Description

Drill Faster and Last Longer in Tough Concrete

Maximize your efficiency on the jobsite with the Bosch BlueGranite Turbo™ Hammer Drill Bit (HCBG16T). Designed for heavy-duty drilling applications, this 1/2-inch bit delivers up to 5X longer life and 2X faster speed than standard masonry bits. The upgraded 4-grind carbide head features aggressive cutting angles that pulverize brick, block, and concrete with ease, while the multi-grind centering tip ensures precise, non-slip starts. This means you can drill cleaner holes for anchors significantly faster, reducing fatigue and increasing your daily output.

Engineered for secure holding power, the bit features Bosch’s exclusive PowerGrip hex shank. This robust shank design prevents the bit from slipping in the chuck and enables full compatibility with both standard hammer drills and high-torque impact drivers. The milled U-flutes with deep-cut spirals effectively channel dust and debris out of the hole, keeping the bit cool and preventing jamming during deep drilling. Whether you are setting large wedge anchors or running pipe through masonry walls, the HCBG16T provides the durability and performance professional tradespeople demand.

Key Features

  • Turbo Speed: Delivers 2X faster drilling and 5X longer life compared to standard masonry bits.
  • PowerGrip Shank: Aggressive hex shank design locks into the chuck to prevent slippage and allows for use in impact drivers.
  • Precision Starts: Multi-grind carbide centering tip prevents walking for accurate hole placement.
  • Advanced Geometry: 4-grind head provides two additional cutting angles to break down masonry materials rapidly.
  • Dust Ejection: Milled U-flutes with deep spirals quickly remove dust to keep the bit running cool and fast.
  • Impact Rated: Rugged construction withstands the high torque of modern impact drivers.
  • Durable Carbide: Bosch-made carbide tip ensures outstanding wear resistance under heavy loads.

Pro-Tip: The 1/2-inch diameter is the standard size for installing 1/2-inch wedge anchors (Red Heads). For maximum holding power, be sure to clean the hole thoroughly with a blow-out bulb or vacuum after drilling. Residual dust left in the hole can act as a lubricant, significantly reducing the pull-out strength of your anchor.
