Bosch BlueGranite Turbo 1/2 in. X 12 in. L Carbide Tipped Hammer Drill Bit Hex Shank

Introducing the Bosch BlueGranite Turbo 1/2 in x 12 in Carbide Tipped Hammer Drill Bit with Hex Shank — the trusted choice for tackling hard masonry with confidence. Built to endure demanding drilling tasks, this bit pairs a carbide tip with Turbo-flute geometry to deliver cleaner holes and longer life in concrete, brick, and other tough materials.

What makes this bit stand out

• extends bit life and sustains sharpness under demanding hammer drill use, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• optimizes flute geometry for efficient chip removal, helping maintain speed and reduce heat buildup during deep drilling.
• with a 10" flute length enables deep masonry holes, ideal for long anchors and wiring runs in walls and floors.
• provides a secure fit in impact-ready chucks and minimizes cam-out, translating to steadier starts and less slippage during drilling.
• centers a robust hole for heavy-duty anchors while maintaining manageable drilling control in concrete.
• paired with a hex configuration supports compatibility with a wide range of standard hammer drills equipped for hex shanks.
• keeps the bit protected and organized in tool kits or job-site totes; exact piece count: 1.

Ideal applications and use cases

This bit is purpose-built for high-demand masonry tasks. Use it for:

• Drilling deep holes for concrete anchors, rebar supports, or heavy-duty fasteners in poured concrete or masonry walls.
• Creating long through-holes for plumbing, electrical conduit, or ventilation runs where precision and durability are crucial.
• Situations where a trusted brand and proven carbide durability reduce downtime on the job site.

Why professionals and DIYers trust Bosch BlueGranite Turbo

• Durable carbide tip stands up to hard materials, delivering consistent performance over more holes between sharpening or replacements.
• Turbo flute geometry improves material removal, helping you maintain drilling speed while reducing heat buildup that can dull bits.
• Hex shank design delivers a robust, slip-resistant connection, translating to cleaner starts and fewer bit slips in hammer mode.
• Long length provides versatility for deep drilling tasks without needing multiple bits or extensions.

Practical tips for best results

• Use the hammer drill in concrete or masonry mode to maximize efficiency and bit life.
• Start at a low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed gradually while applying steady, even pressure—avoid excessive force that can cause bit binding.
• Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and cool the tip, especially on long-depth holes.
• Keep the work surface steady and secure; a stable platform reduces bit walking and promotes accurate hole placement.
