The Simpson SDS-Plus Shank for Rebar and Plate Cutters is a shank adapter engineered to connect all sizes of Simpson rebar cutters and plate cutters to SDS-plus style drills, forming a reliable two-piece cutting system for demanding concrete and construction applications. Designed for rotation-mode operation, this adapter gives contractors and tradespeople a controlled, practical method for cutting through embedded rebar without putting carbide drill bits at risk.

Key Features

• SDS-Plus Shank Type - Delivers a secure, positive-locking fit in SDS-plus style drills, keeping the adapter firmly seated during demanding rotation-mode cutting tasks.
• Universal Rebar and Plate Cutter Compatibility - Pairs with all sizes of Simpson rebar cutters and plate cutters, so one shank adapter covers a wide range of cutting applications across different job sites.
• Two-Piece System Design - The shank adapter and rebar cutter work together as a coordinated unit, providing an economical alternative to dedicated cutting tools while protecting carbide drill bits from rebar damage.
• Rotation-Mode Operation - Engineered specifically for rotation-mode use, giving operators consistent, controlled performance when cutting through embedded rebar in concrete structures.
• Broad Application Range - Suited for construction, renovation, and demolition projects that require cutting embedded rebar, and compatible with a variety of rotohammers and hammer drills equipped with SDS-plus chucks.

Why This Product

• Protects Costly Drill Bits - By handling the rebar cutting work as a dedicated adapter, this system keeps carbide drill bits out of contact with embedded steel, reducing tool wear and replacement costs on the job site.
• One Adapter, Many Cutters - Compatibility with all sizes of Simpson rebar cutters and plate cutters means this single shank adapter serves multiple tools, adding practical versatility without requiring duplicate equipment.
• Fits the Drills Already on Your Job Site - Designed for SDS-plus style drills, which are among the most widely used rotohammers and hammer drills in construction, so crews can put this adapter to work without sourcing specialty equipment.
• Streamlined Two-Piece Solution - The paired shank-and-cutter approach simplifies setup, keeps the system straightforward to use in the field, and offers a cost-effective way to address embedded rebar cutting on concrete and masonry projects.

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.
