Key Features of Black and Decker Drill Bits

Each type of bit is designed around the material it cuts:

• HSS construction: High-speed steel bits cope with the heat of drilling metal, so they hold an edge better than basic carbon steel.
• Masonry tips: Masonry bits are built for brick, block and concrete. They are suited to rotary drills and to hammer drills where the material is harder.
• Wood-specific designs: Wood bits are shaped to locate accurately and clear shavings, which helps keep holes neat in softwood and hardwood.
• Glass and tile tips: Specialist tips are made for brittle surfaces, so you can drill ceramic tiles for fixings without cracking them when you use a steady, light touch.
• Storage cases: Sets are supplied in cases, which keep sizes organised and protect the cutting edges between jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Black and Decker drill bit should I use for brick or concrete?

Use a masonry bit. For harder materials such as concrete, a hammer drill with the hammer action on will drill faster and with less effort than a standard rotary drill.

Can I drill metal with Black and Decker HSS drill bits?

Yes. HSS bits are designed for metal. Use a moderate speed and steady pressure, and add a little cutting oil to reduce heat and help the bit last longer.

What size drill bit do I need for a wall plug?

Check the size printed on the plug packaging and match the bit to it. For screw pilot holes in timber, choose a bit slightly narrower than the screw's core. For clearance holes, choose one slightly wider than the screw shank.

How do I drill tiles without cracking them?

Use a glass and tile bit, start at low speed with the drill's hammer action switched off, and apply light pressure. Masking tape over the drilling point can help stop the bit slipping on the glaze. Available from Tooled-Up.com, these bits are made for this job.
