Price Ranges for Hammer Drill Bits

Hammer drill bits come in various types, sizes, and materials, affecting their price. Here’s a general breakdown of typical price ranges based on different categories:

  1. Material Type:

    • High-Speed Steel (HSS):
      • Prices typically range from $5 to $15 per bit.
    • Carbide-Tipped:
      • Prices generally range from $10 to $30 per bit.
    • Masonry Bits:
      • Usually priced between $10 and $40, depending on the size and brand.
    • Diamond Bits (for specialized applications):
      • These can range from $20 to over $100, depending on quality and intended use.
  2. Set vs. Individual Bits:

    • Individual Bits: Usually cost between $5 and $40 depending on type and quality.
    • Sets: Prices can range from $20 for a small set (e.g., 3-5 bits) to $100 or more for a comprehensive set including various types and sizes.
  3. Brand and Quality:

    • Leading brands (e.g., Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Hilti) may charge a premium, so their bits could range from $10 to $50 or more for individual bits, with sets often exceeding $100.
  4. Special Features:

    • Bits designed for specific applications (like SDS Plus or SDS Max bits for heavier duty work) can also influence prices, ranging from $15 to $70 for individual bits.
  5. Sizes:

    • Smaller bits (around 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch) tend to be less expensive than larger bits (1/2 inch and larger), which can cost significantly more due to increased material and manufacturing complexity.

Summary

  • Basic HSS Bits: $5 - $15
  • Carbide-Tipped/Masonry: $10 - $40
  • Higher-End/Professional Bits: $20 - $100+
  • Quality Brands: $10 - $50 or more per bit
