The Bosch Multi-Construction Drill Bit Set is designed to work with metal, masonry and wood without the need to change bits.
The bits are completely standard sized and will fit into any drill.
The Bosch Multi-Construction Drill Bit Set is supplied with the following sized bits:
- 1 x 4mm x 50mm (effective working length – 90mm)
- 2 x 5mm x 50mm (effective working length – 100mm)
- 2 x 6mm x 50mm (effective working length – 100mm)
- 1 x 8mm x 50mm (effective working length – 100mm)
- 1 x 10mm x 100mm (effective working length – 150mm)
As these drill bits are multipurpose these can be a real time saver given the right scenario. If you are drilling through plaster into a wooden baton, then directly into masonry then you don’t need to change bits at each step – one of these will do the trick.
The downside that we noticed, especially when drilling into wood is that the resulting hole isn’t as neat as when using a dedicated wood bit – the tip kept drifting until it found a good purchase in the material.
Unfortunately we managed to blunt one of the bits during our testing, but this was our own error rather than a fault with the drill bit set. We drilled into brick at very high speed and managed to overheat the bit causing it to rapidly blunt. When attempting the process at a lower speed the bit sailed through.
Drilling though all materials is slower than when using specialised bits, but this is to be expected given the multipurpose nature of the Bosch set.
Loading the bits is a breeze, the bits themselves are very high quality carbide and slip into the chuck fine with plenty of grip once tightened. We also didn’t notice any slipping of the bits regardless of the material drilled into.
The set is supplied in a plastic case, however its not a robust as we’d like and it might not stand up to too much punishment in the long run – so it may be worth investing in a small tool roll at the same time.
Overall the Bosch Multi-Construction Drill Bit Set is an ideal replacement for many of the cheaper drill sets you get bundled with many combi drills, especially for lighter interior work. In a professional environment, they act as a great “do anything” backup for a dedicated set of wood, masonry or metal – just don’t run them too hot or too fast.

Alternative Options
If you aren’t sure that the Bosch Multi-Construction Drill Bit Set is right for you, then Bosch have actually brought out another drill bit set which will give you even more options to choose from. The Bosch X Line Drill Bit Set comes with:
- 11 metal drill bits (for metal, plexiglass and hard plastics)
- 6 masonry drill bits (for masonry, natural stone, cast stone and sand lime bricks)
- 5 wood drill bits (for hardwood, softwood and plastic)
- 2 spade bits
- 18 screwdriver bits
The set also comes with universal holders, an organised case, 3 socket wrenches and a diameter gauge.
This drill bit set is perfect for if you need to complete a wide range of jobs around the home including general DIY such as putting up shelves or building furniture, but also bigger jobs like working on fencing or decking. Made from steel and with a titanium coating, you will be sure that you get a good quality finish on the jobs that you are completing whilst also helping to improve the life of your drill.
The set comes with enough drill bits that you can work with both larger and small holes, as well as working with a range of different materials. They are also compatible with most drills as well – so although it is recommended that you stick to a Bosch drill, it isn’t entirely necessary! Admittedly, there is probably always going to be one or two drill bits that you don’t actually find yourself needing – but we feel that the set is still good enough value to account for this.
If you are trying to choose a Bosch Drill to use – here are two of our favourites….the Bosch PSB 1800 and the Bosch GSB 120.
