Drilling into concrete is no small task. Dense, tough, and often reinforced with steel, concrete demands a specialist drill bit to get the job done quickly and cleanly. Let’s break down the types of concrete drill bits and when to use them.
What Are Concrete Drills?
Concrete drill bits are designed with tough carbide tips and reinforced shanks to withstand the pressure and heat of drilling into masonry and concrete. Unlike standard bits, they won’t dull or fail when tackling hard materials.

Best Practice for Using Concrete Drill Bits
- Always use a drill with hammer function when working with concrete.
- Let the bit do the work—don’t force it.
- Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear dust and reduce heat.
- Keep your bits sharp and replace them if the carbide tip wears down.
For light masonry jobs, the Profi Beton range is more than enough. But for reinforced concrete or intensive site work, Force X SDS-Plus drills are the professional’s choice.
