Drill Bit Irwin SDS+ 6 mm for Concrete IW2039373

Irwin SDS+ 6 mm drill bit for concrete (IW2039373) is a rotary/percussion masonry bit engineered for use with SDS+ hammer drills. With a 6 mm diameter and a carbide-tipped head, this bit is intended for drilling clean, accurate holes in concrete, brick and other masonry materials for anchors, dowels and fixings. The SDS+ shank ensures secure coupling with compatible drills and enables fast, tool-free bit changes on jobsite and renovation applications.

Advantages

This drill bit delivers consistent drilling performance in concrete thanks to a hardened steel body and a precision ground carbide tip that resists wear. The SDS+ connection minimizes slippage and improves energy transfer from the hammer drill to the cutting tip, which reduces user effort and increases drilling speed. Its 6 mm diameter makes it suitable for common anchor and dowel sizes while keeping hole tolerance tight for reliable fixings.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for plastic and metal anchors in concrete and block work
• Installing dowels and fixings in brick, aerated concrete and stone
• Renovation and construction tasks requiring frequent bit changes
• Use with SDS+ rotary/percussion hammer drills on construction sites and workshops

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm suitable for common anchors and dowels
• Shank type: SDS+ for secure coupling and quick changes
• Tip material: carbide-tipped head for improved wear resistance and cutting performance
• Application: rotary/percussion drilling in concrete, brick and masonry
• Design: reinforced steel body for impact and torsion resistance during hammer drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS+ shank firmly into the hammer drill chuck until it locks. Select the rotary/percussion mode on the drill and position the tip at the marked drilling point. Apply steady forward pressure and allow the hammer action to advance the bit through concrete; do not force the bit. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris and improve drilling efficiency. After use, retract the bit and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion and protect the carbide tip.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment—safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask—when drilling into concrete. For optimum life, match drill speed and feed pressure to the material: moderate speed with consistent pressure for hard concrete, and higher speed for softer masonry. Replace the bit when the carbide tip shows visible wear or reduced drilling progress.
