30 years of performance

Celebrate three decades of TE-CX with us!

One drill bit. Decades of innovation.

From our very first breakthrough to today’s cutting-edge technology, the evolution of TE-CX has been driven by one thing: you!

For 30 years, we’ve been innovating our TE-CX drill bits to help you work smarter, faster and better.

Here's a look at the milestones that have shaped our journey.

A breakthrough that changed it all

Introduction of the world’s first SDS Plus drill bit with a fully welded carbide head and cold roll-formed helix, raising the bar for durability and helping you drill faster and longer with fewer bit changes.

Power meets precision

Another world first: the launch of the SDS Max concrete drill bit with a 4-cutter solid carbide head and warm-formed helix, giving you unmatched impact strength and reliability in concrete. With precision brazing and hardening, the bit worked harder, so you didn’t have to.

Award-winning tech for smooth drilling

We pushed performance further with gradient hardmetal and a 4-flute helix, delivering smoother drilling and longer life. That breakthrough earned top international awards, but more importantly, it earned your trust on the job.

Drilling and cleaning, done in one

Our hollow drill bit system changed the game in 2012, letting you drill and clean in a single step - virtually dust-free. Safer, faster and fully approved for setting anchors, it was a world-first and has now become the go-to for clean jobsites.

One bit, one tool, one step

Introduction of the world’s first 6-cutter drill bit alongside our automated setting tool, allowing you to drill and set anchors in one motion. It redefined productivity, helping you save time on every hole.

A new era of advanced welding tech

Our latest generation of SDS Plus drill bits brings resistance welding, a full carbide head and a refined 4-flute helix together for our most durable, high-performing bit yet. It's built to take on more for longer.
