Drill bit AWTools AW43721 SDS-Max 16 x 600 x 740 mm

AWTools AW43721 SDS-Max 16 x 600 x 740 mm is a dedicated SDS‑Max rotary hammer drill bit with a 16 mm cutting diameter and 600 mm working length. It is designed for drilling holes in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry when used with SDS‑Max rotary hammers. The 740 mm overall length provides extended reach for deeper fixation and renovation tasks while the standard SDS‑Max shank ensures quick and secure tool engagement.

Advantages

The AWTools AW43721 combines a long working length with a narrow 16 mm diameter to reach deep anchor points and installation zones without the need for extensions. Its SDS‑Max shank offers reliable retention and efficient impact energy transfer for consistent drilling performance in hard materials. The bit’s geometry is optimized for chip removal and reduced jamming in concrete and masonry, supporting steady drilling speed and improved bit life under typical jobsite conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes for mechanical fixings in concrete and masonry
• Deep drilling for renovation and retrofit installations
• Creating through‑holes and service penetrations in walls and floors
• Work with SDS‑Max rotary hammers on construction sites and during structural repairs

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 16 mm
• Working length: 600 mm
• Overall length: 740 mm
• Shank type: SDS‑Max compatible
• Intended materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry

How to use

Install the bit into an SDS‑Max rotary hammer according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the chuck locks securely. Use the rotary hammer in hammer drilling mode and apply steady axial pressure; avoid excessive side load. Start at low speed to seat the bit, then proceed at recommended drilling speed for the host material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole; for deep holes, use compressed air or a vacuum to remove material and reduce heat buildup. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling.

Usage recommendations

For best results in reinforced concrete, pre‑mark drilling positions and use peck drilling with frequent extraction to improve chip removal. Match the rotary hammer power to the bit size and task; higher impact energy tools will increase drilling speed but require controlled handling. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if the cutting edges are blunted or the shank is distorted.
