Dewalt Accessories DWA56245 Multi Material Drill Bit

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DWA56245 is a multi material drill bit designed for professionals who need reliable performance across a variety of substrates. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 5-1/4 inches in length, this bit features a carbide split-point tip for maximum sharpness and clean entry. Aggressive flute angles promote faster chip evacuation and improved drilling speed. The no-spin shank design locks securely into the chuck, eliminating bit slippage during high-torque applications. Sold in a package of five, this bit suits electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who drill through wood, metal, plastic, and masonry in day-to-day trade work.

The DWA56245 fits residential and light commercial applications where a single bit must handle multiple material types without swapping tools. Its 5-1/4 inch length provides adequate reach for drilling through standard framing members, sheet metal, and similar materials encountered during mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. The 3/8 inch diameter is a common size for conduit knockouts, pipe clearance holes, and anchor pilot holes, making this bit a practical addition to any service technician's drill kit.

Installation Notes

Drill bits of this type are installed and serviced by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck and verify engagement before applying load. When drilling near live electrical components or pressurized lines, de-energize circuits and isolate systems per applicable NEC or IPC requirements before beginning work. Do not apply excessive lateral force, as carbide-tipped bits can fracture if flexed beyond their rated geometry.
