The Simpson SDS-Plus Solid-Tip Carbide Drill Bit 9/16 in. x 6 in. is a professional-grade rotary hammer bit engineered for demanding concrete and masonry drilling applications. Built to precise tolerances and incorporating proprietary design features, this bit delivers enhanced durability, faster drilling speeds, and consistent performance job after job - making it a dependable choice for contractors and tradespeople who require reliable results in tough materials.

Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts - secure, consistent bonding along the tip extends bit life and maintains cutting integrity through repeated use
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body - a premium alloy construction absorbs hammering forces effectively and supports an extended service life under heavy-duty conditions
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish - increase surface hardness and drilling speed, reduce bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces so the bit holds up longer on the job
• Chisel-shaped drill-bit head - penetrates material aggressively and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral, keeping the cutting zone clear for faster progress
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral - quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed and reduce the need for frequent bit withdrawal
• Solid-tip carbide construction - provides reliable, consistent cutting performance in concrete and masonry without sacrificing precision
• SDS-plus shank - enables secure, tool-free bit changes and efficient energy transfer with compatible rotary hammer tools
• Conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15 - meets recognized industry dimensional standards, ensuring predictable fit and performance across compliant tooling

Why This Product

• Professional-grade quality backed by Simpson - these bits are manufactured to the highest industry standards for Simpson, incorporating proprietary features that enhance durability and drilling speed beyond what basic carbide bits typically offer
• Engineered for speed and longevity in concrete - the combination of a chisel-shaped head, high-volume multi-flute spiral, and uniformly brazed carbide inserts works together to clear debris efficiently, cut faster, and resist premature wear in masonry applications
• Premium alloy steel body with surface-hardening treatment - the chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel core paired with heat-treatment and shot-peened finish means the bit resists bending forces and maintains structural integrity through extended, repeated hammering use
• Standardized for reliable compatibility - the SDS-plus shank and ANSI Standard B212.15 compliance give professionals confidence that this bit will seat correctly and perform consistently with their existing SDS-plus rotary hammer equipment
