Dewalt DW5231 Carbide Hammer Drill Bit 3/8x12 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW5231 is a premium carbide-tipped percussion hammer drill bit engineered for drilling small-diameter holes in masonry, concrete, rock, and artificial stone. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this bit features a rock carbide tip that delivers durable cutting performance under the repeated impact loads produced by rotary hammer and hammer drill operation. It is a standard consumable tool used by masonry contractors, concrete tradespeople, and general construction crews who need reliable anchor hole placement in hard substrates.

The DW5231 is suited for residential and commercial construction applications where mechanical anchors must be set into concrete slabs, block walls, brick, or natural stone. Its 3/8-inch shank fits directly into standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch keyed or keyless chucks, making it compatible with a wide range of corded and cordless hammer drills commonly found on job sites. Typical use cases include setting wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, and drop-in anchors in concrete foundations, walls, and decks.

Key Features

• Rock carbide tip resists wear and chipping during percussion drilling in hard masonry materials
• 3/8-inch diameter by 12-inch length suits standard anchor hole sizing requirements
• Compatible with standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch chucks for broad tool compatibility
• Designed for use in masonry, concrete, rock, and artificial stone substrates
• Sold individually, allowing single-bit replacement without purchasing a full set

Compatibility

Fits standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch keyed and keyless drill chucks. Designed as an OEM-style percussion drill bit for use with hammer drills that operate in hammer-and-rotate mode on masonry and concrete applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by masonry and general construction tradespeople using a hammer drill set to percussion mode. Confirm the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation and wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection when drilling into concrete or masonry. Do not use this bit in rotary-only mode, as percussion action is required for effective material removal in hard substrates. Follow applicable OSHA silica dust exposure guidelines when drilling concrete or masonry.
