Small Hole. Clean Cut. Get It Done.

 

The 12mm Needle D's Diamond Drill Bit is built for fast, precise holes through porcelain, ceramic and stone using a standard drill or impact driver.

The 1/4" hex shank makes it quick to chuck up, while the diamond cutting edge handles the hard materials standard drill bits weren't made for.

Perfect for anchors, fixtures, accessories and those everyday holes tile installers drill constantly.
