Concrete drill bit DeWalt DT6562 12 x 150 mm

DeWalt DT6562 12 x 150 mm concrete drill bit is designed for drilling into concrete, masonry and other hard building materials. The 12 mm diameter and 150 mm length provide reach and stability for common construction tasks such as anchoring, drilling for rebar, installing conduits and fixing construction fittings. The bit is intended for use with hammer drills and rotary hammers that accept its shank type and is engineered to maintain efficient dust evacuation and consistent drilling performance on demanding substrates.

Advantages

The drill bit offers precise, stable drilling with a carbide tip shaped for fast penetration and long wear life in abrasive masonry materials. Its flute geometry promotes reliable dust removal from the hole, reducing clogging and allowing steady advance. The 150 mm working length gives a balance between reach and stiffness, while the 12 mm diameter matches common anchor and fixing sizes used in construction. Compatibility with hammer drilling action ensures effective impact energy transfer for clean, efficient holes in concrete.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and masonry
• Creating holes for rebar positioning and dowels
• Installing electrical conduits and plumbing through walls
• General drilling tasks on block, brick and reinforced concrete

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Overall length: 150 mm
• Material tip: carbide for high wear resistance
• Flute design: spiral flutes for dust evacuation
• Intended use: concrete, masonry and similar hard materials
• Tool compatibility: hammer drills and rotary hammers with compatible shank

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the work area. Select a hammer drill or rotary hammer that accepts the bit's shank and set the tool to the appropriate hammering mode if available. Start drilling at low speed to establish the center, then increase speed and apply steady pressure while allowing the bit to remove material. Withdraw occasionally to clear dust from the hole and improve cooling. For deeper holes, repeat intermittent extraction to maintain cutting efficiency. After drilling, clean the hole of debris before inserting anchors or fittings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling concrete. Match drill diameter to anchor or fixing specifications and avoid excessive side loads to preserve bit life. For prolonged or heavy-duty use, allow the bit to cool periodically and replace worn bits to maintain drilling quality.
