SDS+ masonry drill bit Irwin 10 mm model 10501982 for concrete and stone

SDS+ masonry drill bit Irwin 10 mm model 10501982 is engineered for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete, stone and masonry when used with SDS+ rotary hammers. The 10 mm diameter and carbide tip are designed to penetrate hard substrates while the flute geometry helps evacuate dust and debris, maintaining cutting efficiency. This drill bit is suitable for creating anchor holes, installing conduits and fixing fixtures in construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides durable cutting performance and improved wear resistance compared with standard steel bits. Optimized flute geometry reduces clogging and aids efficient dust removal, which maintains drilling speed and reduces heat buildup. The SDS+ shank ensures secure, quick change compatibility with SDS+ rotary hammer systems for consistent hammering and rotation transfer.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and masonry
• Installing electrical conduit and plumbing fastenings
• General renovation and construction tasks requiring 10 mm holes
• Work with SDS+ rotary hammers on stone and aggregate materials

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Shank type: SDS+ (suitable for SDS+ rotary hammers)
• Intended materials: concrete, natural stone, masonry
• Flute design: optimized for dust and debris evacuation

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer with the appropriate power and set it to the hammer-drill mode. Secure the drill bit in the SDS+ chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling location and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase pressure and maintain steady, moderate feed force while letting the tool’s hammer action work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and prevent binding. For deeper holes, withdraw frequently to remove debris and allow cooling.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. Match drill length and hammer power to the application; use lubricant or water only if recommended for your specific tool and material. Replace the bit when wear or chipping of the carbide tip reduces drilling efficiency or causes wandering.
