Masonry Drill Bit & Multi-Material

Adiseal Ultimate masonry drill bit is also a multi material drill bit that drills faster and drills more holes than any other masonry drill bit or multi material drill bit when drilling without hammer function. This give it numerous advantages over hammer drilling.

Advantages of no hammer drilling

Some of the advantages of drilling without hammer function include:

  • Quieter drilling
  • Less vibration damage on hands
  • Can drill closer to an edge
  • Less risk of loosening mortar
  • Less risk of damaging substrate


Quieter drilling

Drilling with the hammer function on will result in loud drilling. This has the potential to damage hearing and also cause disturbance to other people. No hammer drilling results in quieter drilling, reducing the chance of damaging hearing and also disturbing other people.


Less vibration damage to hands

Using tools daily that vibrate can result in damage to hands. One of the problems that could arise is vibration white hand syndrome. Drilling without the hammer function reduces the amount of vibration on the hands and in turn reducing the chance of developing vibration white hands syndrome.


Can drill closer to an edge

When drilling close to an edge with a hammer drill, it’s easy to break the substrate, especially hard materials like brick and concrete. Drilling without the hammer function can make it safer to drill closer to an edge without breaking the material.


Less risk of loosening mortar

When drilling into materials like brick with a hammer drill, it’s possible to loosen the brick and mortar. Drilling without the hammer function reduces the chance of doing this making it more suitable for drilling brick walls.


Less risk of damaging substrate

With hammer drilling on hard materials, it’s possible the substrate will break due to the hammer action of the bit hitting the material. This can be especially problematic where the brick has been chased out for example to fit a electrical back box in. Drilling without hammer reduces the chance of breaking the substrate resulting in more safer drilling.

No hammer drilling vs hammer drilling into brick. Hammer drill broke the brick which is a common problem with hammer drills.


Adiseal Ultimate (No Hammer) vs SDS Hammer Drill Speed Test

In our test drilling into a brick using Adiseal Ultimate masonry & multi material drill bit in a basic cordless drill set to drill without hammer function, it managed to drill as fast as a corded SDS hammer drill. They both took 5 seconds to drill into the brick but the SDS hammer drill broke the brick which is a common problem with hammer drills. This was not the case with the no hammer drilling of Adiseal Ultimate masonry & multi material drill bit.


How to use a masonry drill bit & multi-material drill bit

How to use a masonry drill bit & multi-material drill bit

  1. Set the Drill Speed

    Depending on the material you’re drilling into, set your drill to the appropriate speed. Many masonry drill bits and multi-material bits work well at medium to high speeds, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific bit.

  2. Mark Your Drilling Location

    Use a pencil or a marker to mark the precise location where you want to drill your hole. This will help you maintain accuracy in your drilling.

  3. Apply Steady Pressure

    Position the drill bit tip directly over the marked spot on your material. Apply steady, even pressure as you start drilling. Be sure to keep the drill level and perpendicular to the material’s surface.

  4. Start Drilling

    Begin drilling at a slow and controlled speed. As you penetrate the material, you can gradually increase the speed for faster progress. Pay attention to the feel of the drill and adjust the pressure as needed to maintain control.

  5. Clear Debris

    Periodically withdraw the drill bit to clear away any accumulated debris. This helps prevent overheating and ensures a clean hole.

  6. Complete the Drilling

    Continue drilling until you’ve reached the desired depth. Be patient and avoid forcing the drill, especially when drilling through harder materials like masonry.

  7. Withdraw the Drill Bit

    After completing the drilling, turn off the drill and carefully withdraw the drill bit from the hole.

  8. Inspect and Clean

    Examine the hole to ensure it meets your requirements. If necessary, clean up any remaining debris or sharp edges.
