Drill bit Irwin 10502496 — 9 mm hardened steel for drills

Irwin 10502496 is a 9 mm hardened steel drill bit designed for use with both hand and power drills. The bit provides a straight 9 mm drilling diameter and a hardened-steel construction intended to improve wear resistance and rigidity. It is supplied in a slim 165 mm high blister pack that keeps the bit protected during storage and transport and makes it easy to identify when stored with other drill accessories.

Advantages

The hardened-steel construction increases durability and resists deformation under typical drilling loads. The consistent 9 mm diameter supports accurate hole sizing for repeated tasks. The packaged blister offers convenient protection and visibility, simplifying handling and organization on job sites or in workshops.

Suitable for

• General metal drilling where hardened-steel bits are appropriate
• Use with corded and cordless hand drills
• Workshop and on-site drilling tasks requiring a 9 mm hole
• Repair, maintenance, and assembly operations with compatible materials

Key specifications

• Diameter: 9 mm
• Material: hardened steel
• Intended use: compatible with hand and power drills
• Packaging: slim blister pack, 165 mm height

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly before use. Select an appropriate drilling speed and appropriate cutting fluid if drilling metal to reduce heat and wear. Begin drilling with steady pressure, keeping the drill perpendicular to the workpiece to maintain a clean, accurate hole. Withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes, and allow the bit to cool if it becomes hot.

Usage recommendations

Match drill speed and feed rate to the workpiece material and use cutting fluid for metal to extend tool life. Inspect the bit before use for damage or excessive wear and replace when accuracy or cutting performance declines.
