Drill Bit Einhell WIERTŁO UNIWERSALNE 10x160 mm, universal twist bit, Ø 10 mm, length 160 mm

Universal drill bit Einhell WIERTŁO UNIWERSALNE 10x160 mm is a twist-type, general-purpose 10 mm diameter bit with a total length of 160 mm. It is designed for use with handheld and stationary drills to make straight bores in a range of common materials. The extended length provides additional reach for tasks where a standard-length bit would not penetrate deeply enough, while the universal twist geometry is intended to deliver consistent chip evacuation and stable drilling performance in everyday repair, installation and construction jobs.

Advantages

The Einhell universal twist bit combines a standard 10 mm working diameter with a 160 mm overall length to address deeper drilling requirements without changing to specialized tooling. Its twist flutes are shaped for general-purpose use, helping to clear material as the hole is formed and to maintain a straight drilling line. The shaft is compatible with common drill chucks used on portable and bench drills, and the bit’s construction aims to balance cutting performance with service life under normal household and light-professional conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling 10 mm diameter holes in wood for dowels, bolts, and through-holes
• Creating pilot or clearance holes in soft metals and non-ferrous materials
• Installation and repair tasks requiring extended reach or drilling through panel stacks
• Use with handheld corded or cordless drills and drill presses with compatible chucks

When it may not be suitable

This universal twist bit is intended for general-purpose drilling and may not deliver optimal results in very hard or abrasive materials such as hardened steel, concrete, masonry, or tile. For demanding industrial applications, masonry work, or precision metalworking that require high wear resistance or specific tip geometries, a specialized carbide, masonry, or brad-point bit would be more appropriate. Excessive side load or use in improper materials can shorten bit life or cause breakage.

Key specifications

• Type: twist / universal drill bit
• Diameter: 10 mm
• Total length: 160 mm
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling in wood, soft metals, and common construction materials
• Shank form: straight round shank for standard drill chucks

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select a drilling speed appropriate for the material: medium speeds for wood and lower speeds for metals. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, use a center punch for accurate starts in metal. Apply steady axial pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the workpiece to produce a clean, straight hole. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and reduce heat build-up. After use, clean the flutes and store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 10 mm diameter and 160 mm length meet the depth and clearance requirements of your project
• Check compatibility with your drill chuck and the required shank type
• Consider the material you will drill most often; for masonry or very hard metals choose a specialized bit

Usage recommendations

Use moderate speed and steady pressure for best results; cool and clear chips when drilling metals, and avoid side loads. Replace the bit if wear or damage impairs cutting performance to maintain hole quality and reduce risk of breakage.
