Driving Device with SDS Tip D16-20, Bettermann AH14161

The Bettermann Driving Device with SDS Tip D16-20 is an accessory for SDS-compatible hammer drills and impact drivers designed to drive fasteners and anchors into masonry and concrete. It combines an SDS shank for secure tool connection with a D16-20 driving tip geometry intended for reliable engagement with corresponding anchors and fixings on construction sites and renovation projects.

Advantages

The SDS connection provides a stable, slip-resistant mount in rotary-percussion tools, reducing wobble and improving control during driving operations. The D16-20 tip profile is engineered to match common anchor types and to transfer torque efficiently for consistent setting depth. The device is made to withstand the impact forces typical of hammer drilling and driving tasks, offering serviceable durability for regular professional use.

Suitable for

• Driving anchors and fasteners into masonry, concrete, and similar substrates
• Use with SDS-compatible rotary-percussion drills and impact drivers
• Tradespeople and installers performing installation, renovation, or structural fastening work

When it may not be suitable

This driving device is intended specifically for SDS-compatible hammer drills and may not fit non-SDS tool chucks or cordless drivers without the corresponding SDS interface. It is designed for masonry and concrete applications; using it on delicate materials such as drywall, plaster, or thin metal without appropriate fasteners can damage the substrate or produce poor results.

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS connection for rotary-percussion tools
• Tip designation: D16-20 driving tip geometry
• Application: anchoring and fastening in masonry and concrete
• Intended use: professional and trade installation tasks

How to use

Select an SDS-compatible hammer drill or impact driver and insert the driving device into the tool’s SDS chuck until it locks. Choose the correct anchor or fastener that matches the D16-20 tip specification. Position the anchor or fastener on the marked point, align the tool perpendicular to the work surface, and operate the drill at the appropriate speed and impact setting for the substrate. Apply steady pressure and monitor driving depth; stop periodically to inspect the setting and clear debris. After use, unlock and remove the device from the SDS chuck and store it in a dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill or driver accepts SDS shanks
• Confirm the D16-20 tip matches the anchors or fasteners you plan to use
• Consider the substrate type—designed primarily for masonry and concrete

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when operating rotary-percussion tools. Match driving speed and impact settings to the substrate and fastener type, and avoid side loads that could bend the tip or damage the tool interface.
