Frequently Asked Questions

What type of drill is the MCSDP compatible with?

The MCSDP is designed specifically for use with SDS-plus style drills. It features an SDS-Plus shank type that provides a secure, positive-locking fit in compatible drills.

Which rebar cutters work with the MCSDP shank adapter?

The MCSDP is designed to pair with all sizes of Simpson rebar cutters, offering broad versatility across job sites. It functions as part of a two-piece system in which the shank adapter and rebar cutter work together as a unit.

In what mode must the MCSDP be operated?

The MCSDP must be used in rotation-mode only. This ensures controlled and accurate cutting performance when drilling through embedded rebar in concrete and masonry applications.

Why use a two-piece shank-and-cutter system instead of drilling directly with a carbide bit?

The two-piece system design of the MCSDP is specifically intended to protect carbide drill bits from potential damage when encountering embedded rebar. By using the rebar cutter attachment in place of a carbide bit, the system provides an economical solution that extends the life of your drill bits.
