Questions & Answers
Will this drill through steel security door?
Asked by Ric March 17, 2016Sure.
how long is the drill from the end of the shank to the tip
Asked by Michael February 27, 2019Please note that the answers to this question are for the 7/16 in bit only although they come up when searching other sizes. Smaller diameters are proportionally smaller. The 5/16 in bit makes 1" maximum depth holes.
Can this be used for concrete?
Asked by Jim November 3, 2015I seriously doubt it! I use these for wood and even for metal, but they break easily. I can't imagine using them on concrete or brick.
Can this drill 3/8 thick Ar500 steel?
Asked by Edd March 18, 2017Not sure specifically about Ar500 steel but it went through 1/2 thick steel mounted on my front axle on my 4x4. You couldn't hardly tell the bit had been used after two holes.
Model # 48-89-4629
Asked by ralph February 15, 2016I bought mine last week from Home Depot to drill a bigger hole in my Thule bike rack to match the hitch on my car to install the hitch lock. Wonderful experience working with this bit.
Will it work go drill thru wrought iron fence?
Asked by Do April 15, 2017Probably if you take your time and don't force it. It also wouldn't hurt to use a little drill cutting oil.
What is the maximum hole depth when drilling a block of wood?
Asked by DIYer December 19, 2018About five inches if you want to make it through the other side. I used this mainly on some stainless steel bars and they worked great.
Is this diamond capped, can it penetrate through stucco
Asked by James May 12, 2020Hello James, the Shockwave 15/64 in. Titanium Drill Bit has a Titanium coating. This product can penetrate through Stucco.
What bolt can I use with this bit?

can this bit be used for ceramic tile? if not, which bit is appropriate?
