Drill bit STANLEY SDS+ 8 mm for concrete STA54561

STANLEY SDS+ 8 mm drill bit for concrete STA54561 is a masonry drill designed for use with SDS+ rotary hammer drills. The 8 mm diameter and carbide tip geometry are intended to create clean holes in concrete, brick and block materials. The SDS+ shank enables quick insertion and reliable retention in compatible rotary hammers, making the bit suitable for anchor installation, through-holes and light-duty construction drilling.

Advantages

The drill bit features an SDS+ shank for fast, tool-free chuck engagement and stable grip during impact drilling. Its carbide tip provides improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance in masonry materials. The 8 mm diameter balances hole size for standard anchors and fixings while keeping drilling effort moderate in common building substrates.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in concrete and masonry
• Making through-holes for pipes or cable passages in brick or block
• Light-duty construction and renovation tasks
• Use with SDS+ rotary hammer drills on stone-based substrates

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Material application: concrete, brick, block
• Tip material: carbide tip for masonry
• Typical use: impact drilling with rotary hammer

How to use

Install the drill bit into the SDS+ chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks. Select the hammer drilling mode on the tool and position the bit perpendicular to the work surface. Start drilling at low speed to create a pilot, then apply steady pressure while maintaining the hammer action. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prevent overheating. For deeper holes, drill in stages and clean the hole with compressed air or a brush before inserting anchors or fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. Match drill speed and hammer settings to the substrate hardness and avoid excessive axial force that can damage the bit. Replace the bit when wear reduces cutting efficiency or the tip becomes chipped.
