The DEWALT DW5440 SDS+ hammer bit is built for serious concrete and masonry work. This 1/2 x 16 x 18-inch rock carbide bit features a strong tapered core, two-stage flute design, and two sharp carbide edges that deliver clean, round holes for secure anchors. Whether you're a contractor drilling deep holes in foundation walls or a DIYer mounting shelving, the DW5440 offers the durability and precision you expect from DEWALT.
The tapered core of the DW5440 resists flute breakage, especially when you're drilling deep holes. That's the kind of toughness you need on a job site where one broken bit can shut down progress. The two-stage flute design with variable helix pattern aggressively moves debris out of the hole, so you keep drilling at optimal speed without packing dust.
Two sharp carbide cutting edges produce true holes with less walking and fewer blowouts. That means your anchor or dowel sits exactly where you need it. The wear mark indicator lets you check hole diameter accuracy at a glance, so you're not guessing whether the bit has worn down.
This bit is engineered for concrete and masonry. In most pours, the carbide tips can handle accidental contact with rebar without shattering. But if you're regularly drilling through heavy rebar, we'd recommend a dedicated rebar-cutting SDS+ bit. The DW5440 is protected by DEWALT's No Break Guarantee: if the bit fails for any reason while the wear mark is still visible, DEWALT will replace it (excludes DW5400, DW5401, DW5401B25). That gives you peace of mind on the job.
The 1/2-inch diameter is the most popular size for general masonry anchors and through-holes. With a 16-inch working length and 18-inch overall length, this bit covers deep drilling where standard bits fall short. If you need shallower holes, consider shorter SDS+ bits for better control.
The DW5440 is made in Germany and backed by DEWALT's limited warranty.

Here’s how to get cleaner holes and longer bit life.
Let the hammer action do the work. Pressurize the bit with firm but not heavy pressure, and use the tool's full impact setting. Too much pressure can overload the flutes; too little will let the bit bounce.
The two-stage flutes are good, but on deep holes you can still benefit from pulling the bit out occasionally to clear dust. That keeps the carbide cutting edges cool and fast.
The wear mark is your honest friend. When it disappears, the bit is no longer 1/2-inch accurate. Replacing it before then keeps your anchors secure.
It can often handle incidental rebar contact due to its carbide tips, but for frequent rebar drilling we recommend a dedicated rebar-cutting bit.
Working length is the depth of hole the bit can cut; overall length includes the shank. DW5440 has a 16-inch working length and 18-inch overall.
Yes, it has a standard SDS+ shank compatible with all SDS+ hammers.
Use the wear mark indicator: when the wear mark disappears, the bit is no longer producing accurate 1/2-inch holes and should be replaced.
Drills like a champ.
Made clean holes in my concrete. It's a bit pricey, but works well.
I've used these bits for years. They hold up to heavy use. The rock carbide tip really stays sharp. Drilled dozens of holes in concrete and brick. No breakage, unlike other brands. Highly recommended.
This bit drills through my foundation without any issue. It's a sturdy tool. I'm glad I bought it.
