1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits
The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.
Drill bits with flats on shank have three flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in the drill chuck.

Cobalt Steel 1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits
With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated drill bits.

Carbide-Tipped 1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits
More wear resistant than cobalt steel and high-speed steel, these carbide-tipped bits maintain a sharper, harder edge at high temperatures. The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.

SDS-Plus-Shank Masonry Drill Bits for Rotary Hammers
The SDS-Plus shank has two deep slots and two shallow slots for use with SDS-Plus-drive rotary hammers. These bits cannot be used with SDS-Max-drive rotary hammers. Drill holes using simultaneous rotary and hammering action to break masonry material into tiny granules. This type of bit drills faster and penetrates material with less pressure than rotary-only bits. Also called percussion or impact bits.
