Hammer drill bit Bosch 1 618 596 188, diameter 15 mm, 1 pc

Bosch hammer drill bit 1 618 596 188 with a 15 mm diameter is a single-piece masonry drill designed for use in hammer drilling and rotary hammer applications. It is intended to create clean, accurate holes in concrete, brick and other masonry materials where impact-plus-rotation drilling is required. The bit is supplied as one unit and fits tools that accept standard hammer drill bits.

Advantages

The drill bit combines a 15 mm working diameter with a robust shank and head geometry engineered for efficient chip removal and penetration in masonry. Its single-piece construction reduces the risk of breakage at connection points and simplifies handling on the job. The bit provides consistent hole diameter and reliable performance during impact drilling tasks, helping to maintain drilling speed and reduce user effort compared with ordinary twist bits when working in hard masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and plugs
• Creating openings in brick and block walls for installations
• Preparing holes for electrical conduit and plumbing penetrations
• General construction and repair work involving masonry substrates

Key specifications

• Working diameter: 15 mm
• Intended application: hammer drilling in masonry
• Construction: single-piece drill bit
• Compatible with rotary hammers and hammer drills that accept hammer drill bits
• Design features: optimized tip and flute geometry for impact drilling and chip evacuation

How to use

Select a rotary hammer or hammer drill that supports hammer drill bits and secure the bit according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling point, set the drill to the hammer or hammer-plus-rotation mode, and start drilling with steady, moderate pressure. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and chips from the hole and avoid overheating. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling masonry.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the 15 mm hammer drill bit with the correct hammer setting for the substrate, keep the bit aligned with the drilling axis, and allow the tool to work without excessive force. When drilling deep holes, withdraw the bit occasionally to remove debris and extend bit life.
