Drill bit GRAPHITE 10 mm for concrete, cylindrical shank (57H342)

GRAPHITE drill bit 10 mm for concrete with a cylindrical shank is designed for rotary and percussion drilling into concrete, brick and other masonry materials. The 10 mm diameter provides a precise bore for fasteners, anchors and installation hardware where accurate hole sizing and straight drilling are required. The cylindrical shank fits common hand drills and hammer drills that accept round shanks, making this bit suitable for general construction, renovation and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

This concrete drill bit combines a solid carbide or carbide-tipped cutting point with a robust steel body to withstand the impact forces of percussion drilling while maintaining cutting performance. The 10 mm cutting diameter delivers consistent hole size and reduces the need for reaming. The cylindrical shank allows secure clamping in standard three-jaw chucks and simple interchangeability between cordless and corded drills. The design supports efficient dust evacuation and reliable centring for straighter holes in hard masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling 10 mm holes in concrete for anchors and plugs
• Creating fixing points in brick and block walls
• Installation of electrical boxes, conduit clips and plumbing supports
• General renovation and repair tasks requiring masonry drilling

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 10 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (round) shank for standard chucks
• Intended material: concrete, masonry and brick
• Drilling method: rotary with percussion (hammer) drilling compatible
• Suitable for use with: corded and cordless drills and hammer drills that accept round shanks

How to use

Select a drill with a chuck that securely accepts a cylindrical shank and set the correct drill mode: rotary with percussion for concrete and masonry. Mark the drilling point, start at low speed to establish a centre, then increase speed and apply steady pressure consistent with the drill’s guidance. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris and prevent overheating. When drilling deep holes, clear dust with a brush or compressed air before inserting anchors or dowels.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and hearing protection. For reinforced concrete, check for rebar and reduce feed pressure if metal is encountered. Replace worn or damaged bits to maintain hole quality and avoid excessive load on the drill. Match drill speed and percussion settings to material hardness for best results.
