Avanti Pro 1/2 Inch Carbide Tipped Masonry Drill Bit 6 Inch Length Straight Shank for Brick and Block

Heavy-Duty Masonry Drilling: Avanti Pro 1/2 in. Carbide Tipped Drill Bit

Tackle tough installation projects with confidence using the Avanti Pro PMAPC1060 Drill Bit. This robust 1/2-inch bit is engineered to deliver top-quality performance when drilling into challenging masonry materials like brick, cinder block, and concrete. Whether you are installing large anchors, running conduit, or setting lag shields, this bit provides the durability and precision needed for professional results. Its core features a premium carbide tip, specifically reinforced to maintain a sharp cutting edge and resist wear during extended use in abrasive substrates.

Speed and cleanliness are critical on the job site, and the PMAPC1060 excels at both thanks to its efficient dual flute design. As you drill, the deep flutes actively channel dust and debris out of the hole, preventing clogging and reducing friction for a faster, smoother cut. The 10mm straight shank ensures a secure, non-slip fit in standard 1/2-inch drill chucks. Per manufacturer guidelines, this bit is optimized for use in rotary mode with variable speed drills to maximize tool life and hole accuracy.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When using larger diameter bits like this 1/2" model, start at a lower speed to establish the hole without "walking." Once the tip has penetrated the surface, you can increase speed. If you hit a hard aggregate pebble within the concrete that stops progress, try pulsing the drill trigger or slightly changing the drill angle to break past the obstruction.
