Drill bit STANLEY STA54563 SDS+ 10 mm for concrete

STANLEY STA54563 SDS+ 10 mm drill bit is designed for drilling precise holes in concrete and masonry. With an SDS+ shank, the 10 mm bit fits compatible rotary hammers and enables fast insertion and secure retention during heavy-duty rotation and percussion. The carbide tip geometry is engineered to withstand impact drilling and to deliver consistent hole diameter for anchors, dowels and installation fixtures used in construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The SDS+ design allows quick and tool-free bit changes and ensures stable seating in the hammer chuck, reducing wobble and improving drilling accuracy. The 10 mm diameter balances hole precision and material removal rate for common fasteners and anchors. A wear-resistant carbide tip prolongs service life when working in reinforced concrete and masonry, while the flute profile facilitates efficient dust evacuation for cleaner holes and reduced heat build-up.

Suitable for

• Drilling 10 mm holes for anchors and dowels in concrete and brick
• Installation of electrical boxes, conduit clips and plumbing fixtures
• Construction and renovation work requiring impact rotary hammers with SDS+ connection
• General masonry drilling where consistent hole diameter and tool retention are required

Key specifications

• Tip material: carbide tip for impact resistance and extended durability
• Shank type: SDS+ shank for compatible rotary hammers
• Diameter: 10 mm for standard anchor and dowel sizes
• Primary use: concrete and masonry drilling with percussion rotary hammers
• Flute design: helical flute for efficient dust removal and stable cutting

How to use

Select an SDS+ compatible rotary hammer and secure the bit by inserting the shank until it locks. Mark the drilling position and, if necessary, start at low rotation or use a pilot mark to prevent walking. Apply steady pressure and allow the tool's percussion action to do the cutting; avoid excessive force that can overheat the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust, and complete the hole to the required depth. After use, clean the flute and tip to remove debris and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling concrete. Match drilling speed and percussion settings to the material and tool manufacturer guidelines. For reinforced concrete, use intermittent drilling and withdraw frequently to clear metal particles and dust. Replace the bit when tip wear reduces drilling efficiency or hole precision.
