Key Features

• Uniformly Brazed Carbide Inserts: Consistent brazing across the carbide tip results in longer bit life and more predictable performance over extended use.
• Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum Steel Alloy Body: This high-performance steel alloy ensures superior hammering quality and extended service life under demanding conditions.
• Heat-Treatment & Shot-Peened Finish: Advanced heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, boost drilling speed, reduce drill bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces.
• ANSI Standard B212.15 Compliant: Drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15, ensuring dimensional accuracy and interoperability with standard SDS-plus rotary hammer tools.
• Chisel-Shaped Drill-Bit Head: The chisel-shaped head penetrates material efficiently and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral for cleaner, faster drilling.
• High-Volume Multi-Flute Spiral: Quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed and reduce clogging during operation.
• Solid-Tip Carbide Construction: Provides a robust, solid-tip carbide cutting surface optimized for use in concrete and masonry.
• SDS-Plus Shank: Compatible with the standard SDS-plus interface found on a wide range of professional rotary hammer tools.
