Drill Bit AWTools SDS‑MAX 26 x 400 x 540 mm — AWTools AW43849

AWTools SDS‑MAX 26 x 400 x 540 mm drill bit is designed for rotary hammers with an SDS‑MAX chuck. With a 26 mm cutting diameter and a 400 mm effective working length, this drill bit is intended for drilling holes in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry where extended reach is required. The 540 mm total length provides reserve length for deep anchoring or through‑work while the SDS‑MAX shank ensures secure retention and efficient impact transfer in compatible rotary hammers.

Advantages

The AWTools SDS‑MAX 26 x 400 x 540 mm offers a robust carbide tip geometry engineered for effective material removal and longer service life when used in concrete and masonry. Its SDS‑MAX shank design gives reliable fixation in rotary hammers, reducing play and improving drilling precision. The combination of working and total length allows deeper drilling without changing bits frequently, while heat‑resistant construction supports sustained use under load.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and through bolts
• Making passages in masonry and brickwork
• Professional construction jobs requiring extended reach
• DIY projects involving deep drilling into structural materials

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 26 mm
• Working length (effective): 400 mm
• Total length: 540 mm
• Shank type: SDS‑MAX compatible
• Primary application: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry

How to use

Install the drill bit into an SDS‑MAX rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions until it locks securely. Select appropriate rotation and impact settings for the material being drilled. Begin drilling at moderate pressure, allowing the hammer action and carbide tip to remove material; avoid excessive side force. Withdraw periodically to clear dust and debris from the hole and maintain cooling. After use, clean the bit and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the drill bit with compatible SDS‑MAX rotary hammers rated for the intended workload and ensure adequate dust extraction or respiratory protection when drilling concrete or masonry. Match drill diameter to anchor or fixing requirements and avoid overheating by pausing during long continuous drilling operations.
