Drill Bit STANLEY SDS+ 8 mm STA54510 for concrete

STANLEY SDS+ 8 mm drill bit STA54510 is engineered for drilling into concrete and masonry with SDS+ rotary hammer drills. The bit offers an 8 mm diameter suited to anchor holes, dowels and light fixture installation. Its design ensures stable bit retention in the chuck and consistent penetration performance for both professional tradespeople and DIY users working on concrete or masonry substrates.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank provides quick and secure coupling with compatible rotary hammers, reducing slippage during hammer drilling. A carbide tip and optimized flute geometry assist in efficient dust removal and prolonged cutting life under percussive loads. The uniform 8 mm diameter delivers reliable hole sizing for fixings and anchors while minimizing oversized or loose fittings.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes for plugs and concrete anchors
• Installing dowels and light fixtures in concrete or brick
• General masonry drilling tasks with SDS+ rotary hammers
• Professional repair, construction and DIY projects requiring precise 8 mm holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Intended material: concrete and masonry
• Tip material: carbide cutting tip
• Typical use: hammer drilling with rotary hammer

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer drill and secure the STANLEY 8 mm drill bit by inserting the SDS+ shank into the tool’s chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling location, start drilling at low speed to seat the tip, then apply steady pressure and use the hammer function for concrete or masonry. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and maintain efficient cutting. For through-holes, control feed to avoid over-penetration and for blind holes, stop before reaching sensitive layers behind the substrate.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling concrete. Match drill length to anchor depth and select correct anchor or plug type for the 8 mm hole. Avoid overheating by pausing periodically during prolonged drilling and remove dust from the hole before inserting plugs or anchors.
