Drill bit Irwin 10502050 SDS+ Ø24 mm, single piece, 181 g

Irwin 10502050 SDS+ Ø24 mm is a single-piece masonry drill bit engineered for use with SDS+ rotary hammers. With a 24 mm diameter and a compact weight of 181 g, this bit is intended for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete and other masonry materials. It is supplied as one piece and designed to deliver consistent performance when creating larger-diameter holes for anchors, sleeves or pipe passages during construction and renovation work.

Advantages

This SDS+ drill bit features a single-piece construction that provides dimensional stability and straightforward handling. Its 24 mm diameter enables larger hole creation without the need for multiple smaller drills, and the lightweight design reduces user fatigue during repetitive drilling tasks. The bit is compatible with standard SDS+ rotary hammers, offering reliable engagement and power transfer for masonry drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling 24 mm holes in concrete and masonry for anchors and chemical anchors
• Creating passages for pipes, conduits and sleeves in renovation projects
• Construction tasks requiring single, larger-diameter holes in block, brick or reinforced concrete

When it may not be suitable

This bit is not intended for use with standard twist drills or non-SDS+ chucks; it requires an SDS+ rotary hammer for proper operation. It is designed specifically for concrete and masonry; using it on metal, wood or ceramic tile may cause poor results or accelerated wear. For tasks requiring very deep holes, diamond core bits or longer-diameter masonry bits may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+
• Diameter: 24 mm
• Weight: 181 g
• Construction: single-piece masonry drill bit
• Primary material application: concrete and masonry

How to use

Install the SDS+ shank into a compatible rotary hammer and ensure the chuck engages securely. Mark the drilling point and use a center punch if required to avoid bit walking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and the rotary hammer’s impact function as appropriate for the material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris for cleaner cutting and to reduce overheating. Replace the bit if wear becomes excessive or if the tip is damaged.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your rotary hammer accepts SDS+ shanks
• Verify 24 mm diameter meets the required hole size for anchors or sleeves
• Consider bit length and hole depth requirements for your application
• Assess the volume of work—high-volume industrial drilling may require heavy-duty or carbide-tipped alternatives

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection) and, when drilling into reinforced concrete, reduce drilling pressure if rebar is encountered to avoid damaging the bit. For optimal durability, clear dust frequently and match drilling speed and impact settings to material hardness.
