The Diablo 1" x 16" x 18" SDS-Plus 2-Cutter Carbide-Tipped Hammer Drill Bit delivers one of the fastest and longest lasting drilling solutions available for concrete and masonry applications. Engineered in Germany, this Diablo bit combines a precision-ground Peak Point tip with Dura-Carbide construction to produce clean, accurate anchor holes with aggressive starts - making it a reliable choice for contractors and tradespeople working with corded or cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammers on demanding job sites.

Key Features

• Diablo Dura-Carbide construction withstands impact and high heat - dramatically extending working life compared to standard carbide-tipped hammer bits, reducing replacement frequency and downtime
• Peak Point tip design enables aggressive starts that produce clean, fast holes - ideal for setting common-sized anchors in concrete and block with minimal effort and rework
• Optimized brazing and hardening process secures and strengthens the carbide tips - increasing productivity by maintaining cutting performance over a longer service life
• Optimized four-flute design removes dust faster from the bore - keeping carbide tips cooler during drilling for ultimate strength, durability, and sustained cutting speed
• SDS-Plus shank with 2-cutter head - compatible with both corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills for maximum flexibility on the job site

Why This Product

• For professionals drilling anchor holes in concrete or brick, the Peak Point tip and Dura-Carbide material combination delivers fast, accurate results without the slow starts and premature tip wear common with standard hammer bits
• The four-flute dust evacuation design actively cools the cutting tip during use - reducing heat buildup that shortens bit life, so you spend less time swapping bits and more time drilling
• With a 16" working length on an 18" overall bit, this drill bit reaches deep anchor placements and through-hole applications that shorter bits simply cannot access in thick concrete or block walls
• Optimized for both corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammers, this bit integrates into existing tool setups without requiring specialized equipment or adapter hardware

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of rotary hammer is this bit compatible with?

This bit uses an SDS-Plus shank and is optimized for maximum performance in both corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills. It is not designed for standard drill drivers or SDS-Max hammers.

What is the difference between the overall length and the working length on this bit?

The overall bit length is 18", while the working length - the portion actively cutting and clearing material - is 16". The remaining length accounts for the SDS-Plus shank that seats into the hammer drill chuck.

What materials can this hammer drill bit cut through?

This bit is designed for drilling concrete and brick/block masonry. The 2-cutter carbide-tipped head and Dura-Carbide construction are optimized specifically for these hard masonry substrates.

What makes the four-flute design beneficial for drilling performance?

The optimized four-flute design removes dust from the hole faster than fewer-flute designs, which keeps the carbide tips cooler during extended use. Cooler tips maintain their hardness and cutting edge longer, resulting in better durability and sustained drilling speed over the life of the bit.
