Key Features

• Uniformly Brazed Carbide Inserts - Precise, consistent brazing results in longer bit life and reliable performance throughout the bit's service life.
• Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum Steel Alloy Body - This high-grade steel alloy ensures superior hammering quality and extended service life under demanding jobsite conditions.
• Heat-Treated & Shot-Peened Finish - Advanced heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened surface finish increase surface hardness, boost drilling speed, reduce bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces.
• ANSI Standard B212.15 Compliant - Drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15, ensuring adherence to rigorous dimensional and performance tolerances.
• Chisel-Shaped Drill-Bit Head - The chisel-shaped tip efficiently penetrates material and actively directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral for cleaner, faster drilling.
• High-Volume Multi-Flute Spiral - The multi-flute spiral design quickly channels concrete dust away from the hole, improving drilling speed and reducing clogging.
• Solid-Tip Carbide Construction - Solid-tip carbide design provides aggressive material penetration and consistent performance in concrete and masonry.
• SDS-Plus Shank - Compatible with SDS-Plus rotary hammers for secure, tool-free bit changes and optimal power transfer.
• Made in Germany - Manufactured to the highest industry standards for Simpson Strong-Tie.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of drill is this bit compatible with?

This bit features an SDS-Plus shank, making it compatible with SDS-Plus rotary hammers. The SDS-Plus shank design allows for secure, tool-free bit changes and optimal power transfer during use.

What is the drilling depth of this bit, and how does that differ from its overall length?

The bit has an overall length of 12 inches and a maximum drilling depth of 10 inches. The difference accounts for the portion of the bit that remains within the drill chuck during operation.

What materials is this drill bit designed to bore through?

This bit is designed for use in concrete and masonry applications. The solid-tip carbide construction provides aggressive material penetration, while the chisel-shaped head efficiently penetrates material and directs concrete dust into the high-volume multi-flute spiral to keep the hole clear during drilling.

What standards and material quality does this drill bit meet?

This drill bit conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15, ensuring adherence to rigorous dimensional and performance tolerances. The body is constructed from a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy, and the carbide inserts are uniformly brazed for consistent performance and longer bit life. Heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish further increase surface hardness and resistance to bending forces.
