Drill Bits

Our drill bits range covers every trade task – from masonry to metal and timber. Whether you're running HSS on site or fine drilling indoors, we've got every bit you’ll need.

Who Uses Drill Bits?

Drill bits are a staple for any trade kit and are used daily by:

  • Electricians – Long bits for routing conduit or backboxes through block.
  • Plumbers – Wood and metal bits for pipe access through joists or trunking.
  • Joiners – Brad points and augers for clean finishes in timber.
  • Multi-trades – Carry mixed bit sets to suit any install or fix.

Drill Bits Are Great for Jobs Such As:

  • Fixing battens to masonry or brick
  • Drilling timber joists or uprights for pipe runs
  • Cutting metal sheeting or enclosures
  • Mounting fixings through plasterboard or tiles

How to Choose the Right Drill Bit

The right drill bit depends on what you're drilling and how often. Here's what to look for:

1. Material Type

Wood: Choose spade or brad point bits for clean cuts.
Masonry: Use carbide-tipped bits for block and concrete.
Metal: Go for HSS or cobalt for drilling steel, aluminium or pipework.

2. Diameter & Length

Choose based on anchor size or bore depth. Long bits are ideal for joists or deep fixings.

Popular Drill Bit Accessories

Boost your performance and protect your kit with drill bit accessories made for trade.

1. Bit Storage Cases

Keep mixed sets organised and safe on-site or in the van.

2. Sharpeners & Stone Blocks

Restore cutting edges and avoid early replacements.

3. Depth Stops & Extensions

Add control for stop-drilling or reach in awkward zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best drill bit for brick?

Use a masonry bit with a hammer drill. Carbide tips are ideal for longevity in dense brick or block.

Can I use wood bits on plastic?

Yes, especially spade or brad point bits – just run the drill slower to avoid melting or chipping.

Are HSS drill bits suitable for stainless steel?

Yes – but cobalt variants are better for longevity and edge retention when drilling harder metals.

Do drill bits wear out quickly?

Depends on the material and frequency of use. Cheap bits wear fast on hard surfaces – upgrade to pro brands for better lifespan.
