Drill Bit Art-Pol SDS+ 16 mm AR48466 for Concrete

The Art-Pol SDS+ 16 mm drill bit AR48466 is designed for drilling in concrete and masonry with hammer drills and rotary hammers. With a 16 mm diameter and an SDS+ shank, this drill bit provides secure seating in compatible chucks and enables fast bit changes. The carbide tip and robust flute geometry are engineered to penetrate aggregate and reinforced concrete while preserving bit life and delivering consistent hole quality for medium-diameter anchoring, service penetrations and installation work.

Advantages

This drill bit offers a hardened carbide cutting tip that improves wear resistance when drilling in abrasive concrete and masonry. The SDS+ shank ensures quick and reliable tool changes without additional adapters, reducing downtime on the job. The flute design evacuates dust efficiently to maintain drilling speed and reduce binding. The 16 mm diameter provides a balance between drilling speed and structural hole size, suitable for many standard anchors and fittings.

Suitable for

• Drilling medium-diameter holes in concrete and brick for anchors and dowels
• Installation of electrical conduits, plumbing penetrations and HVAC fixings
• Renovation and construction tasks requiring hammer drilling with SDS+ tools

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Tip material: carbide
• Intended material: concrete and masonry
• Compatible tools: hammer drills and rotary hammers with SDS+ chuck

How to use

Select an SDS+ compatible hammer drill or rotary hammer and insert the bit into the chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling position and, if required, use a center punch to prevent walking on smooth surfaces. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and use hammer mode for concrete and masonry. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and allow cooling; for deep holes, remove debris frequently to maintain drilling efficiency. Use proper personal protective equipment and follow your tool manufacturer's instructions for safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For longer bit life and consistent performance, use cooling pauses during extended drilling, avoid excessive sideways pressure, and ensure the retaining mechanism of your SDS+ tool is clean and functioning. Match the 16 mm hole to the appropriate anchor or fixing size and confirm drill depth before installing fasteners.
