Drill bit AWTools SDS Plus 16 x 600 mm Quadro Xtreme Black Line

AWTools SDS Plus 16 x 600 mm Quadro Xtreme Black Line is a long SDS Plus drill bit designed for impact drilling in concrete, masonry and natural stone with compatible rotary hammers. The 16 mm diameter and 600 mm length make it suitable for deep holes, anchor and rebar drilling where extended reach and straight drilling are required. The Quadro Xtreme head geometry and flute design support efficient dust evacuation and steady bit retention in the chuck.

Advantages

The Quadro Xtreme Black Line bit combines a robust carbide tip geometry and a tailored flute profile to improve drilling speed and prolong tool life under heavy use. Its SDS Plus shank ensures consistent bit seating and fast changeover in SDS-compatible rotary hammers. The extended 600 mm working length provides access to deep drilling points while maintaining acceptable vibration and control when used with appropriate tools and techniques.

Suitable for

• Impact drilling in concrete for anchor and dowel installation
• Drilling through masonry and natural stone for through-holes
• Deep hole drilling where a 600 mm working length is required
• Professional construction and renovation tasks as well as serious DIY projects

When it may not be suitable

This SDS Plus 16 x 600 mm bit is not intended for use in standard drills without an SDS-compatible chuck or for rotary-only use on delicate materials where impact would cause cracking. It may also be over-dimensioned for light domestic tasks that require smaller diameters or shorter lengths; in such cases a shorter bit or smaller diameter would be more practical and less likely to cause excessive tool strain.

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS Plus compatible
• Diameter: 16 mm
• Working length: 600 mm
• Intended use: impact drilling in concrete, masonry and stone
• Tip: carbide cutting head with Quadro Xtreme geometry
• Flute design: optimized for dust removal during deep drilling

How to use

Fit the bit securely into an SDS Plus rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, start with a pilot mark or use low-speed positioning to avoid wandering. Engage the hammer function for impact drilling in concrete and masonry; apply steady axial pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris from the hole and allow cooling when making deep or long runs. Replace the bit if the carbide tip shows significant wear or the flute becomes damaged.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your rotary hammer supports SDS Plus shanks
• Confirm a 16 mm diameter and 600 mm length are appropriate for your anchors or through-holes
• Check compatibility with the materials you will drill (concrete, masonry, stone)
• Consider whether dust extraction or personal protective equipment will be needed for extended drilling

Usage recommendations

Use the bit with a rotary hammer set to hammer-drill mode, maintain steady pressure, and withdraw periodically to clear dust. For cleaner holes and longer tool life, use dust extraction if available and wear appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection during prolonged drilling operations.
