What You Need To Complete The Job

A 12mm masonry bit needs a capable SDS hammer drill; see the Power Tools range. For drilling steel near the masonry, a pilot drill is the right companion, and safety glasses are a must for masonry dust. The rest of the kit is in General Hand Tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 12mm hole the standard for heavy anchors?

Twelve millimetre is a common hole size for heavy dynabolts and masonry anchors. It is the size many structural fixings specify, and the D613 12mm bit drills that hole in concrete, brick, aerated concrete, stone and granite.

What is a 12mm masonry drill used for?

A 12mm SDS masonry bit drills the hole for heavy masonry anchors and dynabolts, including structural fixings in concrete. It is a common size for fixing heavy brackets, posts and machinery to floors and walls.

How deep can this bit drill?

With a 160mm working length the bit drills holes up to 160mm deep, which covers most anchor fixing depths. For deeper or larger holes, step up to the D614 series with a 210mm working length.

Do I need to use hammer action?

Yes. The SDS shank and carbide tip are designed to work with the hammer action of an SDS drill. Running without hammer will not cut concrete effectively, and it dulls the tip.

How do I stop the hole wandering on smooth concrete?

The Z shape self centering point bites into the concrete and holds the bit on the mark, so you rarely need to centre punch. Start gently, let the point establish the hole, then apply the hammer and feed.
