cutter spiral design supports efficient spoil removal while the grooved SDS+ shank secures the bit in compatible chucks.

Advantages

The combination of a 40CR alloy steel body and a YG8C carbide tip provides wear resistance and impact strength for drilling hard materials. The 2-cutter spiral geometry promotes reliable dust and debris evacuation, reducing friction and the risk of overheating during extended use. The grooved SDS+ shank prevents accidental loosening and ensures stable connection to SDS+ compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers.

Suitable for

• Drilling in masonry and concrete
• Working with granite and natural stone
• Perforating brick and ceramic tiles
• Use with hammer drills and rotary impact hammer drills

Key specifications

• Body material: 40CR alloy steel
• Tip material: YG8C tungsten carbide
• Design: 2-cutter spiral flute
• Shank type: grooved SDS+
• Intended materials: masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick, ceramic tiles
• Weight: 1.3 kg

How to use

Insert the grooved SDS+ shank fully into an SDS+ compatible hammer drill or rotary impact hammer until it locks. Select the hammer or rotary impact mode appropriate for masonry and hard stone materials. Start drilling at low speed to establish a pilot point, then apply consistent pressure and allow the drill bit's cutting tip and spiral flutes to remove spoil. Withdraw periodically to clear accumulated dust when drilling deep holes and avoid continuous overheating.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the AWTools AW42880 bit with a hammer drill set to the correct mode for masonry, maintain moderate feed pressure, and clear debris regularly. Avoid excessive side load or twisting forces to preserve the carbide tip. Wear appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection when drilling in concrete, stone or tile.
