Drill bit STANLEY STA53140 — 1.6 cm diameter, 150 mm length, single-piece

STANLEY STA53140 is a single-piece drill bit with a 1.6 cm diameter and a total length of 150 mm, designed for drilling holes of the specified size. The bit is intended for use with compatible drills and is suitable for masonry applications where a 16 mm hole and extended reach are required. Sold individually, this STANLEY drill bit provides a straightforward solution when a single precise-size bit is needed.

Advantages

The single-piece construction reduces the number of joints and potential weak points, providing consistent alignment and simple handling. A 150 mm overall length offers greater reach compared with standard short bits, allowing drilling through thicker materials or deeper anchor points. Designed for masonry use, the bit geometry and material selection aim to deliver effective penetration and acceptable wear resistance for general-purpose work in concrete, brick and similar substrates.

Suitable for

• Drilling 16 mm holes in concrete and masonry
• Creating holes for anchors and plugs
• Jobs requiring extended reach compared with shorter bits
• Individual replacement when a single 16 mm masonry bit is needed

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.6 cm (16 mm)
• Overall length: 150 mm
• Construction: single-piece drill bit
• Primary material suitability: masonry (concrete, brick, stone)
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Select a compatible drill and set the appropriate mode (hammer function if applicable for masonry). Secure the workpiece and mark the drill point. Fit the STANLEY STA53140 bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Start drilling at low speed to establish the position, then increase speed and apply steady pressure. Retract periodically to clear debris and avoid overheating. After reaching the required depth, withdraw the bit while the drill is running slowly to help remove dust from the hole.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection when drilling masonry. For best results in reinforced concrete or very hard materials, consider a dedicated carbide-tipped masonry bit and a drill with sufficient power and hammer action. Do not use excessive lateral force on the bit to avoid breakage; allow the tool and bit to do the work.
