Mount Prospect, IL - Unstoppable…that's what users need from your concrete and masonry drill bits. Break through concrete and rip into rebar…what else would professionals expect from Bosch, the industry leader in concrete and masonry construction bits. Introducing the X5L Hammer Carbide, the longest lasting bit on the market in concrete and rebar.
It all starts at the top and that's where the Bosch bit separates itself from the competition. The Bosch Full Head Carbide Tip provides a larger cutting edge, resulting in faster drilling speed and less carbide wear than competitive bits. And the sharp cutting edge rips into both concrete and rebar.
The carbide head also features a centric conical tip. This guides the bit through concrete and the new tip shape provides rounder holes for precision anchoring applications.
Precision anchoring is never a problem with the X5L because of the wear mark on the head of the bit. This allows the user to determine if the anchor will fit before the hole is drilled.
Unlike other bits, Bosch uses a diffusion bonding process where the carbide and steel are bonded together at the molecular level for a stronger bond the lasts longer. Competitive bits will braze the two materials together with a third material, which leads to bit failure, especially when encountering rebar.
The flute is designed to improve dust and debris removal so the blade runs cooler and lasts longer. The cross-section is optimized to reduce stress on the bit and improve performance with side hits and direct impact with rebar.
The results of these innovative features speak for themselves. In independent testing, the 1/4" X5L bits lasted 4 times longer in rebar than leading competitor of full head carbide bits.
The bits were designed with HVAC, electricians, plumbers and general installation and commercial construction professionals in mind. Bits range in diameter size from 3/16" to 1/2" and are offered in 4" to 18" lengths.
