Stop Unwanted Dust from Halting Your Jobsite

Stop me if this sounds like you: while drilling into concrete, dust forms up in your face making it hard to see/breathe. Not quite your situation? Okay, what about this: you need to fill a hole with adhesive, but so much dust has fallen back into the hole that you now have to jam a shop vac down the hole.

No matter the scenario, concrete dust can be a pain to deal with on the jobsite. Ensuring dust is managed properly is a great way to keep a jobsite on schedule. But how does one do that?

Lay Down Water or Mulch

Depending on the size and location of your application, laying down a layer of mulch or watering the surface can help to prevent dust from accumulating. This option is not only effective, but also inexpensive for outdoor applications.

However, for indoor applications you’ll make more mess than create a helpful escape for dust by using this method. For indoor applications, utilizing a tool that can help remove the dust while drilling is the best option.

Utilizing Dustless Drill Bits

Now a days innovation in the industry has seen tools become more and more advanced. This is no different for drill bits. Dustless drill bits have a hose attachment that connect to a compatible shop vac to collect dust while drilling.

Both our SDS-MAX and SDS-Plus dustless drill bits will remove up to 98% of drill dust immediately while drilling – increasing your productivity by eliminating the need to blow and brush holes.
