Frequently Asked Questions

What type of rotary hammer is this drill bit compatible with?

This drill bit features an SDS-plus shank, which is the industry-standard connection type compatible with SDS-plus rotary hammer tools from a wide range of professional tool manufacturers. The SDS-plus interface provides a secure, tool-free bit change and positive chuck engagement during operation.

What is the maximum drilling depth this bit can achieve?

The Simpson MDPL02516 provides a maximum drilling depth of 14 in., with an overall bit length of 16 in. The additional length beyond the drilling depth accommodates the chuck engagement and allows for proper positioning of the tool during use.

What materials and processes give this bit its extended service life?

This bit is constructed with a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body that ensures superior hammering quality and extended service life. Uniformly brazed carbide inserts provide consistent cutting performance, while heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, reduce wear, and improve resistance to bending forces.

Does this drill bit meet any industry standards for quality and dimensional accuracy?

Yes. Simpson Strong-Tie MDPL02516 drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15, ensuring they meet precise tolerance requirements for diameter and dimensional accuracy. This compliance guarantees consistent, reliable performance when used for anchoring and fastening applications that require exact hole sizing.
