Simpson Strong-Tie 1/2" x 6-1/4" 2-Cutter Head SDS-Plus Carbide Drill Bit is a premium, professional-grade rotary hammer bit engineered for precision concrete and masonry drilling. Built to the highest industry standards from hardened steel with a carbide-tipped 2-cutter head, this SDS-Plus bit delivers fast, accurate holes with a drilling depth of 4 inches - making it a reliable choice for anchoring, fastening, and structural drilling applications where tight tolerances matter.

Key Features

• Carbide-Tipped 2-Cutter Head - provides aggressive cutting action through concrete, masonry, and block, reducing bit walking and improving hole accuracy
• SDS-Plus Shank - locks securely into SDS-Plus rotary hammers for tool-free bit changes and positive power transfer without slippage during heavy drilling
• 1/2" Diameter with 4" Drilling Depth - sized to match standard anchor bolt and fastener requirements, letting installers drill to the correct embedment depth without guesswork
• 6-1/4" Overall Length - provides enough reach to clear fixtures, formwork, or surface obstructions while maintaining control and stability during operation
• Hardened Steel Construction with Carbide Tip - combines toughness and wear resistance to extend bit life even during repetitive, high-volume drilling tasks
• Proprietary Design Features - incorporate enhancements for durability, drilling speed, and ease of use, translating directly to faster job completion and reduced operator fatigue
• Manufactured to Precise Tolerance Requirements - ensures consistent hole diameter and depth, which is critical for code-compliant anchor and fastener installations

Why This Product

• Professional-grade quality from a trusted structural brand - Simpson Strong-Tie is a recognized name in structural connectors and fastening systems, and these drill bits are built to the same rigorous standards, giving contractors confidence on every jobsite.
• Engineered for precision anchor installations - the 1/2" diameter and 4" drilling depth align with common anchor embedment requirements, reducing the need for measuring stops or depth gauges on repetitive tasks.
• Compatible with a wide range of SDS-Plus rotary hammers - the standard SDS-Plus shank fits current and legacy rotary hammer models from major tool manufacturers, so there is no need to match a proprietary shank system.
• Designed to reduce downtime - proprietary features that enhance durability and drilling speed mean fewer bit replacements mid-job and more consistent performance over the life of the bit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of rotary hammer is this bit compatible with?

This bit features an SDS-Plus shank, which is the standard interface found on SDS-Plus rotary hammers from most major tool manufacturers. It is compatible with current and older SDS-Plus rotohammers from brands including AEG, Black and Decker, Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi, Hilti, Kango, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Ramset, Red Head, Ryobi, and Skil.

What materials can this carbide-tipped bit drill through?

The carbide-tipped 2-cutter head is designed for drilling into concrete, masonry, and similar hard substrates - applications where Simpson Strong-Tie anchor systems and structural fasteners are commonly installed.

What is the maximum drilling depth this bit achieves?

This bit provides a drilling depth of 4 inches. The 6-1/4" overall length allows for proper chuck engagement while still reaching the full 4" depth, even when drilling through surface materials or into recessed areas.

How does the 2-cutter head design benefit the user compared to a standard tip?

The 2-cutter head configuration is engineered to meet precise tolerance requirements and incorporates proprietary features that enhance durability and drilling speed while improving ease of use - resulting in cleaner, more consistent holes and less strain on the operator during extended drilling sessions.
