The Diablo 3/16" x 16" x 18" SDS-Plus 2-Cutter Carbide-Tipped Hammer Drill Bit is engineered to deliver one of the fastest and longest-lasting drilling solutions available for concrete and masonry applications. Designed for use with corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills, this 18" overall length bit features a 16" working length and a 3/16" diameter - ideal for setting common-sized anchors in concrete and brick or block surfaces. Made in Germany, the DMAPL2080 combines Diablo's advanced carbide formulation with a precision tip geometry that keeps productivity high and downtime low on demanding jobsites.

Key Features

• Diablo Dura-Carbide construction withstands impact and high-heat drilling conditions - dramatically extending service life compared to standard hammer bits, reducing the need for frequent bit replacement
• Peak Point Tip design enables aggressive starts into concrete and masonry - producing clean, fast holes with less wandering and more accurate anchor placement
• Optimized brazing and hardening process locks carbide tips securely and increases tip longevity - translating to more holes per bit and greater overall productivity on the job
• Four-flute design removes dust from the hole faster - keeping carbide tips cooler during extended drilling sessions for sustained strength and durability
• SDS-Plus shank - compatible with all corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills, giving users maximum flexibility across tool brands and power sources
• 16" working length with 3/16" diameter - reaches deep into concrete walls or slabs for anchor installation without requiring extensions

Why This Product

• The Dura-Carbide tip material and optimized brazing process work together to resist the wear and heat that quickly degrade ordinary hammer bits - meaning fewer bit changes and lower cost per hole when drilling concrete or block
• The Peak Point Tip geometry allows the bit to start cutting immediately on contact with concrete or brick surfaces, reducing skipping and improving hole accuracy for anchor and fastener installation
• The four-flute flute design actively clears debris from the bore during drilling, which prevents overheating and keeps the cutting edge performing at full capacity throughout the bit's life
• With an 18" overall length and 16" working length in a compact 3/16" diameter, this bit is well suited for deep anchor holes in concrete and masonry where reach and precision both matter

Frequently Asked Questions

What rotary hammer tools is this bit compatible with?

This bit is optimized for maximum performance in both corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills. The SDS-Plus shank provides a secure, tool-free bit change and is a widely used standard across many rotary hammer brands and models.

What materials can this hammer drill bit drill through?

The DMAPL2080 is designed for drilling concrete and brick or block. The Dura-Carbide tip and Peak Point geometry are specifically suited for these hard masonry materials, producing clean, accurate holes for anchor installation.

What is the difference between the overall length and the working length?

The overall length of this bit is 18", which includes the SDS-Plus shank that seats into the rotary hammer. The working length - the portion of the bit that actively drills into the material - is 16". This extended working length allows for deep anchor holes without requiring a separate bit extension.

How does the four-flute design benefit drilling performance?

The optimized four-flute design removes dust and debris from the hole faster than fewer-flute designs. Faster debris removal keeps the carbide tips cooler during drilling, which preserves tip integrity, reduces wear, and helps the bit maintain its cutting speed and accuracy over a longer service life.
