In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the DEWALT 5/8 in. Diamond Tipped Tile Drill Bit, a purpose-built tool for clean, dependable tile holes that stand up to everyday use. With a diamond-tipped cutting edge, this bit is engineered to slice through ceramic and porcelain tile with precision, delivering smoother holes and reduced risk of chipping compared to standard bits.

Key details at a glance:

  • Diameter: 5/8 in. (0.625") for larger mounting holes and anchor placements
  • Overall length: 2-1/4 in. to comfortably pass through tile and reach underlying substrate
  • Shank: straight, 3/8 in. diameter for reliable fit in common drill chucks
  • Bit type: diamond tipped for superior life and performance on hard tile surfaces
  • Packaging: carded, sold as a single piece
  • Brand: DeWalt, a trusted name in heavy-duty construction tools

Why this diamond-tipped tile bit makes a difference

Diamond-tipped technology means the cutting edge remains sharper longer, especially when drilling into tough glaze and porcelain surfaces. The result is accurate hole placement with minimal wandering and reduced likelihood of tile cracks or chips around the hole. This is especially valuable for bathroom, kitchen, and backsplash installations where clean, precise holes are essential for mounting hardware, outlets, or fixtures.

Ideal use cases

  • Installing towel bars, sconces, electrical outlets, or plumbing fixtures into ceramic or porcelain tiles
  • Drilling through tile all the way into the substrate for secure anchors
  • Renovations and remodels where clean, repeatable hole sizes matter

Practical tips for best results

  1. Mark the drilling spot with a center punch or tape to prevent wandering.
  2. Use a slow-to-medium drilling speed and steady pressure; avoid forcing the bit.
  3. Keep the workpiece cool with light water cooling or pause briefly to prevent overheating.
  4. Begin with a pilot hole if needed to ensure straight entry, then finish with the 5/8" bit.
  5. Work perpendicular to the tile for a clean, round hole and minimal edge damage.

Whether you’re outfitting a new bathroom, upgrading a kitchen splash, or mounting hardware on tiled surfaces, the DEWALT 5/8 in. Diamond Tipped Tile Drill Bit delivers consistent, long-lasting performance. Its straight 3/8 in. shank fits standard drill chucks, while the diamond tip handles hard tile with confidence—giving you professional-grade holes that make your project look as good as it performs.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
