Dewalt DW5245 Carbide Percussion Drill Bit 3/4 X 12 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW5245 is a carbide-tipped percussion drill bit designed for rotary hammer and hammer drill applications in masonry, concrete, and similar hard materials. At 3/4 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, it gives tradespeople the reach and bore size needed for anchor bolt installations, conduit sleeves, and through-penetrations in block or poured concrete. The carbide tip is engineered to handle the combined rotary and impact forces of percussion drilling, maintaining cutting edge integrity over repeated use. Weighing 1 pound, the bit is straightforward to handle and transport to the jobsite.

This bit is suited for residential and commercial construction applications where masonry penetrations are required. Typical scenarios include electrical rough-in through concrete block foundations, plumbing sleeve installations through CMU walls, and HVAC equipment anchor points. It is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors working with rotary hammer drills or standard hammer drills on concrete, brick, and block substrates.

Key Features

• Carbide tip withstands the combined rotary and percussive forces of hammer drilling
• 3/4 inch diameter suited for standard anchor sleeve and conduit knockout applications
• 12 inch length provides reach for full-depth penetrations through block walls and thick slabs
• Sold individually, allowing single-bit replacement without purchasing a set

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style percussion drill bit compatible with standard rotary hammer drills and hammer drills that accept SDS-style or conventional round-shank chuck configurations appropriate for this bit size. Verify shank type against your tool before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified contractors using a rotary hammer or hammer drill rated for percussion operation. Always wear appropriate eye and hearing protection when drilling masonry. Confirm there are no embedded rebar, conduit, or utilities in the drilling path before beginning. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IPC for penetration sealing and sleeve requirements when the bore passes through a fire-rated assembly.
