Bosch launches its first 8 cutter concrete drill bit 22 May 2025

Bosch Power Tools has unveiled two masonry products, including the new Bulldog Xtreme8™ 8 cutter SDS-plus concrete drill bit, a first for Bosch, as well as the Blue Xtreme™ carbide-tipped drill bit.

The new Bulldog Xtreme8™ concrete drill bit, which is compatible with all SDS-plus rotary hammers, debuted alongside Bosch Power Tools’ Blue Xtreme™ carbide-tipped drill bits, which includes either the PowerGrip Shank or the ¼ inch hex shank, depending on the bit’s diameter and length.

Equipped with an 8 cutter head, Bulldog Xtreme8™ provides eight cutting edges to help withstand rebar hits, and to help prevent the bit from getting stuck. Also, the carbide head improves the strength of the bit tip, reducing breakage upon hitting rebar, while the centring tip is ideal for drilling anchoring holes with enhanced hole placement. These bits also bear an integrated wear mark to indicate when the bit has been fully worn.

“These new Bulldog Xtreme8™ SDS-plus concrete bits demonstrate our dedication to offering solutions that empower hard workers to conquer concrete and achieve exceptional results all day, every day on the jobsite,” says Steve Shepherd, vice-president and general manager for Bosch Tools North America.
