Dewalt DWA56245 Rotary Hammer Drill Bit 3/8 Inches

Product Description

The DEWALT DWA56245 is a carbide-tipped rotary hammer drill bit designed for drilling into concrete and masonry. The bit features a spear cutting shape and a 2-flute geometry that channels debris out of the hole during drilling. The shank type is Round with Flats, measuring 3/8 inches in diameter, which seats securely in compatible rotary hammer chucks. Usable flute length is 3.25 inches, and overall length is 5.25 inches. This bit is manufactured from carbide-tipped high speed steel, balancing edge retention with impact resistance. It is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need anchor or conduit pass-through holes in concrete or block.

This bit is intended for use in residential and light commercial applications where anchor bolts, conduit sleeves, or mechanical fastener holes are required in concrete, block, or masonry substrates. The 3/8-inch diameter is a common size for wedge anchors and sleeve anchors used in equipment mounting. The spear tip geometry allows the bit to start cleanly without walking on hard surfaces. Packaged as a single bit, it is appropriate for spot replacement or single-task deployment on a job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified contractors using a rotary hammer drill set to hammer-drill mode. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and hearing protection when drilling masonry. Confirm the drilling area is clear of embedded conduit, rebar, or utility lines before beginning. Periodically withdraw the bit during drilling to clear debris and reduce heat buildup at the carbide tip.
