Drill Bit Irwin SDS+ for Concrete 26 mm (10502059)

Irwin SDS+ drill bit 26 mm is designed for drilling through concrete, masonry and similar hard substrates. The bit is compatible with SDS+ rotary hammer drills and has a carbide tip that improves wear resistance and penetration, making it suitable for drilling into reinforced concrete, brick and aerated concrete. This 26 mm diameter is commonly used to make holes for anchors, dowels and electrical or plumbing conduit installations in both professional and DIY projects.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides enhanced cutting performance and longer service life compared with standard steel bits. The SDS+ shank design ensures secure bit retention and fast bit changes in compatible hammer drills. The flute geometry evacuates dust efficiently to maintain drilling speed and reduce friction. The build quality and dimensions are aligned with standard requirements for concrete drilling, offering consistent hole size and improved control during use.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in reinforced concrete for anchors and bolts
• Installing dowels and fixings in brick and blockwork
• Creating passages for electrical conduit and plumbing pipes
• Professional construction and trade applications
• Home renovation and DIY masonry tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 26 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Shank type: SDS+
• Primary use: concrete and masonry drilling
• Suitable substrates: reinforced concrete, brick, block and aerated concrete

How to use

Secure the SDS+ shank in a compatible rotary hammer drill according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Select the hammer-drilling mode for concrete work, align the bit with the marked drilling point and apply steady pressure while allowing the tool to perform the work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prevent clogging; for deep holes, remove debris more frequently. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a pilot position or center punch on smooth surfaces, use moderate, steady pressure without forcing the drill, and match drill speed and hammer settings to the substrate hardness. Replace the bit when the carbide tip shows excessive wear or reduced drilling performance to maintain consistent hole size and safety.
