Craftright 7-Piece SDS-Plus 2-Cutter Drill Bit Set $9.95 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings

370

Half price according to PriceHipster, https://pricehipster.com/product/AXxWOQvicACNAuZ_xUGL_g

About as cheap a set of SDS bits you will ever find. No idea if they are any good or how long they will last, as I generally just use Milwaukee bits these days.

They should be fine for DIY use though, and have the sizes you would need for most around the house jobs. The 3 sparsely worded reviews are 5 star.

Includes 1 each of 5mm x 110mm, 6mm x 110mm, 6.5mm x 110mm.
2 of 8mm x 160mm, 1 each of 10mm x 160mm & 12mm x 160mm.

Not a ton of stock but fairly widely available, https://bunnings.youinstock.com.au/search/0202621

And to save people asking, these are designed to be used in an SDS plus rotary hammer.
They can sort of work in a std hammer drill, but you have be careful how you line it up in the chuck. You could also just cut the slotted base off with a grinder. Would be easier to just buy std masonry bits though.

If you want something that is way better quality, spend $34.50 and buy this for example, Available from Total Tools, Sydney Tools TKD etc, https://www.totaltools.com.au/198170-milwaukee-5-12mm-2-cut-…

    I only use Milwaukee bits these days.

    Try the Bosch Expert range. I tried them after some UK YouTube dude that drills all day long said they were the bees knees.
    I only drill into brick/masonry a handful of times a year (and with a Std Hammer Drill), but compared to the Milwaukee one I had, it was like a hot knife into butter.

    • We settled on Milwaukee bits years ago when I was doing aircon installs and I have just stuck with them. All the others were ok but we found Milwaukee bits to be the best value as in price vs longevity vs effectiveness..

      It does make sense that the Bosch bits would be good as the invented the rotary hammer.

      I don't use the rotary hammer near as much at this point so I still have a fair few new, and half used bits, but I will definitely check the Bosch ones out.

        where do you source Milwaukee or Bosch Expert drill bits?

        I'm utterly sick and tired of buying ryobi or craftwright shit that just snaps and doesnt drill.

          I have bought the Milwaukee bits in the past from Sydney Tools, Total Tools etc. I just use the 2 cut types. I typically mainly use 5mm, 6mm and 12mm and have found no real benefit using 4 cut in these smaller sizes. I also prefer using the 160mm overall length bits over the shorter 110mm, But the shorter bits are sometimes handy.

          A good starter kit would be the Milwaukee 4932352339 at $34.50 and just add from there as you need.

          I did check out the Bosch bits and you can get them from Sydney Tools and Tool Kit Depot. They are 4 cut and a bit more expensive, but about the same pricing as Milwaukee 4 cut.

    Thanks OP.

    I don't expect to get a lot of durability out of these, but it is handy to have these sizes for my rotary hammer drill, which is getting a bit of use lately.

      i’ve done lots of holes into bricks and still work fine. Trend seems to 4 cutter if into concrete incase it hits reo, seems the carbide tips have better chance of surviving.

    Sorry.
    But yuck.

    • Any tips for drilling into super hard concrete?

      Our house has a carport underneath. They used an old decomissioned road bridge as the floor under the house/ carport roof.

      I'm trying to put up hangers etc in the carport roof… but the concrete is HARD. Drilled a lot of concrete, chased pipes through brick etc. But this stuff barely gets scratched with a Hilti SDS going full hammer into it!

      My masonry drills are no match for it at all.
      Any tips?

      Actually thinking of knocking this place down and rebuilding at some stage. No idea how we will remove this 6 x 7m "bridge".

      • what size holes are you drilling ? I find with bigger holes drill smaller diameter them bigger diameter. massonary hammer vs rotary hammer have very different actions, masonary hammer uses a cam and its operator pressure that does the work, the rotary hammer actually has a piston that hits like a hammer onto a chisel, the rotary hammer is all i use now on bricks or concrete

      • The drill may be up to the task, but if you are using shite bits then it will be a struggle.
        What bits are you using?

        See earlier posts for Bosch & Milwaukee recommendations.

      • @tunzafun001 do you have a full-size mains-powered SDS drill with the big round "tank" on the bottom - like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1500w-5j-rotary-hammer-dri… or this https://sydneytools.com.au/product/bayer-bh5kg-5kg-1600w-sds… ?

        I've used these even on extra-hard engineering bricks and they go through anything like butter.

        • It's a Hilti… basically that, but 3 times as big! Only an 8mm bit as well. This stuff is like it's diamond filled. Must have metal slag or similar in it..

          Not sure of the brand of bits. But been in operation for aprox 20 years and still look almost perfect. Never had this issue remotely before (I just core drilled a new 40mm waste in the bathroom floor. Went through it with zero resistance). Then used the same 8mm bit for plugs in bricks. Took seconds.

          This bridge concrete is from another planet!

          • @tunzafun001: Have you tried dynamite? Might be worth considering.

              @snuke: I basically am…but got a feeling the only thing left standing will be the concrete bridge!

    Great set for less than the price of a single high quality bit. I have these in my home kit and they do the job well for soft concrete and brick. They can't punch through rebar like my professional set though.

    Stay away from craftright. I find the only thing useable is the carpenter pencil. Other are just junk.

      I use the SDS chisel set for bathroom demo. Has been brilliant. Cost me $15.

      • i’ve had good success with craftright sds bits and chisels and have reno’d 3 brick houses. With HSS bits none of the cheapies last whether ryobi or makita into steel, ok for wood.

        • If you're drilling into steel you really need cobalt bits - HSS bits are useless for metal drilling.

    • Yep.
      These are as useful as a chocolate teapot.

    • mostly yes, but there are some value gems from craftright

    Cheap drill bits are a waste of time. Please buy something decent - some suggestions already.

      I have used Bosch bits, but being from their pro line, they should be good. And a good price with that deal.

    • Sorry, bad typo. Correction. I have not used Bosch bits.

      • No worries. I have ordered. I checked the reviews of other Bosch SDS plus bits. they looks good.
