Concrete drill bit YATO 12 mm cylindrical shank model YT-4380

Concrete drill bit YATO 12 mm cylindrical shank model YT-4380 is a hardened masonry drill bit designed for drilling into concrete, brick and similar materials. With a 12 mm diameter and a straight cylindrical shank, this bit is compatible with drills that accept plain shanks and is intended for general construction and renovation tasks such as creating holes for anchors, dowels or routing small conduits and wiring.

Advantages

The YATO YT-4380 12 mm concrete drill bit features a hard-wearing tip and body treatment that increases resistance to abrasion and extends tool life under typical masonry drilling conditions. Its cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard drill chucks, while the 12 mm diameter provides a common size for anchor bolts and dowels. The geometry of the cutting tip is optimized for penetration into dense substrates, reducing walking and improving drilling accuracy.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and expansion bolts
• Creating passages for electrical wiring and small conduits in masonry
• Fixing fixtures and fittings to brick or block walls
• General renovation and construction tasks requiring 12 mm holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (plain) shank for standard drill chucks
• Material type: hardened masonry drill bit suitable for concrete and similar substrates
• Intended use: drilling into concrete, brick and masonry

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible drill chuck and set the drill to the appropriate rotation speed for masonry drilling. Mark the drilling point and, if available, start with a low speed to establish the position. Apply steady axial pressure while allowing the bit to cut; avoid excessive force that can overheat or blunt the tip. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole. For deeper holes, use intermittent drilling to remove debris and prevent binding. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and a dust mask, and follow the drill manufacturer's instructions.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling concrete, use a rotary hammer with an adapter or a drill with sufficient power for masonry; when using a standard drill, select lower speed and steady pressure. Match the 12 mm hole to compatible anchors or dowels and clean the hole of dust before installing fixings. Replace the bit when wear reduces cutting performance to maintain drilling accuracy and safety.
