Buying advice

When choosing a core drill bit consider material (carbide vs. diamond), shank type (SDS-Plus, SDS-Max, or standard), and the typical hole size you need. For frequent heavy-duty work, premium carbide bits like Hilti or Milwaukee provide longevity and lower vibration, while budget-friendly options such as DeWalt or iDig are suitable for occasional residential use. Match the bit’s shank to your hammer for optimal power transfer.
