Multi Material Drill Bits

Learn more about multi material drill bits

Multi material drill bits are a useful option when the job calls for one drill bit for different materials, but you still need to check the product listing against the hardest material in the task.

Use the product specifications to compare rated materials, shank type, diameter and working length before you buy. That helps you match the bit to the drill and the fixing method, and it gives you a clearer check on suitability for the material combination you are drilling.

Typical uses

• Drilling fixings into brick and mortar for general site work.

• Pre-drilling through metal and timber where a mixed material fixing route is needed.

• Working on plasterboard and other common building materials where a multi purpose drill bit keeps the job moving.

• Choosing a drill bit for mixed substrates when you need universal drill bits for multiple materials rather than a single material specialist bit.

How to choose the right multi material drill bit

• Check the substrate first, then match the bit to the hardest material you expect to drill through.

• Choose the correct shank type for your drill, whether that is a standard chuck, SDS or SDS Plus.

• Compare the product specifications for rated materials, size and working length.

• Use the product description to check suitability for the fixing method and the material combination on the job.

• If the task is mainly in one material, a specialist bit may give a better result than a multi material drill bit.

Before you order

• Confirm the diameter and working length you need for the fixing or hole size.

• Check compatibility with your drill's chuck or SDS system before you add it to your basket.

• If you need several sizes, check the range first so you can pick the right option for each task.
