Masonry Drill Bit YATO YT-44785 8 mm, 1 pc

The YATO YT-44785 masonry drill bit with an 8 mm diameter is designed for creating precise holes in masonry materials using a drill or hammer drill. Supplied as a single piece, this drill bit delivers an exact 8 mm bore suitable for anchor bolts, wall plugs and through-holes in light to medium masonry tasks. Its construction and hex shank make it compatible with a wide range of handheld drills and impact drivers used in construction, installation and repair work.

Advantages

The bit provides consistent 8 mm hole size with stable drilling performance and reduced walking at the start of the cut. The hex shank ensures secure seating in chucks and quick bit changes in cordless and corded tools. Its finish and design support effective dust removal during drilling, helping maintain cutting efficiency and prolonging service life under normal use conditions.

How to use

Select a drill or hammer drill compatible with an 8 mm hex shank. Mark the drilling point on the masonry surface and use a center punch or light pilot indent if needed to prevent bit walking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed while applying steady pressure; for hard concrete use hammer action if the tool supports it. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and cooling; avoid excessive lateral force to preserve bit life. After reaching the required depth, clean the hole of dust before inserting anchors or plugs.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and a dust mask. For reinforced concrete or very hard stone, choose a dedicated carbide-tipped masonry bit and a hammer drill with sufficient power. Store the bit dry and protected to prevent corrosion and damage to the cutting edges.
