ARTU USA INC 01171 Multi Purpose Drill Bit 1/2 In x 24 In

ARTU 01171 Multi Purpose Drill Bit

The ARTU 01171 is a 1/2 inch by 24 inch multi purpose drill bit designed for general drilling tasks across various materials. It suits tradespeople and DIY users who need a single bit for wood, metal, and masonry work. The long length allows access to deep or hard-to-reach holes. Buyers needing specialised bits for concrete, glass, or very large diameters should look elsewhere.

Capacity and reach

The 24 inch overall length provides significant reach for through-drilling thick beams, walls, or flooring. The 1/2 inch cutting diameter handles common fastener and anchor sizes. The bit runs out when the material exceeds its cutting geometry or when a larger diameter hole is required. It is not suited for core drilling or holes beyond its fixed 1/2 inch size.

Heat, noise and power draw

Heat builds at the cutting edges during prolonged use, especially in metal or dense masonry; periodic withdrawal clears debris and reduces temperature. Noise level depends on the drill motor and material density, not the bit itself. Power draw is determined entirely by the drill used; the bit adds no electrical load. Sharp flutes and steady pressure minimise friction and motor strain.
