Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts result in longer bit life
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body ensures hammering quality and extended service life
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, drilling speed, reduces drill bit wear and improves resistance to bending forces
• Drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15
• Chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed
• Solid-tip carbide drill bit construction for superior penetration and longevity
• SDS-plus shank for secure, tool-free bit changes on compatible rotary hammer drills
• Overall size: 1/2 in. x 12-1/4 in. with a 10 in. drilling depth

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shank does the MDPL05012S use, and which tools is it compatible with?

The MDPL05012S features an SDS-plus shank, which is a standard connection type compatible with SDS-plus rotary hammer drills from a wide range of manufacturers.

What is the drilling depth and overall length of this drill bit?

This drill bit has an overall length of 12-1/4 in. and provides a maximum drilling depth of 10 in., giving it extra reach for deep anchor and fastener applications in concrete and masonry.

How does the solid-tip carbide design benefit drilling performance?

The solid-tip carbide head is chisel-shaped to penetrate material efficiently while directing concrete dust into the high-volume, multi-flute spiral. This design quickly channels debris out of the hole, improving drilling speed and reducing wear on the bit.

What quality standards does this drill bit meet?

The MDPL05012S conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15 and is manufactured to the highest industry standards. Its chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body undergoes heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish to increase surface hardness, reduce wear, and improve resistance to bending forces.
