Irwin 5026002 Masonry Drill Bit 3/16x4 in Carbide Tip 5-pack

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 5026002 is a professional-duty masonry drill bit designed for drilling into concrete, brick, and similar masonry materials. Measuring 3/16 inches in diameter and 4 inches in overall length, this bit features a tungsten carbide tip that delivers lasting durability through hard substrates. A slow spiral single-flute design channels drilling dust out of the hole quickly, reducing clogging and keeping the bit running cool. The shank is nickel plated for smooth, low-friction performance in both percussion hammer drilling and standard rotary drilling applications. Each package contains 5 bits, making this a practical supply for ongoing masonry work on job sites.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial masonry applications including anchor installation, conduit and bracket attachment, and through-penetrations in concrete block or brick. It supports both percussion (hammer drill) and rotary drilling modes, making it compatible with standard corded and cordless hammer drills. Electricians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general contractors regularly use masonry bits of this type when securing equipment, conduit, or supports to masonry walls, slabs, and foundations. The 5-piece pack is practical for any professional keeping spares on hand.

Installation Notes

Masonry drilling is typically performed by licensed tradespeople during rough-in or finish stages of construction. Before drilling, confirm no embedded rebar, conduit, or utilities are present in the drilling path using a scanning tool. Use the appropriate hammer drill setting for percussion applications and rotary-only mode when drilling softer masonry to avoid bit damage. Allow the bit to clear dust from the hole periodically by withdrawing slightly during the drilling stroke to prevent binding and overheating.
