Drill bit AWTools SDS-Plus 12 x 160 mm Quadro Xtreme Black Line

AWTools SDS-Plus 12 x 160 mm Quadro Xtreme Black Line is a rotary hammer drill bit engineered for percussion drilling in concrete, masonry and natural stone. With a 12 mm working diameter and 160 mm overall length, this SDS-Plus bit fits hammer drills with SDS-Plus chucks and provides stable penetration and reliable chip evacuation. The Quadro Xtreme four-flute geometry and reinforced cutting head are designed to support continuous drilling tasks in both professional and home repair environments.

Advantages

The Quadro four-flute design accelerates dust and debris removal from the hole, reducing friction and allowing more consistent drilling speed. The hardened cutting tip maintains edge retention during repeated impact drilling, while the cylindrical shank with SDS-Plus profile ensures secure, play-free engagement in compatible chucks. The Black Line surface finish helps resist corrosion and simplifies handling on the job site.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchor bolts and dowels
• Creating penetration points in masonry walls and brickwork
• Installing electrical conduits and plumbing through stone or block
• General light-to-medium professional and DIY demolition and installation tasks

Key specifications

• Tool system: SDS-Plus shank compatible with SDS-Plus hammer drills
• Diameter: 12 mm working diameter
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Geometry: four-flute Quadro design for improved dust removal
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Finish: black protective coating for corrosion resistance

How to use

Select an SDS-Plus hammer drill and insert the bit fully into the chuck until it locks. Use the hammer function for percussion drilling into concrete, masonry or stone; apply steady axial pressure without forcing the bit. Start drilling at a low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as the bit advances. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated dust and allow cooling when performing extended drilling runs.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the drill speed and hammer settings to the material hardness and work intermittently to avoid overheating. Use safety protection including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling. Replace the bit if the cutting tip becomes worn or the flute profile is damaged to maintain efficient drilling performance.
