To drill into concrete to install shelves, you need a drill, but also the appropriate drill bit. In addition to concrete, you can rely on concrete drill bits to penetrate stone and all hard materials. They are designed to last and provide a good performance/comfort ratio. When choosing a concrete drill bit, consider the type of work to be done.
Characterized by its V-shaped tip, the concrete drill bit is specially designed to work with hard surfaces such as concrete and stone. This is particularly true for models offered by Bosch, Makita, Diager, and Varo. Note that there are different types of concrete drill bits: standard, extra, industrial, and SDS. Each has its specific use. For example, to drill a support made of concrete, brick, standard cement, tiles, or medium-hard materials, you can use an extra concrete drill bit. If you want to drill a support made of vibrated concrete or hard stone, an SDS concrete drill bit will be perfect. Generally, prefer drill bits made of tungsten carbide to reduce the risk of breakage. Their bodies are hardened to increase their lifespan. Depending on the type of work to be done, you can choose between drill bits of different diameters, ranging from 3 to 25 mm.
