Bosch Professional Masonry Drill Bits

Bosch Professional Masonry Drill Bits at Tooled-Up.com

Bosch Professional Masonry Drill Bits are built for drilling fixings into brick, block, stone and concrete. The selection at Tooled-Up.com covers conventional round-shank bit sets for hammer drills and SDS Plus bits for rotary hammers, plus single bits for when one size is all you need.

The choice runs from the Bosch 3 Piece SDS Plus Concrete and Masonry Drill Bit Set, a compact starter set, to the EXPERT 7X and PRO 5X SDS Plus bits with 4 cutter heads for tougher, heavier work. There are also Silver Percussion and Impact sets, a Blue Granite bit and a 35 Piece Drill and Screwdriver Bit Set for Masonry.

Many of the SDS Plus bits use a grooved carbide plate and an Activeteq centring tip. These help the bit start accurately and keep cutting through hard material.

Key Features of Bosch Professional Masonry Drill Bits

• SDS Plus-5 design – the grooved carbide plate with notches cuts efficiently and resists jamming in concrete.
• Activeteq centring tip – holds the bit in position at the start of the hole, so it doesn't wander and the entry stays clean.
• 4 cutter head construction – found on the EXPERT 7X and PRO 5X bits, it is designed for faster drilling and longer life in demanding concrete.
• Silver Percussion and Impact bits – suit hammer-action drilling in brick and block with standard round shanks.
• Set formats – 3, 4, 5 and 7 piece sets keep the common sizes together, so you're less likely to be caught short on site.
• Blue Granite bit – made for hard, dense materials such as granite and other tough masonry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SDS Plus and standard masonry bits?

SDS Plus bits fit the quick-release chuck on rotary hammers, which deliver stronger percussion for concrete. Standard round-shank bits, such as the Silver Percussion sets, fit conventional drill chucks and suit brick and block.

Which Bosch masonry bit suits hard concrete?

The EXPERT 7X and PRO 5X SDS Plus bits, with 4 cutter heads, are designed for demanding concrete work. Use them with a suitable SDS rotary hammer.

Can I use these bits in a cordless drill?

Standard round-shank bits can be used in a cordless drill with a hammer function. SDS Plus bits need an SDS Plus drill. For heavy drilling, a corded 240v hammer drill or SDS rotary hammer gives the best results.

How do I choose the right size for a wall plug?

Match the bit diameter to the wall plug manufacturer's recommended size, and drill slightly deeper than the screw length to allow for dust. Always wear safety glasses and check for hidden cables and pipes first, in line with HSE guidance.
