Drill bit AWTools AW43536 — model AW43536, replacement bit for general drilling tasks

AWTools AW43536 is a replacement drill bit designed for general drilling tasks in construction and renovation. Constructed from 40CR alloy steel with a YG8C carbide-tipped blade, this AWTools model AW43536 features a centering point with a 130° angle and a double spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The bit is intended as a consumable accessory for hammer drills and rotary hammers and is suitable for drilling concrete, reinforced concrete, rebar, brick and other hard materials.

Advantages

The carbide-tipped blade increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance during repeated use. Double spiral flutes help remove dust and debris quickly, reducing heat build-up and minimizing vibration during operation. Four cutting edges provide smoother hole finishes and lower the chance of jamming when encountering rebar. The grooved SDS+ shank secures the bit in compatible chucks to prevent accidental disengagement during heavy-duty hammering.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Drilling through rebar and masonry
• Routine workshop and home renovation tasks requiring a standard replacement bit
• Use with hammer drills and rotary hammers with SDS+ systems

Key specifications

• Material: 40CR alloy steel body with YG8C carbide-tipped cutting head
• Point angle: 130° centering point
• Cutting geometry: four cutting edges for smooth holes
• Flute design: double spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Shank type: grooved SDS+ shank for secure retention
• Intended materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, rebar, brick and other hard materials
• Tool compatibility: hammer drills and rotary hammers

How to use

Install the AWTools AW43536 into an SDS+ compatible drill or rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shank engages securely. Select the hammering mode when drilling into concrete or reinforced materials. Start drilling at low speed to establish the centering point, then apply steady pressure while allowing the double spiral flutes to evacuate debris. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear accumulated dust and prevent overheating. Replace the bit when cutting performance or hole quality noticeably decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. Match the drilling mode and speed to the material being drilled, and avoid excessive lateral force to prolong bit life. For reinforced concrete, use controlled penetration to reduce the risk of striking large rebar; in such cases, inspect the bit after contact with metal and replace if the carbide tip is damaged.
