Drill Bit Set Stanley STA56040-QZ 8 pcs for Masonry

The Stanley STA56040-QZ 8-piece masonry drill bit set provides a selection of durable bits engineered for efficient drilling into hard materials such as brick, block and concrete. Designed for use with rotary and hammer drills, the set offers consistent hole quality for construction, renovation and general building tasks where reliable masonry performance is required.

Advantages

These masonry bits are manufactured from hardened steel with tips shaped to penetrate dense substrates and to reduce walking at the start of drilling. The set covers a range of commonly used diameters so users can match hole size to anchor bolts, wall plugs or pipework. Robust construction improves bit life under repeated impact and rotary load, while the straight shank design ensures secure chucked fit in standard drill chucks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in brick and concrete for anchors and wall plugs
• Installing electrical conduit and plumbing through masonry
• Preparing fixing points for shelving, railings and fixtures
• General building and renovation work requiring masonry penetration

Key specifications

• Quantity: 8 bits
• Application: masonry (brick, concrete, block)
• Material: hardened steel with masonry-optimized tip geometry
• Shank type: straight shank for standard drill chucks
• Compatibility: rotary and hammer drilling modes

How to use

Select the drill bit diameter appropriate for the fixing or anchor to be installed. Secure the bit in the drill chuck, set the drill to the correct rotation/hammer mode for masonry, and begin drilling at low speed to position the bit, then increase speed and apply steady pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole and maintain cooling. After reaching the required depth, clean the hole of debris before inserting anchors or fixings.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. Match bit diameter to the specification of plugs or anchors, and use a drill with hammer action for dense concrete. Replace bits showing excessive wear or damaged tips to maintain hole quality and safety.
