Irwin Drill Bits Features and Benefits

• Material-specific designs: Point angles, flute shapes and tip styles are matched to the material, so bits cut faster and wander less.
• Hardened cutting edges: HSS and cobalt bits resist heat and wear, which helps them hold an edge when drilling steel and stainless.
• Carbide-tipped masonry and SDS bits: Tough tips cope with brick, block and concrete, and keep dust clearing from the hole.
• SDS shanks: SDS Plus and SDS Max fittings lock into the chuck for efficient hammer action and quick bit changes.
• Multi material options: One bit handles a range of surfaces, handy when you meet different materials on a single job.
• Sets and storage: Drill bit sets keep common sizes together in a case, so you can find the right bit quickly on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Irwin drill bit?

Start with the material. Use HSS or cobalt for metal, wood bits for timber, masonry or SDS bits for brick and concrete, and glass and tile bits for ceramics. Then check your drill's chuck type: SDS Plus or SDS Max bits only fit matching rotary hammers.

Can I use masonry bits in a standard drill?

Standard round-shank masonry bits work in most drills, ideally with hammer action switched on for brick and concrete. Use a slower speed and light pressure for softer materials, and clear dust from the hole regularly. For frequent or larger holes, an SDS bit in a rotary hammer is quicker.
