Drill bit AWTools AW42892 — metal/wood drilling accessory, MPN AW42892

AWTools AW42892 is a versatile drill bit intended for use with handheld and bench drills as well as hammer and rotary impact hammer drills. Constructed with a 40CR alloy steel body and a YG8C tungsten carbide head, this accessory is engineered for general-purpose drilling in materials such as masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick and ceramic tiles. The 2-cutter spiral profile maintains efficient spoil removal and helps reduce vibration and overheating during extended use.

Advantages

The two-flute spiral geometry provides consistent chip evacuation, improving cutting efficiency and extending tool life. A tungsten carbide tip delivers high hardness and wear resistance for reliable penetration of hard materials. The grooved SDS+ style shank secures the bit in compatible drill chucks and reduces the risk of slippage during hammering. Overall construction balances toughness and impact performance for professional and DIY tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in masonry and concrete
• Working with natural stone and granite
• Fixing anchors and plugs in brick and block
• Cutting openings in ceramic tiles for fittings
• General workshop and construction drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Body material: 40CR alloy steel
• Tip material: YG8C tungsten carbide
• Cutter design: 2-cutter spiral
• Shank type: grooved SDS+ compatible
• Intended materials: masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick, ceramic tile
• Suitable drill types: hammer drills and rotary impact hammer drills

How to use

Install the bit into an SDS+ compatible chuck and ensure it seats firmly before operation. For drilling in hard masonry or stone, use the hammer or rotary impact function; for softer substrates, use rotary mode. Start drilling at low speed to establish a guide point, then increase speed as required while applying steady pressure—avoid excessive force that can damage the tungsten carbide tip. Periodically clear debris from the hole and allow the bit to cool during prolonged drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. For best performance, match drill speed and hammer settings to the material being drilled and replace the bit when wear degrades cutting efficiency or tip geometry.
