Hammer drill bit Bosch 2 608 579 118 for rotary hammers — for brick, concrete, stone

Bosch 2 608 579 118 hammer drill bit is engineered for use with rotary hammers and designed to drill efficiently in brick, concrete and natural stone. The bit features an SDS Plus shank for fast, secure tool engagement and reliable power transfer when working with hammer drilling functions. It is intended for professional tradespeople and DIY users who require consistent drilling performance in masonry and construction applications.

Advantages

The SDS Plus connection ensures quick bit changes and firm retention in compatible rotary hammers, reducing downtime on the job. The carbide-tipped cutting head and robust shaft geometry provide improved impact resistance and longer service life when drilling into hard mineral materials. The bit’s balanced design delivers stable drilling with reduced walking at the drill point, enabling accurate hole placement in brick, concrete and stone.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in brick walls
• Creating holes for dowels and rebar in concrete
• Installing plumbing and electrical conduits through masonry
• Repair and renovation tasks involving natural stone elements

Key specifications

• Tool type: hammer drill bit for rotary hammers
• Shank type: SDS Plus
• Intended materials: brick, concrete, natural stone
• Tip: carbide cutting head for improved wear resistance
• Application: hammer drilling / percussion drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS Plus shank into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks securely. Select the hammer drilling mode on your tool and position the bit perpendicular to the work surface. Start drilling at low speed to create a guide point, then apply steady pressure while increasing speed to the required level for the material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and prevent overheating. For deep holes, use intermittent drilling to maintain bit life and drilling accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use with rotary hammers that accept SDS Plus shanks and ensure correct hammer drilling settings for masonry. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment—safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection—when drilling. For reinforced concrete, check for reinforcement and use appropriate core or rebar-cutting accessories when necessary. Regularly inspect the cutting tip and replace the bit when wear affects drilling efficiency.
