Drill bit DeWalt DT9529 SDS-Plus 8x160 mm for hammer drills

DeWalt DT9529 SDS-Plus 8x160 mm is a carbide-tipped drill bit made for SDS-Plus hammer drills. It is designed to bore holes in concrete, masonry and natural stone with a reliable cutting head and a shank compatible with SDS-Plus chucks. With an 8 mm diameter and 160 mm overall length, this bit is intended for medium-depth anchoring, conduit and fixture installation tasks where consistent hole quality and easy bit change are required.

Advantages

The drill bit features a carbide tip for improved wear resistance and sustained drilling performance in abrasive materials. Its SDS-Plus shank ensures fast and secure mounting in hammer drill chucks and promotes efficient percussion transfer from the tool to the cutting head. The 160 mm overall length provides sufficient reach for standard anchors and through-holes while maintaining stability and lower runout during drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for wall plugs and anchors in concrete and block
• Creating passages for cables and conduit in masonry
• Preparing fixing points for fixtures, brackets and supports
• Renovation and construction tasks requiring medium-depth holes

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS-Plus compatible shank for hammer drills
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Tip material: carbide-tipped cutting head for hard materials
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry and natural stone

How to use

Fit the SDS-Plus shank into the hammer drill chuck until it locks securely before switching on the tool. Select the hammer drilling mode when working in concrete or masonry. Apply steady forward pressure and allow the bit’s percussion action and tip geometry to remove material; avoid excessive lateral force that can cause breakage. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole and maintain drilling efficiency. After completing each hole, clean the bore and inspect the bit tip for wear before continuing.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling masonry. For best results, match drill speed and hammer setting to material hardness; start with moderate speed and increase as needed. Replace the bit when the carbide tip becomes worn or inefficient to maintain hole accuracy and reduce stress on the drill.
