Strong Family Picture

Hi! We're the Strong Family - Ann, Joseph and JJ. We've been working on cars and DIY'ing since we can remember. So, back in 1983, when a shattered grinding wheel nearly caused serious injury while we were working on our Bluebird Bus, we decided to come up with a tool that was safer, stronger, better. That first tool has lead to a whole line of 'em and for three generations now our family-owned company has been making specialty cutting and drilling tools that tradesmen and DIYers alike can count on - all backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.

Why Bad Dog Multipurpose Bits Are Built to Last

When we say Bad Dog Multipurpose Bits, we don’t mean nothing can ever wear them down.

We mean this:

They are built to outlast standard drill bits in real jobsite conditions and when they’re used the way they’re intended, they perform at a level most ordinary bits can’t match.

But we also know something important: No drill bit lasts forever.

That’s exactly why we back ours with something stronger than a claim.

Lifetime Guarantee

If your Bad Dog Multipurpose Bit breaks or fails under normal use, we’ll replace it.

No hassle. No complicated process. No runaround.

Because we believe that if a tool is built right, you shouldn’t have to worry about it failing; it should simply perform as expected, every time.

Why We Can Make This Promise

We’ve tested these bits in real conditions, not just lab settings:

  • Steel
  • Concrete
  • Masonry
  • Heavy-duty jobsite use

And we’ve seen them outperform standard drill bits again and again.

You can also see real-world tests and demonstrations from builders and creators using Bad Dog Multipurpose Bits on TikTok and other platforms. That’s not marketing; that’s real use in real environments.

Backed by How People Actually Use It

Most of what we learn doesn’t come from a lab, it comes from real users in the field. Contractors on job sites, small workshop builders, creators testing tools on video, and everyday users pushing products harder than expected all provide the feedback that truly shapes how we understand performance.

What You Should Expect

This isn’t a “never break” tool, it's built for real-world use. It’s designed to last longer than what you’re used to, reduce how often you need replacements, and stay reliable under heavy, repeated use. It performs consistently across tough materials, even in demanding conditions. And if it doesn’t hold up the way it should under normal use, we replace it.

Bad Dog Multipurpose Drill Bits FAQs 

Q: Are Bad Dog Multipurpose Bits really unbreakable?
A: No. They are designed for high durability and long life under normal conditions.

Q: What materials can they drill through?
A: Steel, stainless steel, concrete, masonry, and other common construction materials depending on bit type.

Q: What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
A: It covers breakage or failure under normal use conditions, and includes free replacement.

Q: What drill bit types do you offer?
A: We offer different Bad Dog Multipurpose Bits depending on the job:

    • Sheet Metal Series: HSS and Cobalt drill bits
  • Multipurpose Series: SDS, Cobalt, and Carbide drill bits
    Each type is designed for specific materials and drilling conditions.

Q: What is the Sheet Metal Series used for?
A: The Sheet Metal Series is designed for metalworking and fabrication. It includes:

  • HSS bits for general metal, wood, and light-duty drilling
  • Cobalt bits for stainless steel, hardened steel, and high-heat applications

Q: What is the Multipurpose Series used for?
A: The Multipurpose Series is built for flexibility across different materials. It includes:

  • SDS bits for heavy-duty masonry and concrete drilling
  • Cobalt bits for tough metals and mixed-use applications
  • Carbide bits for hard and abrasive materials like concrete, brick, and stone

Q: When should I use HSS vs Cobalt bits?

A: HSS is best for lighter-duty drilling such as mild steel and general materials. Cobalt is designed for harder metals and performs better under high heat and heavy use.

Q: When should I use SDS, Cobalt, or Carbide in the Multipurpose range?
A:

  • SDS: Best for concrete and heavy masonry work
  • Cobalt: Best for metal drilling where strength and heat resistance are needed
  • Carbide: Best for hard, abrasive materials like brick, block, and stone 

Q: How do I choose the right Bad Dog Multipurpose Bit?
A: Choose based on your main material:

  • Metal-focused work → Sheet Metal Series (HSS or Cobalt)
  • Mixed construction work → Multipurpose Series (SDS, Cobalt, Carbide)

Each bit is designed to match real jobsite conditions so you can work longer with fewer replacements.
