Simpson 3/16" x 10" 2-Cutter Head SDS-Plus Drill Bit with Carbide Tip is a premium, professional-grade rotary hammer drill bit engineered for precise, high-speed drilling in concrete, masonry, and hard substrate applications. Built to the highest industry standards with a hardened steel body and carbide tip, this SDS-plus shank bit delivers the durability and accuracy that demanding installation work requires - giving tradespeople a reliable tool that holds tight tolerances and minimizes bit walk or premature wear.

Key Features

• 2-Cutter Head design - delivers efficient material removal and faster penetration rates through concrete and masonry, reducing drilling time on the job
• Carbide-tipped cutting head - provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending bit life even in abrasive aggregate and reinforced concrete conditions
• SDS-plus shank - locks securely into any SDS-plus compatible rotary hammer, enabling tool-free bit changes and efficient hammer energy transfer for faster drilling with less operator fatigue
• 3/16" diameter - sized for anchor and fastener installation holes that require precise dimensional tolerances, ensuring proper fit and holding strength
• 10" overall length with 8" drilling depth - provides the reach needed to achieve full embedment depth in thick concrete slabs, block walls, and other structural substrates without requiring extension accessories
• Hardened steel body - resists bending and stress fracture under rotary hammer impact loads, maintaining bit straightness and drilling accuracy over extended use
• Manufactured to precise tolerance requirements - ensures consistent hole diameter from bit to bit, which is critical when drilling for anchors and fasteners that depend on snug hole engagement
• Proprietary features enhancing durability and drilling speed - means less time per hole and longer service life, lowering cost-per-hole for high-volume drilling tasks

Why This Product

• Professional-grade quality for critical anchor applications - this carbide-tipped SDS-plus bit is engineered to meet precise tolerance requirements, making it a dependable choice when hole diameter directly affects anchor performance and load ratings
• Broad rotary hammer compatibility - the SDS-plus shank fits all current and older SDS-plus rotohammers from AEG, Black & Decker, Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi, Hilti, Kango, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Ramset, Red Head, Ryobi, and Skil, so it works with equipment already on site
• 8" drilling depth in a 10" package - the generous drilling depth relative to overall length allows full embedment of anchors in thick structural concrete without leaving excessive bit exposed, keeping drilling stable and controlled
• Part of a complete drilling and demolition system - Simpson Strong-Tie offers matching core bits and chisels, so contractors can source all rotary hammer tooling from a single trusted platform and maintain consistent quality across the job

Frequently Asked Questions

What rotary hammers are compatible with this SDS-plus drill bit?

This bit uses an SDS-plus shank, which is compatible with all current and older SDS-plus rotohammers from AEG, Black & Decker, Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi, Hilti, Kango, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Ramset, Red Head, Ryobi, and Skil. If your rotary hammer accepts SDS-plus tooling, this bit will seat and lock correctly without any adapters.

What is the difference between the drilling depth and the overall length?

The overall length of this bit is 10 inches, while the usable drilling depth is 8 inches. The remaining length accounts for the SDS-plus shank that seats inside the rotary hammer chuck. When planning anchor embedment depth, use the 8" drilling depth figure to determine whether the bit will reach the required hole depth in your substrate.

What makes the 2-Cutter Head design beneficial compared to other head configurations?

The 2-Cutter Head geometry is designed to efficiently remove material during drilling, contributing to faster penetration and reduced heat buildup at the tip. Simpson Strong-Tie also offers Regular and Quad Head bit tip configurations, so the 2-cutter design represents one option within a broader product line suited to different drilling conditions and speed requirements.

What types of applications is this 3/16" SDS-plus carbide bit best suited for?

This bit is designed for drilling precise, consistent holes in concrete and masonry - particularly for anchor and fastener installation where tight dimensional tolerances matter. The 3/16" diameter and 8" drilling depth make it appropriate for applications requiring anchors or fasteners to be set at full embedment depth in structural concrete slabs, block walls, and similar hard substrates.
