What is an SDS drill bit and what are they typically used for?

SDS drill bits are designed for use with rotary hammers, providing a secure connection and efficient power transfer for drilling into concrete, brick, and stone. They are commonly used in construction and demolition for tasks like drilling anchor holes, creating passages for pipes and cables, and breaking up masonry.

What are the different types of SDS drill bits available at ToolSource?

ToolSource offers a wide variety of SDS drill bits, including SDS Plus and SDS Max shanks, as well as core bits. SDS Plus is more common for lighter-duty applications, while SDS Max is designed for larger diameter holes and more demanding tasks. Core bits are used to drill large, clean holes for plumbing or electrical work.

Which brands of SDS drill bits does ToolSource carry?

ToolSource carries a comprehensive selection of SDS drill bits from leading brands in the industry. You can find options from Milwaukee Electric Tools, DeWALT, Makita, Hanson, Irwin, Mayhew Tools, EZ Red, and Bahco, among others. With 469 different SDS drill bits available, you're sure to find the right one for your needs.

How do I choose the right size SDS drill bit for my project?

Selecting the correct size depends on the specific application. Consider the diameter and depth of the hole you need to drill. For anchor installation, match the bit size to the anchor's specifications. For core drilling, choose a core bit that matches the outer diameter of the pipe or conduit you're installing.

What is the difference between SDS Plus and SDS Max drill bits, and which one should I choose?

SDS Plus bits are generally smaller and used for lighter-duty rotary hammers, ideal for drilling smaller holes in concrete and masonry. SDS Max bits are larger and designed for heavier-duty rotary hammers, suitable for drilling larger diameter holes and tackling more demanding demolition or coring tasks. Consider the size and power of your rotary hammer and the type of material you'll be drilling to determine which shank type is appropriate.

What should I look for when buying a high-quality SDS drill bit?

When selecting an SDS drill bit, consider the quality of the carbide tip, the flute design for efficient dust removal, and the overall construction of the bit. Look for bits made from durable materials that can withstand the impact and abrasion of drilling into hard materials. Brands like Milwaukee and DeWALT are known for their quality and durability.

Can I use SDS drill bits in a regular drill?

No, SDS drill bits are specifically designed for use with rotary hammers that have an SDS chuck. Attempting to use them in a regular drill can damage both the drill and the bit, and will not provide the necessary hammering action for effective drilling into concrete or masonry.

Are there any accessories I should consider purchasing with my SDS drill bits?

Consider purchasing safety glasses to protect your eyes from debris, as well as work gloves for a better grip and hand protection. Depending on the application, you may also want to consider purchasing a dust extraction system to minimize dust exposure, especially when working indoors. Also, having a variety of sizes and types of SDS drill bits on hand can be beneficial for tackling different projects.
