Drill bit AWTools AW43720 — single piece, weight 600 g

AWTools AW43720 — single piece drill bit weighing 600 g, made of high-quality alloy steel with a tungsten carbide tip. The bit features a wide flute and two cutting edges, a 130° self-centering point for accurate starts without a pilot hole, and a double spiral for efficient debris removal. The grooved SDS-MAX shank secures the bit in compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers, making it suitable for drilling in masonry, concrete, natural stone, granite, brick and ceramic tiles.

Advantages

The AWTools AW43720 combines alloy steel body strength with a tungsten carbide tip to extend cutting life and resist wear when working with abrasive materials. Its 130° self-centering point improves centering and reduces wandering at the start of the hole, eliminating the need for a separate pilot drill in most applications. The double spiral geometry promotes continuous removal of dust and chips, helping to prevent overheating and minimizing vibration during operation. The grooved SDS-MAX shank reliably retains the bit in rotary and hammer drills for stable performance under impact conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Work on masonry, brick and natural stone
• Installing anchors, dowels and fasteners in walls and floors
• Creating passages for plumbing and electrical conduits in construction
• Drilling ceramic tiles and granite when using appropriate technique

How to use

Install the AWTools AW43720 into a compatible SDS-MAX chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions until the grooved shank locks securely. Select appropriate drill speed and hammer function depending on the base material; use hammer mode for concrete and masonry and rotary-only mode where impact is not required. Apply steady axial pressure and allow the bit to cut at its own rate; avoid excessive force that may accelerate wear. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated debris and maintain cooling. Replace the bit if the carbide tip becomes chipped or blunt to ensure safe and effective drilling.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling ceramic tiles or granite, start with a lower speed and light pressure to avoid chipping, and consider using masking tape or a guide to improve edge stability. When working in dense concrete or reinforced areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment, secure workpieces, and follow the drill manufacturer’s guidelines for impact settings and lubrication or cooling if applicable.
