Earlier this summer we got a chance to go hang out with the folks at Bosch and check out some of their new tools. While the power tools were fun to play with, we didn’t want to leave out the new accessories we learned of as well.

Carbide hammer drill bits are for made for one thing: fast impact drilling in concrete, stone, or masonry. Low voltage, high temperature brazing prevents carbide cutting edge from breaking out even when heat builds up during deep drilling. Various usable lengths up to 10″.
