Drill bit Irwin SDS+ 10 mm for concrete, model 10501984

Irwin SDS+ 10 mm drill bit for concrete, model 10501984 is designed for use with rotary hammer drills that accept SDS+ shanks. The bit features a carbide-tipped cutting head engineered to improve wear resistance and maintain drilling speed in reinforced and plain concrete, masonry and natural stone. Its SDS+ shank ensures secure retention in the drill chuck and enables efficient impact transfer for through-holes and anchoring applications while helping to reduce slippage and vibration.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides increased durability and consistent cutting performance in abrasive materials. The precision-ground flute profile evacuates dust effectively, which supports faster drilling and reduces clogging. Stable centering during start-up and a balanced design reduce lateral movement and vibration under load, improving hole accuracy and operator control. The SDS+ connection allows quick bit changes and reliable bit retention in compatible rotary hammers.

Suitable for

• Drilling through and anchoring holes in reinforced and plain concrete
• Creating holes in masonry and natural stone
• Applications requiring fast, repeatable holes for anchors and dowels

Key specifications

• Compatible shank type: SDS+
• Cutting head: tungsten carbide tip
• Nominal diameter: 10 mm
• Intended material: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Flute design: spiral flute for dust evacuation
• Typical use: rotary hammer drilling with impact function

How to use

Install the bit into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks securely. Select the appropriate drill speed and hammer setting for concrete or masonry; start drilling at low speed to establish the center, then apply steady pressure and engage hammer action for efficient penetration. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and allow cooling when drilling multiple holes in succession. Replace the bit if the carbide tip becomes chipped or worn to maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with a compatible SDS+ rotary hammer and appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. Pre-mark and, where possible, pilot the location to improve centering. For deep or long holes, withdraw the bit regularly to evacuate debris and reduce heat build-up. Avoid excessive lateral force to preserve tip life and hole accuracy.
