c.k tools Drill Bit T2943-32 — 32 mm, Length 160 mm, Hex Shank

The c.k tools Drill Bit T2943-32 is a 32 mm diameter drill with a total length of 160 mm and a hexagonal shank. It is made for use with drills and impact drivers that accept hex shanks and is intended for creating large clean holes in timber, plasterboard and other soft building materials. The bit geometry and shank design aim to provide stable cutting, controlled chip evacuation and reliable seating in quick-change chucks and standard hex chucks.

Advantages

This 32 mm drill bit combines a large cutting diameter with a compact overall length to reach through common material thicknesses while maintaining stiffness. The hex shank ensures secure retention in the chuck or rapid-change holder, reducing slippage during use. The flute profile and cutting edges are optimised for fast removal of sawdust and debris when drilling in wood and soft masonry, which helps maintain drilling speed and reduce binding.

Suitable for

• Drilling large diameter holes in soft building materials
• Installing pipes, conduits and cable passages through timber and plasterboard
• Use with drills and impact drivers that accept hex shanks
• Carpentry and interior fitting tasks requiring clean, straight holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 32 mm
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure quick-change fitting
• Material suitability: wood, plasterboard and similar soft building materials
• Flute design: single/multi-flute profile for chip evacuation and cutting stability

How to use

Fit the hex shank securely into a compatible drill or quick-change holder and tighten the chuck according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Mark the drilling position and start at low speed to establish the pilot contact, then increase speed with steady pressure while allowing the bit to cut without forcing. Withdraw the bit periodically if long continuous cuts produce heavy chips, to clear debris and reduce heat build-up. For through-holes in thin materials, support the workpiece to prevent breakout on the exit side.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves and dust mask) and select a drill or driver with sufficient torque for a 32 mm hole. Avoid excessive side load on the bit; keep the tool aligned with the hole to prolong bit life. For harder materials or prolonged use, consider using stepped or specialised bits matched to the material.
