Dewalt Accessories DW5242 Percussion Drill Bit 5/8x12 5pk

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW5242 is a percussion drill bit built for masonry, concrete, and rock drilling applications. It measures 5/8 inch in diameter by 12 inches in length and comes in a pack of five bits. A carbide tip provides durability and reduces walking at the point of contact for improved hole placement accuracy. A four-flute design efficiently channels dust and debris out of the hole, reducing bit binding during operation. This bit is engineered to drill up to two times more holes than conventional percussion bits and delivers up to 50 percent more holes per battery charge when used with cordless hammerdrills.

The DW5242 is suited for residential and commercial masonry work including concrete block, poured concrete, brick, and natural stone. It is compatible with both corded hammer drills and cordless hammerdrills, making it a practical option for field work where power sources vary. Licensed contractors, masons, and electricians frequently use bits in this size range for anchor installation, conduit routing, and structural fastening tasks. The pack quantity of five supports high-volume job site use without frequent reorder.
