            CONCRETE & MASONRY DRILL BITS

Spyder® Concrete & Masonry Drilling Solutions are engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and long-lasting performance in concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, block, stone, tile, glass, and other demanding materials. From anchor installation and rough-in work to heavy-duty drilling, demolition, and finish applications, each tool is purpose-built to maximize speed, durability, and control.

Advanced technologies including Full Carbide Heads, Nano-Bond™, Dual-Zone Microstructure™, and Core-Lock™ help Spyder® bits resist wear, withstand extreme impacts, and maintain performance in the toughest materials. Optimized flute designs improve dust evacuation and reduce heat buildup, while specialized tip geometries deliver cleaner, more accurate holes.

The lineup includes SDS-Plus and SDS-Max Rotary Hammer Drill Bits, Hammer Drill Bits, Concrete Screw Drill Bits, Multi-Material Drill Bits, Glass & Tile Bits, and professional-grade Chisels. Whether drilling anchor holes, installing fasteners, breaking concrete, removing tile, or working across multiple materials, Spyder® offers a purpose-built solution designed to work harder, last longer, and deliver reliable results on every job.

Use the guides and charts below to identify the ideal Spyder® drilling and demolition solution for your material, tool platform, and application.

Hard on the edge, tough at the core.

Spyder’s Dual-Zone Microstructure fights wear at
the cutting edge while powering through impacts
with a shock-absorbing core.

Carbide that won’t let go.

Proprietary welding process permanently fuses the full carbide head to the shaft, delivering superior strength, durability, and performance where competitors’ bits fail.

Strength you can feel from tip to shank.

Unlike surface-treated bits, our through-hardening process drives hardness throughout the entire material, delivering consistent strength from tip to shank.
