These new light blue drill bits work in your standard ½” chuck hammer drill. I have been a fan of the Bosch Blue Granite bits which has a similar carbide tip and are great for going through not only concrete but also masonry, stone, tile and other similar materials. The new Bosch Multi-Construction Bits go even further, in addition to concrete, masonry, stone & tile the new bits also go through metal, plastic, wood and even glass! Basically all the materials you might want to drill it can handle it. Ideal for say attaching a wood stud to concrete, pre-drill a hole into both at once without switching the tool or bits, big time saver.
The Multi-Construction bit also steals some technology from the Bosch Tile & Glass Bits and will make perfect holes in ceramic tile or glass. The bits work in both rotary or hammer mode depending on the material you are going into. It might get ugly if you are in hammer mode when you try going into glass for the first time so make sure you check your tool.

One Bit Does it All – Bosch Multi-Construction Bit
Tackles tile, masonry, concrete, wood, plastic and metal
Mount Prospect, Ill., February 3, 2009 – Specialty bits are great for repetitive drilling in the same type of material, but when it’s necessary to drill through multiple materials, there is one bit that doesn’t compromise quality, the Bosch Multi-Construction Bit.
Suitable for wood, masonry, ceramic tiles, plastic and metal, the Bosch Multi-Construction Bit is designed to deliver high drilling performance regardless of the material. Bosch is able to do because of its diamond ground tungsten carbide tip with a distinctive geometry.
The bit features a steep spiral flute that quickly removes debris and provides the traction needed when encountering different materials. This also allows the bit to work faster than conventional multi-purpose drill bits.
Unique to Bosch, this bit features a softened shank for better gripping power and acts as a slip clutch if the drill binds.
Suitable for use in both rotary and impact modes, the Bosch Multi-Construction bit doesn’t dull as quickly as other multi-construction bits, which delivers better performance and longer bit life.
