Concrete and masonry drill bits

High-Performance Concrete Drill Bits for Demanding Drilling Tasks

Concrete drill bits are needed in heavy-duty construction, renovation, and demolition work. Designed to meet the tough requirements of drilling into reinforced concrete, brick, and masonry, Hilti concrete drill bits optimise the drilling process by delivering superior cutting speed, longevity, and consistent hole geometry.

What Are Concrete Drill Bits?

Concrete drill bits are specialised cutting tools engineered to bore through dense materials like concrete and masonry. Unlike ordinary twist drill bits, these bits often incorporate advanced carbide heads, multiple cutting edges, and helix designs optimised for material removal.

Key features of high-quality concrete drill bits and masonry drill bits:

• Carbide tip technology helps maintain a sharp cutting edge when drilling into tough surfaces.
• Optimised flute design efficiently channels dust and debris away from the drilling zone, minimising friction and increasing speed.
• Compatibility with SDS-Plus or SDS-Max systems ensures robust engagement for powerful hammer drilling.

Hilti Concrete Drill Bits for Professionals

Hilti drill bits are designed to offer exceptional performance in numerous drilling scenarios, from setting anchors in reinforced concrete to coring large openings in masonry walls.

• Optimised drilling efficiency: The unique head geometry and advanced carbide formula significantly reduce drilling time and wear. This ensures consistent hole diameters for reliable anchor setting or through-hole applications.
• Superior wear resistance: Rigorous testing and premium-grade materials give Hilti bits excellent longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements on demanding jobsites.
• Enhanced dust control: Many Hilti designs feature specialised flutes or hollow channels for virtually dust-free drilling when used with compatible dust-extraction systems.

Types of Concrete Drill Bits Available at Hilti

Hilti offers a range of high-performance concrete drill bits designed for various drilling applications, from standard hammer drilling to precision anchor setting. Each type is engineered with advanced materials and innovative features to enhance durability, speed, and accuracy in concrete and masonry work.

Anchor Setting Tool

Anchor setting tools combine drilling and setting functions into one efficient system. These bits typically feature integrated stop mechanisms to achieve precise embedment depth in reinforced concrete.

Bell-Shaped Hammer Drill Bits

Bell-shaped hammer drill bits are designed with a larger-diameter head for projects requiring oversize or countersunk holes.

Hammer Drill Bits

Hammer drill bits are the go-to choice for standard hammer drilling tasks in concrete, brick, and masonry. Their robust shank design and high-grade carbide cutting edges deliver precise, efficient drilling with reduced vibration.

Hollow Drill Bits

Hollow drill bits incorporate a cavity running through the centre, which can be connected to dust extraction systems.

Masonry Drill Bits

Masonry drill bits deliver reliable performance when working with materials such as brick, plasterboard, or lightweight concrete blocks.

Percussion Core Bits

Percussion core bits help create larger-diameter openings in concrete and masonry. Their multi-segment design carves out cylindrical cores quickly and efficiently.

Stop Drill Bits

Stop drill bits feature built-in depth stops to streamline precise hole drilling. This functionality is especially beneficial for applications requiring exact hole depths.

FAQs

What is the difference between SDS-Plus and SDS-Max drill bits?

SDS-Plus bits typically fit smaller rotary hammer drills, handling moderate drilling tasks in concrete and masonry. SDS-Max bits are designed for larger rotary hammers, delivering higher impact energy.

How do Hilti drill bits handle rebar hits?

Many Hilti concrete drill bits utilise high-grade carbide and advanced head designs to withstand the impact of drilling through embedded rebar. This technology helps maintain drilling speed and prolongs the service life of the bit, even under repeated stress.

Is Hilti genuinely committed to innovation and sustainability?

Hilti regularly invests in R&D (Research and Development) and advanced production methods to reduce environmental impact and improve tool performance. This includes developing bits that maintain efficiency and resist wear, ultimately minimising waste and contributing to a more sustainable jobsite.
