The Simpson SDS-Plus Drill Bit 7/32 in. x 16 in. 2-Cutter Carbide-Tipped is a premium-quality, professional-grade rotary hammer bit engineered by Simpson to handle demanding concrete and masonry drilling tasks with speed, precision, and lasting durability. Built to precise tolerance requirements and conforming to ANSI Standard B212.15, this hardened steel bit pairs a 2-Cutter carbide-tipped head with an SDS-plus shank to deliver reliable performance in anchor installation, fastener setting, and deep-hole drilling applications.

Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts - bond the tip material securely to the body, reducing insert failure and extending bit life across high-cycle drilling jobs
• Centering tip design - helps the bit find its mark quickly at the start of each hole, reducing walking and improving placement accuracy without a pilot hole
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body - provides the toughness needed to withstand repeated hammering forces, translating to a longer service life even under heavy professional use
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish - increase surface hardness and resistance to bending forces while reducing drill bit wear, so the bit stays sharper longer and drills faster hole after hole
• Chisel-shaped 2-Cutter drill-bit head - penetrates concrete and masonry efficiently and directs concrete dust directly into the flute spiral, keeping the cutting zone clear for consistent drilling speed
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral - quickly channels concrete dust out of the hole as you drill, preventing clogging and maintaining drilling speed through the full depth of the bore
• Conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15 - ensures the bit meets established industry tolerance and quality benchmarks, giving contractors confidence in consistent, repeatable results
• SDS-plus shank - locks securely into SDS-plus rotary hammer tools for quick bit changes and positive energy transfer from hammer to tip, maximizing drilling efficiency

Why This Product

• German-manufactured quality you can feel in the field - produced to the highest industry standards with proprietary heat-treatment and shot-peened finishing processes, this bit is built to perform consistently on professional job sites where downtime is costly
• Engineered for deep anchor and fastener work - with a 14 in. drilling depth and 16 in. overall length on a 7/32 in. diameter, this bit reaches depths required for long anchor rods and deep fastener installations that shorter bits simply cannot access
• Dust-clearing design reduces rework - the combination of the chisel-shaped cutting head and high-volume multi-flute spiral actively evacuates concrete dust throughout the drilling cycle, helping you achieve clean, accurate holes that meet anchor installation requirements the first time
• Built for the long haul on demanding projects - the chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy body, uniformly brazed carbide inserts, and surface-hardening treatments work together to resist wear and bending forces, so this bit delivers more holes per bit and a lower cost per hole over time
