Rotary hammer drill bit Irwin SDS+ 5.5 x 50/110 mm for concrete and masonry

The Irwin SDS+ rotary hammer drill bit, measuring 5.5 x 50/110 mm, is a professional-grade tool engineered for efficient drilling in demanding masonry materials. Designed for compatibility with SDS+ chuck systems, this drill bit ensures a secure fit and optimal power transfer from the rotary hammer to the drilling surface. Its robust construction allows for consistent performance when working with concrete, brick, and stone, providing reliable results for both construction professionals and home improvement enthusiasts.

Advantages

This drill bit features a specialized geometry that facilitates rapid dust removal, which helps to prevent overheating and extends the overall service life of the tool. The high-quality carbide tip is designed to withstand the high-impact forces generated by rotary hammers, ensuring precision and durability during repetitive drilling tasks. Its design minimizes vibration, allowing for greater control and accuracy when creating holes for anchors or fasteners.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in concrete and brick
• Creating passages for electrical conduits and cables
• General masonry installation tasks
• Professional construction and renovation projects

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use with standard drill chucks that lack an SDS+ mechanism. It is also not suitable for drilling into metal, wood, or ceramic tiles, as the percussion action and tip design are specifically optimized for masonry materials.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5.5 mm
• Working length: 50 mm
• Total length: 110 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Material compatibility: Concrete, brick, masonry

How to use

Insert the drill bit into the SDS+ chuck of your rotary hammer until it clicks into place. Ensure the tool is set to the hammer-drill mode before starting. Position the tip of the bit against the marked spot on the masonry surface and apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a perpendicular angle. Allow the tool to perform the work, periodically retracting the bit from the hole to clear out accumulated dust and debris.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power tool is equipped with an SDS+ chuck system
• Ensure the 5.5 mm diameter matches the requirements of your anchors or fasteners
• Check that the 50 mm working length is sufficient for your intended drilling depth

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, when operating a rotary hammer. Inspect the drill bit for signs of wear or damage before each use to ensure safe and effective operation.
