Key Features

• Longer Bit Life: Uniformly brazed carbide inserts result in longer bit life, maintaining cutting performance through demanding drilling applications.
• Easy Spot Drilling: Features a centering tip that facilitates easy spot drilling, improving accuracy and reducing walking on hard surfaces.
• Premium Alloy Body: Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body ensures hammering quality and extended service life under repeated rotary hammer use.
• Enhanced Surface Hardness: Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, drilling speed, reduce drill bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces.
• ANSI Compliant: Drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15, ensuring dimensional precision and interoperability with SDS-plus rotary hammers.
• Efficient Dust Evacuation: Chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral for cleaner, faster drilling.
• High-Volume Multi-Flute Spiral: High-volume, multi-flute spiral quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed and reduce clogging.
• SDS-plus Shank: Designed for compatibility with SDS-plus rotary hammers, providing secure tool-free bit changes and efficient hammer energy transfer.
