Dewalt DW5232 Masonry Drill Bit 3/8x18 in Round Shank

Product Description

The DEWALT DW5232 is a carbide-tipped masonry drill bit designed for boring through concrete, block, brick, and other masonry materials. At 3/8 inches in diameter and 18 inches in overall length, it provides extended reach for deep anchor holes and through-wall applications. The round shank is compatible with standard three-jaw chucks on rotary drills and rotary hammer drills in rotary-only mode. Licensed electricians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this bit when routing conduit, piping, or refrigerant lines through masonry construction.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where masonry penetration is required. Common install scenarios include drilling anchor points for equipment mounting brackets, conduit entry points through foundation walls, and sleeve penetrations through CMU block or poured concrete. The 18-inch length makes it practical for full-thickness wall penetrations without requiring extensions.

Key Features

• Carbide tip for durability in concrete, brick, and block
• 3/8-inch diameter for standard anchor and conduit sleeve applications
• 18-inch length provides extended reach for deep or through-wall holes
• Round shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks
• Sold individually — one bit per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard rotary drills and rotary hammers operated in rotary-only mode with a three-jaw chuck. Suitable for masonry substrates including concrete, brick, block, and mortar joints.

Installation Notes

Masonry drilling is typically performed by the installing trade — electricians, plumbers, or HVAC technicians — as part of rough-in work. Keep drilling speed moderate and apply steady, consistent pressure to avoid overheating the carbide tip. Never use this bit in hammer mode with a rotary hammer; round shank bits are not rated for hammer-drill percussion loads. Confirm all penetrations comply with applicable building codes and firestopping requirements when drilling through fire-rated assemblies.
