SDS Bits & Sets

SDS drill bits are designed for rotary hammer drills.  SDS Plus bits suit light demolition and masonry drilling, while SDS Max bits handle heavy duty concrete work.  Carbide tips withstand repeated impacts and high temperatures.

What are SDS bits used for?
SDS (Slotted Drive System) bits are designed for hammer drilling into hard materials such as concrete, brick, and masonry. They’re used with SDS-compatible rotary hammers and combi drills, offering efficient chiselling and drilling in construction, electrical, plumbing, and renovation work.

What’s the difference between SDS, SDS-Plus, and SDS-Max?

  • SDS & SDS-Plus: These are the most common and interchangeable terms for smaller rotary hammers, using a 10 mm shank with 2 open slots and 2 closed grooves.

  • SDS-Max: Designed for heavy-duty applications, SDS-Max bits have a larger 18 mm shank and are used in larger rotary hammers for heavy drilling or chiseling work.
    Always ensure your drill matches the shank type of the SDS bit to avoid compatibility issues.

 

How do I choose the right SDS bit or set for my job?
Consider:

  • Application – masonry drilling, concrete anchoring, chiselling, or demolition

  • Bit type –

    • SDS drill bits for hole drilling

    • SDS chisel bits (flat, pointed, or gouge) for breaking and shaping

    • Core bits for larger diameter holes

  • Length and diameter – match your tool capacity and hole depth

  • Material and tip design – carbide tips for longevity; 4-cutter heads for reinforced concrete
    SDS bit sets often include multiple sizes and types, offering a versatile solution for tradespeople and DIYers.
