What is PGM

The PGM® mark (Prüfgemeinschaft Mauerbohrer) is a German certification mark found on masonry and SDS drill bits around the world.

The PGM certification board sets out strict guidelines that drill bits and manufacturers must adhere and comply to receive the stamp of certification.

This ensures that the drill bit geometry is correct to form a perfect hole for fixing. When using a non-PGM certified drill bit, the hole may not be perfect and may be irregular in shape and size, resulting in the fixing that is used in the hole, failing at some point (even if it seems like the fixing fits).

All our PGM approved SDS drill bits bear the PGM mark with the exception of the drill bits with a diameter of 6.5mm
