VACDRILL accessories and consumables
Two consumables matter more than the rest: the bit and the pad.
Drill bits
SDS bits up to 40 mm diameter and 200 mm length. Diameter is dictated by the anchor specification — see choosing drill bits.
Sealing pads
The pad is a genuine consumable. Cuts, embedded grit and hardening all cost holding force, and the decline is gradual enough to go unnoticed — see the seal.
Batteries
20 V 6 Ah lithium-ion and 20 V 5.0 Ah lithium-ion packs are referenced in GRABO documentation. Carry a spare: the pump draws whenever the tool is attached.
Dust extraction
The dust port takes an extractor hose. Use an extractor of the correct class — see extractor classes.
Sourcing
Confirm part numbers and compatibility with GRABO or an authorised reseller — see where to buy.
Questions about this
Which consumables matter most?
The drill bit and the sealing pad. Both degrade gradually, and both directly affect whether the tool performs as specified.
Can I use third-party SDS bits?
The tool takes standard SDS tooling within its diameter and length limits. Bit quality varies widely, and worn or poor carbide produces oversized holes and more dust.
