Drill bit AWTools AW43572 — replacement drill accessory for metal and wood

AWTools AW43572 — replacement drill accessory for metal and wood is a single drill bit designed for use with cordless and corded drills, as well as hammer drills and rotary hammers where applicable. Constructed from 40CR alloy steel with a YG8C carbide tipped blade and a centering point with a 130° angle, this bit is intended for general-purpose drilling, repairs and assembly work in workshop environments. The double spiral flute and four cutting edges are engineered to provide smooth hole formation while reducing vibration and preventing overheating during continuous use.

Advantages

The carbide tipped cutting edge improves wear resistance and maintains sharpness under heavy-duty use. The double spiral design facilitates efficient chip evacuation and reduces friction, which helps lower operating temperature and extend tool life. Four cutting edges ensure cleaner, more precise holes and decrease the likelihood of jamming on contact with rebar. The grooved SDS+ shank secures the bit in compatible chucks and reduces the risk of slippage during hammering or rotary action.

Suitable for

• Drilling into metal and wood with standard corded or cordless drills
• Drilling into concrete, reinforced concrete and brick when used with hammer drills or rotary hammers
• Repair, maintenance and assembly tasks in workshops and construction sites
• Situations requiring reduced vibration and reliable chip removal

Key specifications

• Material: 40CR alloy steel body with YG8C carbide tipped blade
• Point angle: 130° centering point
• Flute: double spiral for effective chip evacuation
• Cutting geometry: four cutting edges for smooth holes
• Shank type: grooved SDS+ shank for secure retention
• Application: suitable for metal, wood, concrete, reinforced concrete, rebar and brick
• Compatible tools: cordless and corded drills, hammer drills and rotary hammers

How to use

Install the AWTools AW43572 bit into a compatible chuck or SDS+ holder according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is securely seated. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the centering point, then increase speed appropriate to the material and tool type. Use hammer function when drilling into concrete, reinforced concrete or masonry; disable hammering for metal and wood. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the bit to clear chips periodically to avoid excessive heat build-up. Replace the bit when cutting performance or hole quality noticeably deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed rate to the material: lower speeds for harder materials like concrete and reinforced concrete, higher speeds for wood and non-ferrous metal. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, and secure workpieces before drilling. When drilling reinforced concrete or rebar, use controlled pressure and pause occasionally to clear debris and prevent overheating of the carbide tip.
