Drill Bit Irwin SDS+ 16 mm for Concrete (10502019)

Irwin SDS+ 16 mm drill bit for concrete is engineered for percussive drilling in concrete, brick and masonry with SDS+ rotary hammer drills. The 16 mm diameter and carbide tip design deliver accurate, clean holes for anchors, dowels and mechanical fixings. This drill bit is intended for professional construction use and for DIY installation tasks that require efficient, controlled percussion drilling into dense substrates.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures secure tool engagement and quick bit changes without adapters. A carbide-tipped cutting head provides wear resistance and prolonged life when drilling in abrasive concrete and brick. The 16 mm diameter offers a common size for anchor and fastening systems while the flute geometry promotes efficient dust removal and stable drilling. The bit balances durability and precision to support repeated use on site.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Making fixing holes in brick, block and masonry
• Installing electrical boxes and plumbing conduits in walls
• General construction and renovation tasks requiring SDS+ rotary hammer drills

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16 mm
• Compatible shank type: SDS+ for rotary hammer drills
• Intended material: concrete, brick, block and masonry
• Tip: carbide-tipped cutting head for wear resistance
• Use mode: percussive (hammer) drilling

How to use

Mark the drilling location, select an SDS+ rotary hammer drill and secure the bit into the tool's chuck until it locks. Use the hammer drilling mode and apply steady pressure, allowing the drill's percussion action to advance the bit. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole and maintain cooling. For through-holes or deep drilling, use incremental depth control and appropriate safety measures such as eye protection and dust extraction.

Usage recommendations

For best results when installing anchors, verify the required hole depth and diameter for the specific anchor system before drilling. Use appropriate PPE, and when working in reinforced concrete avoid excessive side pressure to reduce bit wear. If drilling many holes or into very abrasive material consider using a fresh carbide-tipped bit to maintain hole quality.
