Irwin 5026019 Masonry Drill Bit 5/8x6 Inches 5-pack

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 5026019 is a professional-duty masonry drill bit designed for percussion and rotary drilling into concrete, brick, and similar masonry materials. The bit features a tungsten carbide tip that resists wear through demanding applications, and a nickel-plated body that reduces friction for smoother, faster drilling. The slow spiral flute design accelerates debris removal from the hole, keeping the bit running cooler and reducing clogging during deep drilling passes. Bits sized at 7/16 inches and larger, including this 5/8-inch model, come with a reduced shank for compatibility with standard chuck sizes. This listing contains a pack of 5 bits.

This bit is suited for trade and commercial applications where repeated drilling into masonry substrates is required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors rely on carbide-tipped masonry bits like this one for penetrating concrete block walls, brick facades, and poured concrete slabs during rough-in and fixture work. The 6-inch length provides reach for deeper penetrations without requiring an extension, and the reduced shank makes it straightforward to chuck in standard rotary or hammer drills.

Key Features

• Tungsten carbide tip rated for concrete and brick drilling in both rotary and percussion modes
• Slow spiral flute design clears drilling dust and debris quickly to maintain cutting efficiency
• Nickel-plated body reduces friction and supports smooth, fast bit travel through masonry
• Reduced shank on 7/16-inch and larger sizes fits standard drill chucks without an adapter
• Suitable for deep drilling applications due to 6-inch overall length
• Pack of 5 bits supports job-site inventory and reduces downtime from bit wear

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock masonry drill bit for use with standard rotary and hammer drills accepting reduced-shank bits in professional masonry drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Masonry drill bits of this type are installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople during structural penetration work. Always wear eye protection and a dust mask when drilling masonry, as silica-containing dust is a respiratory hazard. Use the bit at the drill speed and feed rate recommended by the drill manufacturer for masonry applications, and avoid forcing the bit, which can overheat the carbide tip. When using percussion mode, ensure the work surface is stable and free of embedded rebar or conduit before drilling.
