DW5226 Percussion Drill Bit, 1/4 In. X 12 In.

The DeWalt DW5226 is a carbide-tip percussion drill bit designed for drilling through masonry, concrete, rock and similar hard materials. This 1/4-inch by 12-inch bit is engineered to deliver fast, clean holes while reducing frustration caused by bit binding and walking during operation. Whether you're using a corded or cordless hammer drill, this bit tackles demanding applications where standard drill bits fail.

Percussion drilling requires a specialized bit design, and the DW5226 delivers with rock carbide tips that maximize surface contact. This construction extends bit life significantly—providing up to twice the longevity of conventional percussion bits and enabling more holes per charge with cordless hammerdrill tools. The optimized flute pattern actively removes dust and debris as you drill, preventing the clogging that causes binding and slows progress.

Features and Benefits

• Carbide Tip Design: Rock carbide tips provide maximum durability and extended life, drilling up to 2 times more holes than conventional percussion bits and enabling 50% more holes per charge with cordless tools.
• Reduced Bit Walking: The tip configuration minimizes lateral movement for improved accuracy and straighter holes, especially useful when drilling into uneven or hard surfaces.
• 4-Flute Spiral Design: The optimized flute pattern efficiently removes dust and debris as you work, reducing bit binding and keeping holes clean throughout the drilling process.
• 1/4-Inch Shank with Three Flats: Ensures secure grip in most hammer drill chucks and eliminates bit slippage during operation.
