Longer bits for Uneo

Huge

Well-known member
I've been trying to find bits, to use with a Bosch Uneo, for capping. The longest I can find will drill a hole about 75mm deep, fine for bolting but too short for capping.  Something with a flute(?) length of 120-150mm would be good.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy longer masonry bits, with either SDS Quick or 1/4 inch hex shanks please.

Cheers.
 
Wow, two days and not a single reply!

I'll have to assume that longer bits are not available and that no one uses a Uneo for capping.  :shrug:
 
Thanks Rob. I found those and bought a couple of the longest 8 and 10mm bits for bolting, as they are a very good price for original Bosch items. Unfortunately, the 120mm refers to the total length of the bits including the shank. The maximum drilling depth is 75mm. Unless I'm missing something?

Sorry - I misread the details of your requirements.

Adaptors between systems?
 
Heller do them. I'm not clever enough to do one of those clicky things, but I Googled "Heller long 10mm SDS drill bits" and quickly found them in lengths 160, 210 & 310mm.


 
I bought a 450mm 14mm dia SDS bit yesterday from Screwfix for ?6.99 - used it today in fact. I normally get Heller bits from Machine Mart as they're incredibly cheap, but for some bizarre reason they never have 14mm in stock. As I remember, they only do a short one of those anyway. But Machine Mart definitely had long bits in 8, 10, 12 and 16mm, and cheaper than Screwfix. I think the 8mm ones were ?3.99.
 
Sorry but I can't see any SDS Quick or 1/4 Hex bits from those links, sites or google searches. The Uneo is not compatible with SDS Plus, SDS Max or ordinary round shanked bits.

I found this quote about the old Uneo by Jams from January 17th 2010 :-

"I run it off 14.8v lipo cells, works fine. Although i have kept the batteries in, for the off chance im just putting only a few bolts in. Ive used it for 8mm and 10mm anchors and it works fine. Bolting is all its good for, due to the lack of longer drill bits".

Looks like they're not available so unless anyone can tell me different, I think I'll give up looking.

Thanks for your efforts guys.
