Drill bit Irwin SDS+ 5 mm IW2039099 for concrete

The Irwin SDS+ 5 mm drill bit IW2039099 is designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in concrete and masonry. Its SDS+ shank provides quick and secure fitting in compatible rotary hammers, allowing fast bit changes and stable operation under impact drilling. The 5 mm diameter is suitable for making holes for small anchors, dowels, and cable-routing tasks in both plain and reinforced concrete. This drill bit is built to meet the demands of professional tradespeople and home DIY users who require consistent drilling performance in hard substrates.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank system ensures strong retention and easy insertion in SDS+ rotary hammers, reducing slippage during heavy-duty impact drilling. The 5 mm cutting head produces precise holes with minimal spalling when used with appropriate drilling technique and correct rotation/impact settings. The bit is compatible with a wide range of SDS+ hammer drills, offering versatility across work sites. Its design focuses on efficient debris removal and durability under repeated use in concrete and masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchoring holes for 5 mm anchors and dowels in concrete and masonry
• Routing small cable and conduit entry points through walls and floors
• Light to medium-duty demolition and installation tasks requiring precise small-diameter holes

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+
• Diameter: 5 mm
• Intended material: concrete and masonry (including reinforced concrete)
• Typical applications: anchor and dowel holes, cable routing

How to use

Fit the Irwin SDS+ 5 mm drill bit into an SDS+ compatible rotary hammer, ensuring it locks securely. Select the appropriate mode on the drill (hammer or rotary hammer) depending on the material; use hammer mode for concrete and masonry. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase pressure and speed steadily while maintaining a perpendicular angle to the surface. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris for more efficient cutting and to prevent overheating. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use with a drill that supports SDS+ shanks and set the correct hammering intensity for concrete. For reinforced concrete, apply steady pressure and clear debris frequently. For best results, select anchors or dowels that match the 5 mm hole diameter and follow anchor manufacturer installation instructions.
