Drill bit AWTools AW42917 — metal/construction bit, weight 2.43 kg

AWTools AW42917 — metal/construction drill bit is a replacement and consumable drilling tool designed for workshop and construction applications. Made of high-quality alloy steel with tungsten carbide tips, this bit is intended for use with compatible SDS-PLUS rotary hammer drills and is suitable for penetrating concrete, tile and masonry. The design includes a wide blade for faster removal and collection of drilled material, and the listed total weight of the product is 2.43 kg.

Advantages

The combination of alloy steel body and tungsten carbide tip provides improved wear resistance and extended service life compared with standard high-speed steel bits. SDS-PLUS compatibility ensures secure fitting and efficient energy transfer from rotary hammer drills, while the wide-flute geometry accelerates debris evacuation to maintain drilling speed and reduce clogging. The AWTools AW42917 is engineered for repetitive use in demolition and renovation work where reliable bit geometry and robust materials are required.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Breaking through tile and masonry during renovation
• Use with SDS-PLUS rotary hammer drills on construction sites
• Demolition tasks requiring durable consumable bits

Key specifications

• Material: high-quality alloy steel body
• Tip: tungsten carbide tip for enhanced hardness
• Compatibility: SDS-PLUS rotary hammer drills
• Intended materials: concrete, tile, masonry
• Flute design: wide blade/flute for faster debris removal
• Weight: 2.43 kg (product total weight as listed)

How to use

Select an SDS-PLUS compatible rotary hammer drill and secure the AWTools AW42917 bit in the tool’s chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Position the drill perpendicular to the work surface, apply steady pressure and use the hammer or rotary-hammer mode suitable for concrete or masonry. Use intermittent drilling to allow debris to clear from the hole and withdraw the bit periodically to remove accumulated material. Follow safety procedures including eye protection, hearing protection and dust control when drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use cooling and dust extraction where possible to extend bit life; avoid excessive lateral force or levering the bit to prevent tip damage. Replace the bit when the carbide tip shows significant wear or when drilling efficiency decreases.
