The Simpson Strong-Tie 5/8 in. x 12 in. SDS-plus Shank Drill Bit is a premium-quality, professional-grade carbide-tipped rotary hammer bit engineered to meet precise tolerance requirements in concrete and masonry drilling applications. Built on a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body and featuring a 2-Cutter Head with SDS-plus shank, this bit incorporates proprietary design elements that enhance durability, drilling speed, and ease of use - making it a reliable choice for demanding installation work.

Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts - bond securely to the bit body to resist premature wear and extend service life across high-cycle drilling tasks
• Centering tip - facilitates easy spot drilling so you can position holes accurately without walking or slipping at the start
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body - provides the structural toughness needed to handle continuous hammer drilling while maintaining extended service life
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish - increase surface hardness, improve drilling speed, reduce bit wear, and strengthen resistance to bending forces during heavy-duty use
• Compliance with ANSI Standard B212.15 - confirms the bit meets verified dimensional and performance tolerances, giving professionals confidence in consistent, predictable results
• Chisel-shaped drill-bit head - penetrates concrete and masonry efficiently while directing concrete dust into the flute spiral to keep the cutting zone clear
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral - quickly channels concrete dust out of the hole to maintain drilling speed and reduce the friction and heat that cause premature bit failure

Why This Product

• Professional-grade durability built into every layer - from the carbide-tipped 2-Cutter Head to the heat-treated, shot-peened alloy body, every material and process choice is aimed at reducing downtime and replacement costs on the job site
• Engineered for faster, cleaner drilling in concrete - the chisel-shaped head and high-volume multi-flute spiral work together to clear dust continuously, so rotary hammer bits maintain cutting speed without clogging throughout the full 10 in. drilling depth
• Verified dimensional accuracy you can trust - conformance to ANSI Standard B212.15 means the 5/8 in. diameter holds tight tolerances, which matters when drilling for anchors, fasteners, or other installations where hole size directly affects holding strength
• Designed as part of a complete drilling system - Simpson Strong-Tie developed this SDS-plus bit alongside a full line of drill bits, core bits, and chisels, so contractors can match tools to application needs without mixing brands or compromising on quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shank does the MDPL06212 use, and which rotary hammers is it compatible with?

The MDPL06212 features an SDS-plus shank, which is a widely adopted industry-standard connection system compatible with SDS-plus rotary hammers and rotohammers.

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

This drill bit has a drilling depth of 10 in. and an overall length of 12 in., with a diameter of 5/8 in.

What makes this bit resistant to wear and bending during heavy use?

The bit's chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body, combined with heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish, increases surface hardness, reduces drill bit wear, improves drilling speed, and enhances resistance to bending forces for extended service life.

How does the drill bit manage concrete dust during drilling?

The chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the high-volume, multi-flute spiral, which quickly channels the dust out of the hole to improve drilling speed and efficiency.
