Rebar hits are always a risk. But too many can slow down your daily work. To minimize time-loss and frustration, the right drilling system is important, meaning a performant tool with a perfectly matched drill bit. Using our tools with a TE-CX drill bit, you can maintain your productivity and save money with less wear and tear on the drill bits. Make rebar hits one thing less to worry about on your jobsite!

When drilling through rebar:

  • Use the right drilling system (either our TE combihammers or rotary hammers or diamond drilling systems)
  • Don't apply too much or too little pressure on the tool
  • Avoid drilling for longer periods without letting the drill bit cool down
  • For maximum productivity with rebar, always use a new drill bit
  • Check structural damages with your engineer when rebar hits occur
