Drill bit AWTools AW43595 – solid shank metal bit, model AW43595

AWTools AW43595 is a solid shank metal drill bit designed for general and heavy-duty drilling tasks. Manufactured with a 40CR alloy steel body and a YG8C carbide tipped blade, this model combines toughness and cutting performance. The bit features a centering point with a 130° point angle and a double-spiral flute for efficient debris removal. Its grooved SDS+ shank is engineered to stay securely in compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers.

Advantages

The carbide tipped blade and four cutting edges deliver smooth, accurate holes while reducing the risk of jamming when encountering rebar. The double-spiral design improves chip evacuation, helping to prevent overheating and reduce vibration during use. The 130° centering point enhances initial positioning and reduces walking on the workpiece. The SDS+ grooved shank ensures a secure fit in compatible chucks, increasing safety and stability in hammer drilling applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Piercing rebar and other embedded metal
• Creating holes in brick and masonry
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Use with hammer drills and rotary hammers for heavy-duty work

Key specifications

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

How to use

Select a compatible hammer drill or rotary hammer with an SDS+ chuck and secure the AWTools AW43595 drill bit in the tool according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Mark and center the drilling position, then start at low speed to establish the hole before increasing to the appropriate hammering or drilling setting. Apply steady pressure without forcing the bit; allow the carbide tip and hammer action to do the work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and reduce heat build-up when drilling deep or dense materials.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. For extended drilling in dense materials, use intermittent operation to avoid overheating and consider cooling breaks. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use; replace if the carbide tip or cutting edges are compromised. Match drill speed and hammer settings to the material being drilled to optimize life and performance.
